Conclusions:

The lethal concentration (LC50) value of test material in zebra fish in a 96 hr study was observed to be 6.3 mg/l.

Executive summary:

Short term toxicity to fish for 96 h was evaluated for the test material . The test was performed as per EEC-Guideline L251.No stock solution was prepared.The test substance was mixed directly in the water of the tanks .10 fishes per concentration and control were used .Glass aquaria of 20 liters filled with 15 liters Dechlorinated tap water (carbon filter) was used as medium . The nominal test concentration used were 1.0, 1.8, 3.2, 5.8, 10 mg/l . The LC-50 values were calculated according to the maximum likelihood method, probit model. The lethal concentration (LC50) value of test material in zebra fish in a 96 hr study was observed to be 6.3 mg/l. Based on the above effect concentration it can be concluded that test substance was toxic for fish and hence, considered to be classified in aquatic chronic category 2 as per CLP criteria.
