Basis for effect:
growth rate

Any other information on results incl. tables

No inhibition of cell growth or reduction of growth rate was recorded at the maximum soluble test substance concentration in test medium, corresponding to 0.045 -0.080 mg/L (NOEC). Hence, the EC50 for inhibition of algal cell growth and reduction of growth rate exceeded the maximum solubility limit in the test medium. Due to the limited solubility of the test substance in water, concentration levels that might be toxic for algae could not be reached.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
Based on the results of the study report, the test substance will not be classified with respect to possible harm for aquatic organisms according to the EEC-directive 98/98. IC50 > 100mg/L
Executive summary:

Based on the results of the study report, the test substance will not be classified with respect to possible harm for aquatic organisms according to the EEC-directive 98/98. IC50 > 100mg/L
