Conclusions:
The short term toxicity of Ceriodaphnia dubia Richard to 1,2 dichlorobenzene was determined in a laboratory study by Rose et al (1998) according to standard methods (Warne 1996) based on US EPA methods (US EPA 1993) and ASTM (1988). The EC50 (48 h) was reported as 0.66 mg/L (initially measured concentration).
Executive summary:

Rose et al. (1998).

The EC50 (48 h) for Ceriodaphnia dubia Richard was determined in a laboratory study according to standard methods (Warne 1996) based on US EPA methods (US EPA 1993) and ASTM (1988) to be 0.66 mg/L (initially measured concentration).

Remark: The EC50 (48 h) was originally reported to be 4.5 µmol/L (95% CV: 3.0 - 6.7 µmol/L) (initially measured concentration).

Description of key information

Additional information

The short term toxicity of Ceriodaphnia dubia Richard to 1,2 dichlorobenzene was determined in a laboratory study by Rose et al (1998) according to standard methods (Warne 1996) based on US EPA methods (US EPA 1993) and ASTM (1988). The EC50 (48 h) was reported as 0.66 mg/L (initially measured concentration) and this was considered the key endpoint for acute toxicity of

1,2 dichlorobenzene to aquatic invertebrates.
