Duration:
48 h
Dose descriptor:
EC50
Effect conc.:
> 100 mg/L
Nominal / measured:
nominal
Conc. based on:
test mat.
Basis for effect:
mobility
Details on results:
Only one animal was found to be immobilised at the concentration of 100 mg/L, while no immobilisation was reported at 0 and 10 mg/L concentrations.
Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
The EC50 of the test substance was determined to be >100 mg/L.
Executive summary:

The acute toxicity of the test substance to daphnia was investigated in a study conducted according to OECD Guideline 202. Three groups each containing 10 daphnids, were exposed to the test concentrations of 0, 10 and 100 mg/L for 48 hours and observed for immobilisation. The observations were recorded at 24 and 48 hours during the exposure. Only one animal was found to be immobilised at the concentration of 100 mg/L, while no immobilisation was reported at 0 and 10 mg/L concentrations. Hence, based on the observations the EC50 of the test substance was determined to be >100 mg/L.
