Executive summary:

The acute toxicity to algae (Pseudokircheneriella subcapitata) was determined acoording OECD TG 201'Algal growth inhibition Test' and

Pseudokircheneriella subcapitata has been exposed to a range of concentrations (0.05, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 2.5, 5.0 mg/L). After an exposure of

72 hours an EC50 of 0.48 mg/L and an EbC50 of 0.18 mg/L was determined. A NOEC of 0.10 mg/L and a NOEbC value of <0.05 mg/L were calculated for 1,8-napthylenediamine.
