Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
not specified
Conclusions:
Analysis of the growth and growth rate of the algal population within the 72 h exposure period give the following results:
EbC 50 (0-72 h) > 100 mg/L
ErC 50 (0-72 h) > 100 mg/L

At the highest concentration of 100 mg/L growth rate was inhibited by 3.1 % compared to the control. Inhibition of biomass integral was 9.8 %.
