No water quality data has been presented. Since there were no mortality in the controls and the pattern of mortality appeared regular it can be safely assumed that water quality parameters were within the norm.

Additional information
Freshwater
No reliable measured data for short term toxicity of DTPMP-H to freshwater invertebrates are available. A study is available indicating the short term toxicity of DTPMP-2Na salts to Daphnia magna to be in the range 192-250 mg/l (Zeneca 1995). An insufficient level of detail is reported in the test to determine whether pH had an effect on the mortality of the test organism and the study has been assigned reliability 4 by the reviewer.
However, a reliable 48 h EC50 value of 9910 mg active acid/l has been determined for the effects of DTPMP acid on the mortality of the freshwater insect Chironomus tentans. The organism is normally used for sediment tests, however since this is an aqueous exposure, the study has been considered in the freshwater aquatic assessment. No water quality data have been presented. Since there were no mortality in the controls and the pattern of mortality appeared regular it can be safely assumed that water quality parameters were within the norm.
Marine
A reliable 48 h EC50 value of >250 mg active acid/l has been determined for the effects of DTPMP-7Na on the immobility of the marine copepod Acartia tonsa.
