Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
The results of the 96-hour stat~c toxicity test with rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) exposed to the test substance showed that 24-, 48-, 72- and 96-hour LC 50 values for the test subtance are 0,21, 0.17, 0.15 and 0,14 mg/L, respectively. All results were based on the nominal concentrations of 0.018, 0.032, 0.056, 0.10, 0.18 and 0.32 mg/L. The 96-hour no-observed effect concentration was estimated to be 0.056 mg/L, based on the lack of mortality or observed abnormal (sub-lethal) effects.
