Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
Static acute toxicity test according to OECD TG 201 with Scenedesmus subspicatus. Test meets validity criteria of the guideline. No analytical monitoring was made. Therefore the test results are based on nominal concentration.
ErC50 (72 h) = 0.36 mg/l
ErC10 (72 h) = 0.1 mg/l
EbC50 (72 h) = 0.18 mg/l
EbC10 (72 h) = 0.05 mg/l
