Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
The 72-h ErC10 and ErC50 to Desmodesmus subspicatus were determined to be 0.13 and 1.4 mg/L, respectively. The (to act. ingr.) converted effect levels are 72-h ErC10 = 0.069 mg/L and 72-h ErC50 = 0.742 mg/L. The substance is acutely and chronically toxic to freshwater green algae.
