Additional information

In 2008, an acute toxicity study of DMDS to Duckweed (Lemna gibba G3) was carried out by Minderhout T, Kendall TZ and Krueger HO according to OECD Guideline 221, EPA OPPTS 850.4400 and GLP requirements. Based on the results of this study, EC 50 - 7d determined, based on frond number, was of 31 mg a.i./L. NOAEC - 7h was of 5.5 mg a.i./L and LOEC was of 12 mg a.i./L. EC 50 - 7h, based on biomass, was of 46 mg a.i./L, EC50 - 7d, based on growth rate and frond number, was of 36 mg a.i./L, and EC50 - 7d, based on growth rate and biomass, was of 75 mg a.i./L.
