Description of key information

Two acute fish studies exist for this test substance, the first an in vivo study following an ISO norm which featured certain drawbacks, notably the use of ultraturrax for 10 seconds to mix the test susbtance followed by immediate testing and the use of DOC rather than specific substance anslysis in order to determine test solution concentrations. Due to this it could not be confirmed that the maximum nominal concentration was attained or the true concentrations tested. Based on this information a calculation was used to transform DOC into equivalent test substance concentrations in order to improve the estimation of the LC50. Using the geometric mean of the 100% and 0% mortality concentrations, the 96 h LC50 result reduced from 172 mg/L based on nominal to 1.95 mg/L based on measured, transformed DOC values.

As this study was not considered strictly valid due to analytical limitations a QSAR model was also included. The test substance is within the applicability domain of this model and the QMRF and QPRF included in the RS. The 96 h LC50 was calculated at 1.7 mg/L, very close to the LC50 calculated from the in vivo fish study. On this basis, the results are considered accurate and the 96 LC50 of 1.7 mg/L will be used for C&L and risk assessment purposes.
