Description of key information

Four short-term toxicity to fish tests with three different species are available.

The tests with salmo gairdneri shows a 96 h-LC50between 130 and 136 mg/L. The 96 h- LC50on Cyprinus carpio was found to be 142 mg/L. The 48 h LC0on Leuciscus idus was found to be between 218 and 282 mg/L.

All results are above 100 mg/L and therefore it can be concluded that the registered substance is not toxic to fish.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
