(Q)SAR
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Internationally accepted method, ECOSAR, EPA (USA)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
QSAR calculation by ECOSAR v1.00a, EPA, USA (attached QSAR Prediction Reporting Format, QPRF)
GLP compliance:
no
Duration:
96 h
Dose descriptor:

mortality (fish)
Remarks on result:
other: The estimated 96-h LC50 for fish is 0.199 mg/l (ECOSAR v1.00a, phenols class).
Validity criteria fulfilled:
not applicable
Conclusions:
The estimated 96-h LC50 for fish is 0.199 mg/l (ECOSAR v1.00a, phenols class).
Executive summary:

The estimated 96-h LC50 for fish is 0.199 mg/l (ECOSAR v1.00a, phenols class).

Endpoint:
short-term toxicity to fish
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
supporting study
Study period:
1999
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study without detailed documentation
Remarks:
The tests was conducted based on OECD-GLP standard and OECD test guidelines. However, the Ministry of the Environment of Japan suggest confirmation of the results since the test was conducted in 1999 and some of the tests conducted before 2002 were performed using a dispersant.
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 203 (Fish, Acute Toxicity Test)
Deviations:
not specified
GLP compliance:
yes
Analytical monitoring:
not specified
Vehicle:
not specified
Remarks:
The Ministry of the Environment in Japan suggest confirmation of results when considering the year of the test; it is possible that it was conducted with a dispersant.
