Conclusions:
The EC50 of the short term toxicity on the mobility of Daphnids was determined to be 410 mg/L.

Description of key information

With high probability acutely not harmful to aquatic invertebrates.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Fresh water invertebrates

Fresh water invertebrates
Effect concentration:
410 mg/L

Additional information

The acute toxicity of the test substance to Daphnia magna was examined in a static test conducted according to EU Directive 79/831/EEC. Test organisms of the species Daphnia magna were exposed to the substance for 48 h. At test termination, an EC50 of 410 mg/L (nominal) was determined.
