- yes
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the present study CN-nitcal did not induce acute immobilisation of Daphnia magna at 100 mg/l after 48 hours of exposure (NOEC).
The 48-EC50 based on nominal concentrations exceeded 100 mg/l, the regulatory concentration.

Additional information
A study was performed according to OECD 202, EC C.2 guidelines with daphnia magna exposed to nitric acid, ammonium calcium salt, showing an 48 -hr EC50 of >100 mg/L. No effects on mobility of daphnids were observed in any of the concentrations tested.
Samples were taken for analytical measurement, but it was decided not to include analytical confirmation of actual exposure concentrations. Possible analyses could be based on Calcium, Ammonium and/or Nitrate. However, analysis of actual exposure concentrations was not performed as the test substance consisted of inorganic salts, which are partly present in the test medium (Calcium and Ammonium) or could only be analysed by a non-specific spectrophotometric analytical method (Nitrate). Results were based on nominal concentrations and as the test substance was well soluble and the inorganic salts present in the test substance are all known to be stable in aquatic media.
