Additional information

Methanol and ethanol are well characterised in the public domain literature and are not hazardous at the concentrations relevant to the studies; the short-term EC50and LC50 values for these substances are in excess of 1000 mg/L (OECD 2004a - SIDS for methanol, CAS 67-56-1, OECD 2004b - SIDS for ethanol, CAS 64-17-5). Therefore, at the loading rates experienced in these tests it is unlikely that the presence of either would significantly affect the results of the tests.
