Basis for effect:
other: none of the evaluated endpoints was affected by the compound
Details on results:
Endpoints studied: Hatchability of eggs of the rainbow trout, Percentage survival of the fry, growth and growht rate of the fry (both as length and as weight), morphology and behavioural aspects.
Results with reference substance (positive control):
not applicable

no data
Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
In an early life stage test over a period of 60 days rainbow trout was not affected by DBPP up to a concentration of 0.11 mg/L.
Executive summary:

An early life stage test was carried out with the aim of establishing a Maximum Acceptable Toxicant Concentration (MATC) for rainbow trout exposed to DBPP. The MATC is considered to be the concentration that an organism can be exposed to without any negative effects. The endpoints studied were: Hatchability of eggs of the rainbow trout, Percentage survival of the fry, growth and growth rate of the fry (both as length and as weight), morphology and behavioural aspects.

It showed that up to the maximum concentration of 0.11 mg/L none of the endpoints were affected by DBPP. Therefore, it is concluded that the MATC > 0.11 mg/L.

Description of key information

One, well performed study (K2) was carried out with Rainbow trout. In this ELS-test the fish were exposed for 60 days with the aim to find a Maximum Allowable Tolerance Concentration, based on the evaluation of hatchability of eggs, percentage survival of the fry, growth and growth rate of the fry (both as length and as weight), morphology and behavioural aspects (Boudreau and McAllister, 1980). Based on this study it could be concluded that the NOEC was above 0.11 mg/L.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Fresh water fish

Fresh water fish
Effect concentration:
0.11 mg/L

Additional information

The Early Life Stage test (60-day) (Boudreau and McAllister, 1980) evaluated different endpoints (hatchability of the eggs, percentage survival of the fry, growth and growth rate of the fry, morphology and behavioural aspects). In this test a Maximum Tolerance Concentration of 0.11 mg/L was established, indicative of the fact that no effects were observed for any of the endpoints at any of the concentrations tested. Therefore, it could be concluded that the NOEC for this test was above 0.11 mg/L.
