Link to relevant study record(s)

Reference

Endpoint:

long-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Reliability:

2 (reliable with restrictions)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

other: Data is from peer reviewed journal

Justification for type of information:

Data is from peer reviewed journal

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

OECD Guideline 211 (Daphnia magna Reproduction Test)

Principles of method if other than guideline:

21 d reproduction study performed according to OECD guideline 211.

GLP compliance:

not specified

Analytical monitoring:

not specified

Vehicle:

not specified

Test organisms (species):

Daphnia magna

Test type:

not specified

Water media type:

freshwater

Total exposure duration:

21 d

Nominal and measured concentrations:

five concentrations ranging between 0.128–5 mg/L

Details on test conditions:

Renewal of medium took place every 48 h, and the offsprings produced by each parent animal were counted daily.

Duration:

21 d

Dose descriptor:

NOEC

Effect conc.:

0.128 - 5 mg/L

Nominal / measured:

meas. (not specified)

Conc. based on:

test mat.

Basis for effect:

reproduction

Details on results:

No adverse effects on either the number or sex of offsprings,or body size were observed after exposure to five concentrations of the test substance (0.128–5 mg/L).

Conclusions:

Long term toxicity (21 d) value of test material to Daphnia magna resulted in a no observed effect concentration ( NOEC) ranging between 0.128–5 mg/L.

Executive summary:

21 d reproduction study performed according to OECD guideline 211. Renewal of medium took place every 48 h, and the offsprings produced by each parent animal were counted daily. The exposure concentration was in the range of a tenth of the acute toxicity value. No adverse effects on either the number or sex of offsprings, or body size were observed after exposure to five concentrations each .Long term toxicity (21 d) value of sulisobenzone (benzophenone-4) to Daphnia magna resulted in a no observed effect concentration ( NOEC) ranging between 0.128–5 mg/L. Based on the above effect concentration it is considered to be non - hazardous to aquatic environment and can not be classified as per CLP criteria .
