Results and discussion
Any other information on results incl. tables
Chemical analysis verified the presence of MTBE in the exposure part of the test system. The measured mean value is 15.76 µg/L with low variation. The obtained results indicate that the eels do not seem to avoid MTBE exposure at the concentrations tested.
The reference studies showed that the presence of eels in the Zn impact zone (both 10 and 30 mg/L) was significantly lower than the control zone. The test design can thus be assumed to react adequately in relation to avoidance reactions.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
