Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The bioconcentration value for the Ceriodaphnia dubia was found to be (> 0 to < 5000) value when treated with Sulfuric acid, Mercury (2+) salt (1:1) (7783-35-9).
Executive summary:

The bioconcentration test was performed on Ceriodaphnia dubia when treated with Mercury (2+) salt (1:1). Adults were used and two treatments were given as glyphosate was mixed with203Hg (0.71 nM) in the

diluent water for 30 min in a polypropylene beaker. Another only metal solution was stir for 30 minutes. After 4 hours of exposure Ceriodaphnia dubia were collected and check for radioactivity.

From the above experiment it was found that the bioconcentration value for the Ceriodaphnia dubia was found to be (> 0 to < 5000) value when treated with Sulfuric acid, Mercury (2+) salt (1:1) (7783-35-9).
