Description of key information

The 48-h EC50 value is 277 mg/L in aquatic invertebrates (D. magna).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The acute toxicity to aquatic invertebrates was determined in a study according to Directive 79/831/EEC, Annex V, Part C. In this study daphnids (D. magna, 20 per concentration) were exposed to nominal concentrations of 0, 31.25, 62.5, 125, 250 and 500 mg/L for 48 hours under static conditions. Immobilization was recorded after 24 and 48 hours exposure. At a test concentration of 125 and 500 mg/L cumulative mortality was 0% and 100%, respectively. Based on these findings the 48-h EC50 value was determined at 277 mg/L.
