- Analytical monitoring: 92-96 % of the nominal concentration at preparation; 93-97 % just before the renewal of the test water.

- Water chemistry in test (O2, pH): DO (mg/L); 8.2-8.9; pH; 7.2-8.4

- EC50: >100 mg/L (21 d reproduction)

- LC50 for parental Daphnia (21 d): >100 mg/L

- NOEC: >=100 mg/L (21 d reproduction)

- Statistical results, as appropriate: There was no statistically significant difference between data from the control and 100 mg/L test groups.

 

Nominal concentrations (as mg/L): 100

- Cumulative numbers of dead parental Daphnia: 

0 % mortality at control and 100 mg/L

- Time of the first brood production of juveniles: 7 d at control and 100 mg/L

 

- Mean cumulative numbers of juveniles produced per live adult:

- Control response satisfactory: Yes

Conclusions:
There was no statistically significant difference in mean cumulative numbers of juveniles produced per live adult between the treatment group and the control. Hence, 21d-EC50 was greater than 100 mg/L and 21d-NOEC was more than 100 mg/L on chronic Daphnia reproduction test.
