Additional information

In order toevaluate the toxicity to fish, the substance was tested according to a Ciba-Geigy internal method (n.11). Eight fish were exposed to the target substance at the following concentrations: 100, 200 and 1000 mg/l. The mortality of the tested organisms was observed after 24 and 48 hours of exposure. Based on the mortality observed the LC50 was calculated to be 450 mg/l
