Additional information

Acute immobilisation to Daphnia has been investigated over a 48 hour period. Entrapment on the surface occurred at higher concentrations, regarded as beyond the water solubility of the substance. The EC50 was > 0.022 mg/L and a NOEC of 0.0195 mg/L was established.

A second study reports an EC50 of 15 mg/L. This concentration is in excess of the normal water solubility of the substance and was obtained by the use of solubilising agents.
