Executive summary:

The toxicity of„KORE grade V“towards algae was testedaccording to OECD-Guideline No. 201, in the Version dated 23-March 2006. The toxic effect was in­vestigated by determination of the inhibition of the growth rate of the algae and the yield during the exposure period of 72 h. As the test item is partially poorly water-soluble, it was tested using aqueous extracts (“WAFs”) from up to 1000 mg test item/L (final concentration). The main test was performed using “WAFs” from 0.5 to 8 mg/L of the test item. As a conclusion of the analytical part of this study, recoveries of the concentrations determined after 72h were not all at ≥ 80% of those determined at time t0, and furthermore,the measured concentrations of the treatments deviated more than 20 % from the nominal values. Based on this, the reported effect concentrations refer to mean measured concentrations (geometric mean) of the measured concentrations.

 

From the results of the main test, toxic effects were determined with the following values:
