Description of key information

EC50(48h) > 130 mg/L (nominal, active ingredient) for Daphnia magna (OECD 202)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

One study investigating the short-term toxicity of the test substance to aquatic invertebrates is available. The study was performed according to EU method C.2 using Daphnia magna as test organism (BASF 1989). Up to the highest test concentration of 500 mg product/L (= 130 mg a.i./L) no effects were observed. Thus, the 48h-EC50 is determeined to be > 130 mg a.i./L based on nominal concentrations.
