Executive summary:

The study was conducted according to guideline OECD Guideline 235 to determine acute toxicity of test substance to unfed Chironomus riparius larvae (3 days old) in an unaerated, static, 48-hour test.

 

Treatments consisted of a dilution water control and eight nominal concentrations of 0.48, 1.1, 2.3, 5.1, 11, 25, 55 and 120 mg active substance (a.s.)/L and the mean measured concentrations of test substance are 0.46, 1.1, 2.3, 4.9, 11, 24, 54 and 118 mg a.s./L. and ranged from 96 to 100% of nominal concentrations. Five midges were used per replicate with four replicates per test concentration and control and Immobility and behavioral observations were made at approximately 5.5, 24 and 48 hours (± 1 hour) following initiation of exposure. The highest nominal test concentration causing no immobility at test end was <0.48 mg a.s./L, the lowest concentration tested. The lowest nominal test concentration causing 100% immobility at test end was 25 mg a.s./L. The 48-hour EC50, based on nominal concentrations and immobility data, was 2.5 mg a.s./L, with a 95% confidence interval of 1.6 to 3.7 mg a.s./L

Description of key information

48 -hr EC50 (Chironomus riparius, Midge) = 2.5 mg/L; OECD 235; Reliability = 1

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

In the midge, the 48-hour EC50 was 2.5 mg/L.
