Description of key information

The following study was provided to fulfil the endpoint toxicity to aquatic algae and cyanobacteria:
Vryenhoef (2003). ALGAL INHIBITION TEST. Testing laboratory: SafePharm Laboratories Ltd, P. O. Box 45, Derby, DE1 2BT, United Kingdom. Report no.: 1194/033. Owner company: Nitto Kasei Co., Ltd. Report date: 2003-11-05.
In an Inhibition to algae study (Vryenhoef, 2003) the 72 hour EC50 was determined to be >2.0 mg/l for both growth rate and biomass. The 72 hour NOEC was determined to be 2.0 mg/l.
From the available data it is clear that neither the growth (r) or the biomass (b) of Scenedesmus subspicatus (CCAP 276/20) were affected by the presence of the test material over the 72-Hour exposure period.

Additional information

The key study, Vyrenhoef (2003), was conducted to GLP and in line with a recognised guideline (OECD Guideline No 201 (1984) "Alga, Growth Inhibition Test" referenced as EU Method C.3)and has been allocated a Klimisch score of 1. The study is considered to be the key study for this endpoint. The 72 hour EC50 was determined to be >2.0 mg/l for both growth rate and biomass. The 72 hour NOEC was determined to be 2.0 mg/l.
