Basis for effect:
mortality
Remarks on result:
other: Actual value- 4897 µg/L
Results with reference substance (positive control):
No mortality was observed in positive control
Conclusions:
Long term toxicity (14 d) value of test material to Pimephales promelas examined of NOEC:1.048 mg/l (on the basis of body size) and NOEC: >4.897 mg/l (on the basis of mortality).
Executive summary:

The 14-days fish experiments were conducted using juvenile, sexually undifferentiated fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas), between 2

and 3 months of age and with a total body length between 19 and 27 mm . Fish were held in well-aerated reconstituted tap water medium.

The studies were conducted using a 24-h static-renewal procedure with daily renewal of total aquaria water. For exposure, 10 randomly selected fish were each placed in stainless-steel tanks (10 liter) and exposed to individual UV filters for 14 days. Long term toxicity (14 d) value of test material to Pimephales promelas examined of NOEC:1.048 mg/l (on the basis of body size) and NOEC: >4.897 mg/l (on the basis of mortality). Based on the above effect concentration it is considered to be non - hazardous to aquatic environment and can not be classified as per CLP criteria .
