Additional information
A GLP-compliant OECD 203 guideline study is available for short-term toxicity in zebra fish (Brachydanio rerio) for HBF4. Fish (10/dose) were exposed to five test concentrations of tetrafluoroboric acid (1.0 to 7.1 g/L) and a blank control (without test substance or any other additive) for a period of 96 hours under static conditions. Prior to the initiation of the test the pH value of the stock solution was adjusted to 7.5 with NaOH. Analytical monitoring was performed in three of the exposure concentrations. Analytical values were ~50% of nominal for all concentrations at all sampling times. The 96-h LC50 value was determined at a nominal concentration of 2600 mg/L which corresponds to an analytical concentration of 1300 mg/L.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
