Description of key information

Pimephales promelas: 96-h LC50 = 5.19 mg/L (similar to OECD 203; Geiger et al., 1988)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Fresh water fish

Fresh water fish
Effect concentration:
5.19 mg/L

Additional information

Results are available for several species. The lowest reliable effect value was determined by Geiger et al. (1988). The test concentrations were analytically verified in this study, while the results of the other studies are based on nominal concentrations.
