* Chemical analysis of the old or expired test concentrations at 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours showed a marked decline of DAP in the test solution of up to 55% of the nominal value. Actual concentrations are calculated as time weighted mean measured concentrations.

Validity criteria fulfilled:

yes

Remarks:

Mortality in the control <10% at the end of the test; Constant conditions maintained; DOC > 60% of the ASV

Conclusions:

The acute toxicity of diallyl phthalate to the freshwater fish rainbow trout has been investigated and corresponded with a 96h-LC50 value of 0.24 mg/l with 95% CL of 0.18-0.32 mg/l based on nominal concentrations. The acute toxicity based on mean measured concentrations corresponded with an LC50 value of 0.23 mg/l with 95% CL of 0.18-0.30 mg/l. The highest concentration inducing no mortality or other visible abnormalities was 0.18 mg/l (LC0). These results were not significantly different to those based on nominal test concentrations.

Description of key information

Key information is based on a GLP study with rainbow trout performed according to OECD guideline 203 in 2003. Analytical confirmation of test concentrations is included. Validity criteria concerning mortality in the control group and test conditions were met. Key information is based on a GLP study with rainbow trout performed according to OECD guideline 203 in 2003.
