Test solutions

Vehicle:
no
Details on test solutions:
A direct weighing was prepared to give the desired test concentration. 500.5 mg of the test item were added to 5 litres of dilution water (adjusted to pH 6), treated for one hour in an ultrasonic bath and stirred for 24 h on a magnetic stirrer. Undissolved particles of the test item were removed by filtration using a folded filter of the pore size 7-12 μm. The pH was measured to be 7.0 and was re-adjusted to 6.0.
The concentration of the test item was determined analytically by ICP-MS. Finally 7 fish were given to the test item concentration and the control.
