Details on results:

All reported results refer to geometric mean measured concentrations, since the test item concentrations were not within ± 20% of the nominal or measured initial concentrations during the test.

Results with reference substance (positive control):

EC50 after 24 hours was determined to be 1.48 mg test item/L, indicating that the sensitivity of the daphnids was consistent with the level proposed by the OECD 202 guideline (EC50-24 h between 0.6 and 2.1 mg potassium dichromate/L).

Reported statistics and error estimates:

The 24-hour and 48-hour EC50, EC20 and EC10 and the 95 % confidence limits were calculated by probit analysis. The NOEC and LOEC after 24 and 48 hours were determined directly from the raw data.
The software used to perform the statistical analysis was ToxRat Professional, Version 3.2.1, ToxRat Solutions GmbH.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:

yes

Conclusions:

The reliable (K1) OECD 202 Guideline study found that acute toxicity was observed in Daphnia magna resulting in a 48-hr EC50 of >81.8 mg/L. based on measured geometric mean.

Executive summary:

The reliable (K1) OECD 202 Guideline study found that acute toxicity was observed in Daphnia magna resulting in a 48-hr EC50 of >81.8 mg/L. based on measured geometric mean. Other endpoint results are as follows:

48h-NOEC = 81.8 mg/L
48h-LOEC = >81.8 mg/L
48h-EC₁₀= >81.8 mg/L
