Results and discussion

Effect concentrations
Duration:
96 h
Dose descriptor:
LC50
Effect conc.:
1 340 mg/L
Nominal / measured:
nominal
Conc. based on:
test mat.
Basis for effect:
mortality (fish)

Any other information on results incl. tables

Sublethal observations / clinical signs:

An analytical control of the nominal concentration of the test material in water should have been performed. However, the mortality to fish is caused in the range of the nominal concentration of the test material of 100 mg/L up to 1800 mg/L. In this range of nominal concentration the active ingredient should be very well soluble in water (120 g/L). Therefore, it can be concluded that the nominal concentraion is causing the mortality.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
In an acute toxicity study on rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) the 96 hour LC50 was determined to be 1340 mg/L.
Executive summary:

An acute toxicity study on rainbow trout was carried out in year 1990 according to OECD Guideline 203 and GLP.

The procedure used in this investigation corresponded to a flow-through test with continuous aeration. The 96 hour LC50 was

determined to be 1340 mg/L.
