Subsequently, the preparation was stirred with a magnetic stirrer for further 23 hours. Afterwards, the formulation was passed through a membrane filter with a pore size of 0.2 µm. The filtrate was used for the study. - Test organisms (species):

- Remarks on result:
- other: > 0.003 mg/L (LOD)
- Details on results:
- The 96 hour LC50 for the test material to Zebrafish could not be quantified due to the absence of toxicity at the highest test concentration achievable in water. An aqueous filtrate of 0.1 g/L nominally revealed no aquatic toxicity in the test system.
The 96h LC50 exceeded the LOD of 0.003 mg/L (nominal >100 mg/L) and, thus, could not be determined in this study.

- Observations on body length and weight: no
- Other biological observations: no
- Mortality of control: no
- Other adverse effects control: no
- Abnormal responses: no
- Any observations (e.g. precipitation) that might cause a difference between measured and nominal values: no
- Effect concentrations exceeding solubility of substance in test medium: yes - Sublethal observations / clinical signs:
Validity of the Test
No mortality was seen during the acclimation phase. Therefore, the acceptance criteria for the fish batch were fulfilled.
The mortality in the control did not exceed 10% at the end of the study.
Constant conditions were maintained throughout the study.
The dissolved oxygen concentration was > 60% throughout the study.
Thus, the validity criteria were fulfilled.
Biological Results
Mortality: No mortality occurred.
Clinical Symptoms: No clinical symptoms were observed.

- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the present study, an aqueous solution of 100 mg/L of the test item revealed no aquatic toxicity in the test system. The 96h LC50 was > 100 mg/L and, thus, could not be determined in this study.
- Executive summary:
The acute toxicity of the test item to zebrafish Danio rerio was determined in a study according to OECD TG 203 and EU method C.1. For this purpose, 10 zebrafish per test group and control were exposed over a 96-h period under defined conditions. The study comprised of one control group and one test item group. A nominal test item concentration of 100 mg/L was prepared in reconstituted water. The zebrafish were observed for signs of toxicity and mortality for 96 hours. The analytical determination of the test item concentration was performed using HPLC with UV-detection. Samples were collected at the beginning of the test (0-h) and daily until the end of the exposure period (96-h). The limit of quantification (LOQ) of the analytical method was 0.01 mg/L. The measured concentrations of the control media were below LOD (0.003 mg/L) at all measuring time points while the measured concentrations of the test media with a nominal concentration of 100 mg/L were below LOD (0.003 mg/L) at 48 hours and below LOQ (0.01 mg/L) at 0, 24, 72 and 96 hours. The tested concentration could not be quantified. Therefore, the LC50 is based on the nominal concentration.
For the test material, the following LC50 values for zebrafish were determined:
24 h LC50 > 0.003 mg/L (nominal > 100 mg/L)
48 h LC50 > 0.003 mg/L (nominal > 100 mg/L)
72 h LC50 > 0.003 mg/L (nominal > 100 mg/L)
96 h LC50 > 0.003 mg/L (nominal > 100 mg/L)
No acute toxicity was observed at a nominal concentration of 100 mg/L, i.e. up to the maximum water solubility. The 96h LC50 was > 100 mg/L (nominal) and, thus, could not be determined in this study.

Additional information
The acute toxicity of the test item to zebrafish Danio rerio was determined in a study according to OECD TG 203 and EU method C.1. For this purpose, 10 zebrafish per test group and control were exposed over a 96-h period under defined conditions. The study comprised of one control group and one test item group. A nominal test item concentration of 100 mg/L was prepared in reconstituted water. The zebrafish were observed for signs of toxicity and mortality for 96 hours. The analytical determination of the test item concentration was performed using HPLC with UV-detection. Samples were collected at the beginning of the test (0-h) and daily until the end of the exposure period (96-h). The limit of quantification (LOQ) of the analytical method was 0.01 mg/L. The measured concentrations of the control media were below LOD (0.003 mg/L) at all measuring time points. The measured concentrations of the test media with a nominal concentration of 100 mg/L were below LOD (0.003 mg/L) at 48 hours and below LOQ (0.01 mg/L) at 0, 24, 72 and 96 hours. The tested concentration could not be quantified. Therefore, the LC50 is based on the nominal concentration.
For the test material, the following LC50 values for zebrafish were determined:
24 h LC50 > 0.003 mg/L (nominal > 100 mg/L)
48 h LC50 > 0.003 mg/L (nominal > 100 mg/L)
72 h LC50 > 0.003 mg/L (nominal > 100 mg/L)
96 h LC50 > 0.003 mg/L (nominal > 100 mg/L)
No acute toxicity was observed at a nominal concentration of 100 mg/L, i.e. up to the maximum water solubility. The 96h LC50 was > 100 mg/L (nominal) and, thus, could not be determined in this study.
