Additional information
Aquatic toxicity of perchlorate has been extensively reviewed. In the present dossier are presented the main studies available from registrant side. A more in depth analysis is also provided in the attached position paper which reviewed available literature and which allowed determination of a relevant PNEC aquatic for perchlorate.
· Short-term toxicity to freshwater fish: The median lethal concentration of Ammonium Perchlorate to Oncorhynchus mykiss was found to be >200 mg/L (>169.3 mg/L as perchlorate ion) under the test conditions.
· Long-term toxicity to freshwater fish: The NOEC-12 wk of Ammonium Perchlorate to Danio rerio was found to be 11.48 mg/L (9.7 mg/Las perchlorate ion) under the test conditions.
· Short-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates: The toxic effect of Ammonium Perchlorate to Daphnia magna was assessed in the static dose-response test and it was concluded that the 48 hour EC50 value was >341 mg/L (288.6 mg/L as perchlorate ion).
· Long-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates: The NOEC-6d of Ammonium Perchlorate to Ceriodaphnia dubia was assessed in the semi-static dose-response test and it was concluded that the NOEC-7d value was 12 mg/L (10.2 mg/L as perchlorate ion).
· Toxicity to aquatic algae and cyanobacteria: The growth inhibition study of freshwater algae Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata found that the EC10 of Ammonium Perchlorate was 42.2 mg/L (35.7 mg/L as perchlorate ion). The EC50 of Ammonium Perchlorate was > 505 mg/L (427.4 mg/L as perchklorate ion) based on average specific growth rate and 245.6 mg/L based on yield (207.9 as perchlorate ion).
Toxicity to amphibians: The NOEC of the perchlorate ion (geometric mean of the results of 3 laboratories for which iodide concentration data were relevant and reported) for growth and development was calculated to be 215 µg/L.
· Toxicity to microorganisms (sludge inhibition test): At the highest concentration tested (1 g/L) ammonium perchlorate did not inhibit sludges respiration after 30 minutes of exposure. The 3-hour EC50 of the test item Perchlorate d’ammonium for activated sludge respiration inhibition was > 1000 mg/L. The highest test item concentration without significant effect on the respiration was >= 1000 mg/L 846.4 mg/L as perchlorate ion).
