Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
According to the test results BNTC did not cause 50% reduction on alga growth rate even at its saturated concentration (0.00264 mg/L). According to the GHS and OECD series on testing and assessment, Number 33 BNTC is not hazardous to the aquatic environment [72 h EC50 (for algae or other aquatic plants) > saturated concentration of BNTC
