- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- In a 96-h acute toxicity study according to OECD 203 with Danio rerio a 96-h LC50 of 5.9 mg/l was generated as the geometric mean of the highest concentration showing no lethal effect and the lowest concentration with 100% lethal effect. The test substance Aminoxide WS 35 is of moderate toxicity for freshwater fish.
- Executive summary:
In a 96-h acute toxicity study according to OECD 203, Danio rerio were exposed to AMINOXIDE WS 35 at nominal concentrations of 0 (control), 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 8.0, 10 mg test substance/l under semi-static conditions. The 96-h LC50was generated as the geometric mean of the highest concentration showing no lethal effect and the lowest concentration with 100% lethal effect and determined as 5.9 mg a.i./l (measured conc.). There was high loss of test substance under test conditions (renewal after 48h) observed. Therefore the biological results were based on measured concentrations.
This study is classified as reliable with no restriction and satisfies the guideline requirements for an acute toxicity study with fish.

Description of key information
One study (Teigeler, 2013), investigating the acute toxicity of the substance to fish according to OECD guideline 203, was considered as the key study for endpoint coverage. The 96h-LC50 based on measured geometric mean test concentrations was 0.68 a.i. mg/L with 95% confidence limits of 0.5-8 mg a.i./L. The study is given a Klimisch score of 1 and was conducted under GLP.

Additional information
Three studies provide information on the short-term toxicity of the substance to fish.
The study of Teigeler (2013) is selected as key study for endpoint coverage. The study was run according to OECD guideline 203 and EU guideline C.1. The 96h-LC50 based on measured geometric mean test concentrations was 0.68 mg a.i./L with 95% confidence limits of 0.5-8 mg a.i./L. The study is given a Klimisch score of 1 and was conducted under GLP.
Additionally, two other GLP studies were carried out according to OECD guideline 203 and are considered as supporting studies. The study of Kamp (1997) gave a 96h-LC50 of 2.06 mg a.i./L and was assigned a Klimisch score of 1, while the study of Wetton (2000) gave a 96h-LC50 of 0.75 mg a.i./L and was assigned a Klimisch score of 2.
