Details on results:
Two main studies conducted as the results of the first main study (no immobility in any test concentration was seen) was not expected based on the results of the preliminary study. Both main studies gave the same results EC50 >100 mg/L.
Results with reference substance (positive control):
- Results with reference substance valid? yes
- Relevant effect levels: 48h EC50 0.8 mg/L
