The author of the report qualified the increased reproduction rate at 0.107 and 0.226 mg/L as hormesis. This finding could also be an indication of endocrine disruptive activity. The increased reproductive rate at 0.107 and 0.226 mg/L in the main test (conducted with 4 replicates of 5 daphnia each) was apparent from the start of production of offspring onwards (day 8), and was sustained until day 21. This finding was however not confirmed in the two preliminary tests, conducted with 2 replicates of 5 daphnia each. In the first preliminary test, the number of juveniles per parent alive was 31.2 and 29.5 at 0.08 and 0.2 mg/L , versus 25.6 in the untreated control and 36.7 in the solvent control. In the second preliminary test, the number of juveniles per parent alive was 30.9 at 0.08 mg/L, versus 30.2 in the untreated control and 28.2 in the solvent control. Therefore the increased reproduction rate at 0.107 and 0.226 mg/L observed in the main test is considered to be an incidental finding and not attributable to endocrine disruptive effects. The NOEC proposed in the report of 0.226 mg/L is therefore supported.

Additional information
Data on a similar substance with lower chain length:
C14 MES: 21 d LC50 > 8.47 mg/L; 21 d repro EC50 = 6.81 mg/L; 21 d repro NOEC = 4.10 mg/L
The combination toxicology cannot be used to determine one single key value for chemical safety assessment of the reaction mass - indeed, the proportion of both components that enter the environment (after the STP) is not deemed to be the same as the proportion of the 2 components before the STP
