Description of key information

Good quality and relevant acute toxicity data are available for 29 invertebrate species. After checking and updating the data base, the data are normalized towards pH 6 and 8 and towards realistic worst-case conditions for DOC (2 mg/L) and a water hardness of 40 mg Ca/L. If several data points were available on a same species, the geomean of the normalized values was calculated and used for the analysis.


Key data (lowest geomean EC50 values) are: 
- pH 6: 0.154 mg Zn/L for Daphnia magna (0.345 mg Zn/L for Cerodaphnia dubia)
- pH 8: 0.095 mg Zn/L for Daphnia magna (0.182 mg Zn/L for Cerodaphnia dubia)

Key value for chemical safety assessment
