Details on test solutions:
Definitive study concentration: following the initial range-finding study the concentrations of definitive study were: 1.0, 1.8, 3.2, 5.6, 10, 18, 32, 56 and 100 mg/L.
Preparation of definitive study solution: 25 mL of each of solutions a-d were added to each litre (final volume) of deionised water pH equal to 7.8 ± 0.2 adjusted (if necessary) with NaOH or HCI.
The reconstituted water was aerated until the dissolved oxygen concentration was approximately air-saturation value.
The reconstituted water has an approximate theoretical total hardness of 270 mg/L as CaCO3.

Conclusions:
For test item, the EC 50 at 48h is16 mg/L.
Executive summary:

The study was performed to assess the acute toxicity effect of test item to Daphnia magna according to the OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals No. 202 (1984).

For test item, EC50 at 24h is 24 mg/L, 95% Confidence limits is 18 to 32 mg/L; EC 50 at 48h is 16 mg/L, 95% Confidence limits is 14 to 19 mg/L; No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC) at 24h is 18 mg/L; No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC) at 48h is 10 mg/L. The No Observed Effect Concentration is based upon zero immobilization at this test concentration.
