EC50
Effect conc.:
<= 28 mg/L
Conc. based on:
test mat.
Basis for effect:
growth rate
Remarks:
at 28 mg/l ( NOEC)

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
The EC 50 for both growth rate reduction ( ERC50: 0 -72h) and yield inhibition ( EYC50: 0 -72h) was beyond 28 mg/l.
Executive summary:

Under the conditions of the study with pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, the test substance did not reduce growth rate of this freshwater algae species at 28mg/l (NOEC). Yield inhibition was statically inhibited by 22% ( NOEC < 28 mg/l).

The EC 50 for both growth rate reduction ( ERC50: 0 -72h) and yield inhibition ( EYC50: 0 -72h) was beyond 28 mg/l.
