Study design

Test type:
static
Water media type:
freshwater
Limit test:
no
Total exposure duration:
96 h

Test conditions

Test temperature:
21.9-23.1°C
pH:
7.7 - 8.7
Nominal and measured concentrations:
Nominal
7 concentration leveis in a geometrical series with a factor of 2

The concentrations of Formaldehyde <23.1 % wlw content in the test item) were analysed at all
concentrations at test start and test end. The concentrations of the active ingredient
Tetramethylolacetylene diurea (4-ADH) were calculated based on the results of the formaledhyde
(HCHO) determinations. The recovery rates at the test start were in the range of 77 - 83 %
whereas at the end of the test Formaldehyde only could be detected in the two highest dosage
leveis with recovery rates between 4 and 9 %, respectively
Reference substance (positive control):
yes
Remarks:
Potassium dichromate
