Endpoint:
short-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
November 1999
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Study not in GLP, purity of the sample has not been assessed, but the study is conducting following official guideline and scientifically valid to assess the end point

EU Method C.2 (Acute Toxicity for Daphnia)
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
Water accomodation fraction

Details on test solutions:
Solutions are prepared just before testing. In comparaison with the control, a series of geometric concentration solutions has been prepared to obtain 100% imobilisation after 48h.

WAF solutions are prepared: 10%, 1%, 0.1%, 0.01%, 0.001%
Test organisms (species):
Daphnia magna
Details on test organisms:
Daphnia magna strauss of more than 6 hours and less than 24 hours old.

Executive summary:

The short term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates has been assessed following OECD 202 on rape oil methyl ester, with deviation for poor soluble substances following ISO 147.
