Additional information

According to the CLP Regulation (EC 1272/2008), acute aquatic toxicity is normally determined using a fish 96-hour LC50, a crustacean species 48-hour EC50 and/or an algal species 72- or 96-hour EC50; nevertheless it is also specified in the Regulation that data on other species (e. g. Lemna spp.) shall also be considered if the test methodology is suitable. These species cover a range of trophic levels and are considered as surrogate for all aquatic organisms.

According to the table 4.1.0 of the CLP Regulation (EC n. 1272/2008), asubstance for wich adequate chronic toxicity data are not available shall be classified as

Aquatic Acute 1 when:

96 hr LC50 (for fish)1 mg/l and/or

48 hr EC50 (for crustacea)≤1mg/l and/or

72 or 96 hr ErC (for algae or other aquatic plants)1 mg/l

Aquatic Chronic 1 when:

96 hr LC50 (for fish)1 mg/l and/or

48 hr EC50 (for crustacea)≤1mg/l and/or

72 or 96 hr ErC (for algae or other aquatic plants)1 mg/l

Aquatic Chronic 2 when:

96 hr LC50 (for fish) > 1 <= 10 mg/l and/or

48 hr EC50 (for crustacea)> 1 <= 10 mg/l and/or

72 or 96 hr ErC (for algae or other aquatic plants)> 1 <= 10 mg/l

Aquatic Chronic 3 when:

96 hr LC50 (for fish) > 10 <= 100 mg/l and/or

48 hr EC50 (for crustacea)> 10 <= 100 mg/l and/or

72 or 96 hr ErC (for algae or other aquatic plants)> 10 <= 100 mg/l

and the substance is not rapidly degradable and/or the experimentally determined BCF ≥ 500 (or, if absent, the log K ow ≥ 4

The tests results are reported below:

- Acute fish toxicity was investigated following OECD 203 and gave a LC 50 > 100 mg/l.
- Toxicity to aquatic invertebrates was investigated following the OECD Guideline 202 (Daphnia Magna Acute Immobilisation Test).
Based on the test results, the tested substance showed some toxic effects on Daphnids and the EC50 (48 h) was set at 7.63 mg/l.

- The inhibitory effects of the tested substance to the duckweed Lemna minor were investigated over a period of 7 days, based on the frond number and biomass (dry weight), following the guideline OECD 221. Based on the test results, the EC50 value was set at 196 mg/L and the NOEC value was set to 6.38 mg/l.

Based on the test results, the substance shoul be classified as Aquatic Chronic 2, H411: Toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects.
