Tests conducted before FY 2002 needs confirmation of test results, because some of these tests were conducted using a dispersant.

Validity criteria fulfilled:
not specified
Conclusions:
In a Long-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates study for Chloral hydrate in Daphnia magna when they were exposed for 21 days under semi -static condition, the Median lethal concentration LC50 was found to be >96.2mg/l at inhibition in breeding effect, whereas effect concentration (EC50) were found to be 65 mg/l based on inhibition in breeding (at 95% confidence limit is 53.8 to 81.9 mg/l) while low effect concentration (LOEC) on the cumulative survival production litter size was found to be 23.6 mg/l. And NOEC was found to be 11.5 mg/l based on survival and litter size.
Executive summary:

In a Long-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates study for Chloral hydrate in Daphnia magna when they were exposed for 21 days under semi -static condition, the Median lethal concentration LC50 was found to be >96.2mg/l at inhibition in breeding effect, whereas effect concentration (EC50) were found to be 65 mg/l based on inhibition in breeding (at 95% confidence limit is 53.8 to 81.9 mg/l) while low effect concentration (LOEC) on the cumulative survival production litter size was found to be 23.6 mg/l. And NOEC was found to be 11.5 mg/l based on survival and litter size.

Considering the NOEC value it is concluded that the test substance Cloral hydrate does not considered for long term aquatic toxicity.
