Test conditions

Test temperature:
25 °C
Details on test conditions:
The toxicity of formamide used in preparations of agrochemicals was tested by determination of the LC50 (median lethal concentration) on frogs.
- test organisms: tadpoles of Rana bravipoda porosa
- mean length: 3.0 cm
- mean weight: 0.45 g
- test vessels: 200 ml beakers (9 x 9 cm) 
- No. of tadpoles per test vessel: 10
- replicates: 2 (the experiment was repeated)
- observations: mortality after 3, 6, 12, 24 and 48 h
