Analytical verification of the concentration of the test substance

The test substance is considered stable, because the HPLC-UV values, at the beginning and at the

end of the test, at lower and higher concentration, remain within the required range, so results are

referred to the nominal concentration.

The percentage stability for lower concentration is 99%

The percentage stability for higher concentration is 100%

The results are reported in the Appendix 5.

 

EC50

EC50was evaluted using EPA Probit analysis program version1.5.

 

On the basis of results, interpreted according with OECD guideline N° 202, the test substance

“OXALIC ACID DI-HYDRATE” has an EC50(48h) of 162.2 mg/l.

Validity criteria fulfilled:
no
Conclusions:
The 48h EC50 was 162.2 mg/l
Executive summary:

Daphnia magna were exposed to oxalic acid during 48 h according to the guideline OECD TG 202 in a GLP laboratory test. An 48 h EC50 of 136.9 mg/l was determined.

Description of key information

Daphnia magna were exposed to oxalic acid during 48 h according to the guideline OECD TG 202 in a GLP laboratory test. An 48 h EC50 of 136.9 mg/l was determined.
