Study design

Test type:
static
Water media type:
freshwater
Limit test:
yes
Total exposure duration:
72 h

Test conditions

Test temperature:
23.8°C
pH:
pH at beginning: 8.35
pH-48h: 10.15
Nominal and measured concentrations:
The nominal concentration of 100 mg/L was determined according to a range-finding test.
The concentrations of the test item were satisfactorily maintained within ± 20% of the nominal concentrations throughout the test, the results can therefore be based on nominal values.
Reference substance (positive control):
not required
