Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
ErC50 (0-72h) : >90.5 mg/L, NOECr (0-72h): 29.1 mg/L
Executive summary:

1) Concentrations of test substance in test solutions and test cultures

The time-weighted means of measured concentrations of the test substance in Conc. 1 to 5 were 9.04,16.2,29.1, 51.9 and 90.5 mg/L,respectively,which were more than 80% of the nominal concentration.

2) Inhibition concentration by comparison of growth rates

The results were calculated from the time-weighted mean of measured concentrations.

50% growth inhibition concentration,ErC50 (0-72h) : >90.5 mg/L

(95% confidence limits: not available)*

No observed effect concentration,NOECr (0-72h): 29.1 mg/L

*The highest concentration of the test was 100 mg/L of the maximum test concentration given in the Test Guideline. As the inhibition rate at the highest concentration was less than 50%,the ErC50 value was shown as the range,> maximum concentration".

3) Observation of the appearance of algae

By microscopic observation at the end of exposure,in the concentration groups neither unusual cell shape of algae (contraction,expansion,damaged cell etc.) nor agglutination was observed,and the algae looked normal compared with that in the control group.
