Key result
Duration:
72 h
Dose descriptor:
EC50
Effect conc.:
> 100 mg/L
Nominal / measured:
meas. (not specified)
Conc. based on:
test mat.
Basis for effect:
cell number
Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
At a limit concentration of 100 mg/L, SP02 was not observed to affect the growth rate of Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata. The NOEC is therefore 100 mg/L.
Executive summary:

At a limit concentration of 100 mg/L, SP02 was not observed to affect the growth rate of Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata. The NOEC is therefore 100 mg/L.

Description of key information

At a limit concentration of 100 mg/L, SP02 was not observed to affect the growth rate of Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata. The NOEC is therefore 100 mg/L.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

EC10 or NOEC for freshwater algae:
100 mg/L
