Additional information

The acute toxicity of tetramethylthiuram monosulphide to Daphnia magna was assessed through several studies for which the followings EC50-48h were determined:

  • EC50-48h: 2.9 mg/L 
  • EC50-48h: 1.6 mg/L

The last data is mentioned in the HPV dossier Thiuram, but as the study belongs to another company, the tox data is considered as supporting data. Thus, the "key data" is EC50-48h = 2.9 mg/L
