Description of key information

The 96 hour acute toxicity of sodium formate to two fish species, rainbow trout and fathead minnow was >1000 mg/L.


    
  

    

Two acute toxicity studies withPimephales promelasandOncorhynchus mykisswere performed under GLP according to guideline EPA OTS 797.1400. Test item concentrations were analytically verified. In both studies the 96-h LC50 was determined to be greater than 1000 mg/L (Hoechst Celanese, 1990).
