Description of key information
The key value for the acute toxicity to fish was derived from a study performed according to the EPA guideline Ecol. Res. Series 660/3-75-009 (Methods for acute toxicity tests with fish, macroinvertebrates and amphibians, 1975). An LC50 value of 0.36 mg/L was found for fathead minnow (P. promelas) after an exposure of 96 hours in a static test.

Additional information
Multiple 96-h LC50 values were available for different fish species and varied from 0.13 mg/L for rainbow trout to 0.51 mg/L for bluegill. Both extremes of this range originate from the same study (EG&G Bionomics, 1977, BN-76 -264) which was found unreliable due to insufficient documentation of the test design. This rationale also accounts for the results obtained from an almost identical study (EG&G Bionomics, 1977, BN-76-265), but performed with Santonox R crystals in stead of Santowhite crystals. The only reliable study provided an LC50 value equal to 0.36 mg/L, for fathead minnow. Although this result is slightly less protective compared to the most sensitive outcome, the LC50 of 0.36 mg/L was selected as key value because the study was performed according to GLP and an internationally accepted guideline and nicely falls within the range of observed values.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
