Key value for chemical safety assessment
Fresh water invertebrates
Fresh water invertebrates
- Effect concentration:
- 120 mg/L
Additional information
The acute toxicity of the test substance on Daphnia magna was investigated in a GLP guideline study according to OECD 202. In this limit test, no toxic effects on the test organisms were observable at an analytically verified concentration of 120 mg/L (BASF SE 50E0861/11X413, 2012). Hence, the test substance is not considered to be acutely harmful to aquatic invertebrates.
