Reference
Endpoint:
short-term toxicity to fish
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
18-03-1985 to 22-03-1985
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Non GLP study. Deviations from the updated OECD-guideline (adopted 1992): Highest vehicle concentration: > 100 mg/L
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 203 (Fish, Acute Toxicity Test)
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:

GLP compliance:
no
Analytical monitoring:
yes
Details on sampling:
- Sampling method: Samples for analysis were taken at 0 h and 96 h exposure. Approx. 50 ml of testwater were taken after intensively stirring and filled in a tared bottle containing 30 mL of tetrahydrofuran. The bottle was reweighed. The resulting sample weight was converted to volume.
Vehicle:
yes
Details on test solutions:

Description of key information

With high probability acutely not harmful to fish. 

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The acute toxicity to fish was assessed in a 96-h acute toxicity study to zebra-fish (Brachydanio rerio) in accordance to OECD guideline 203. The test was conducted under static conditions with a nominal concentration of 100 mg/L. The 96-h LC50 was determined to be > 100 mg/L.
