Description of key information

EC10 (72h, growth rate): 24 mg/L;

EC50 (72h, growth rate): 88 mg/L;

NOEC (72h, biomass and growth rate): 10 mg/L

88 mg/L
EC10 or NOEC for freshwater algae:
24 mg/L

Additional information

In a 72 hour inhibition test with freshwater algae (Selenastrum capricornutum), the test item reduced total cell growth and growth rate significantly at 22 mg/L and higher:

EC10 (72h, growth rate): 24 mg/L;

EC50 (72h, growth rate): 88 mg/L;

NOEC (72h, biomass and growth rate): 10 mg/L

The test was performed according to ISO International Standard 8692, 2004. In addition, the procedures were designed to meet the test methods and validity criteria of the EEC directive 92/69, Part C.3, 1992 and the OECD guideline No. 201, 1984. Test item concentrations were analytically verified and in agreement with nominal concentrations.
