Executive summary:

In the acute toxicity study in carp, each 7 fish were exposed for 96 hours to diluted solutions of TK 12576. Acetone was used as a solvent at 0.01% in the test medium. The concentration range tested was selected on the basis of results obtained in a range finder study. The LC50 after 96 hours of treatment was 4.2 mg/L with 0% mortality at 3.2 mg/L and 100% mortality at 5.6 mg/L.

Description of key information

Short term toxicity from three trophic levels (Daphnia, Fish and Algae) is available for the m-isomer and for two trophic levels (Fish and Algae) for the p-isomer substance. The most conservative end point will be taken for the short term toxicity to fish.

In a 96-hour acute toxicity study in carp by M. Bogers(1996) conducted on p-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)-N,N-bis(2,3-epoxypropyl)aniline. In the non-GLP study performed according to OECD Guideline 203 [1992] and EEC directive 92/69 Part C.1 [1992], an LC50 after 96 hours of treatment was derived as 4.2 mg/L with 0% mortality at 3.2 mg/L and 100% mortality at 5.6 mg/L.
