Conclusions:
Under the study conditions, the nominal 72 h ErC50 and ErC10 for growth rate were 142.78 mg/L and 17.85 mg/L, respectively. The nominal 72 h EbC50 and 72 h EbC10 for biomass were 88.28 mg/L and 8.3 mg/L, respectively.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the toxicity of the test substance to algae according to DIN 38412 L9. The nominal concentrations tested were: 100, 50, 25, 10, 5 and 2.5 mg/L. No analytical dose verification was conducted. Under the study conditions, the nominal 72 h ErC50 and ErC10 for growth rate were 142.78 mg/L and 17.85 mg/L, respectively. The nominal 72 h EbC50 and 72 h EbC10 for biomass were 88.28 mg/L and 8.3 mg/L, respectively (Hapke, 1989).
