Key result

Duration:

96 h

Dose descriptor:

LC50

Effect conc.:

> 100 mg/L

Nominal / measured:

nominal

Conc. based on:

test mat.

Basis for effect:

mortality (fish)

Details on results:

- Effect concentrations exceeding solubility of substance in test medium: All concentrations tested were at or above the solubility limit of the pure test substance. To achive the exposure concentrations, solvent SPAN 60 was used.

Results with reference substance (positive control):

- Mortality of control:
0 % after 96 hours
0.5 mg/L: 0% (24h), 70% (48h), 90% (72h), 100%(96 h)
0.05 mg/L: no mortality observed during the study

Validity criteria fulfilled:

yes

Conclusions:

The LC50 of the test material with solubilizer is between 0.08 and 0.3 mg/L, which is clearly above the limit of water solubility.

Executive summary:

The acute toxicity of the test material was studied in a pretest for a bioaccumulation study (OECD 305) using solvents to increase exposure. The GLP test was performed according to the METI Guideline: Concentration Test on Chemical Substances in Fish.

To achive the exposure concentrations, solvent SPAN 60 was used. All concentrations tested were at or above the solubility limit of the pure test substance. For the test Brachydanio rerio (new name: Danio rerio) was used. The following concentrations have been applied: 0.05 and 0.5 mg/L

The test material does not possess acute toxic potential to fish up to the limit of solubility in water (< 0.058 mg/L). Using SPAN 60 as solubiliser, toxicity was observed at higher concentrations. The 96 hours LC50 is above the water solubility limit of the pure substance. With solubilizer the LC50 exceeds 100 mg/L (nominal).

The LC50 of the test material with solubilizer exceeds 100 mg/L (nominal), which is clearly above the limit of water solubility.
