Reported statistics and error estimates:

Data were analysed using Minitab software. Data were analysed for normality and homogeneity of variance before appropriate procedures were applied to test for significant differencesbetween control and exposure concentrations.

Validity criteria fulfilled:

yes

Conclusions:

The overall No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC), of the test substance was 1.9 mg/L.
