Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
not specified
Conclusions:
The EC50 (24 h) of the substance to Daphnia magna was determined to be 0.57 mg/L.
Executive summary:

The 24–hr-acute toxicity of the test item to Daphnia magna was studied at nominal concentrations of 0.32, 1.0, 3.2, 10, 31.6 and 100 mg/L. Test conditions were similar to the standard test guideline EU Method C.2 (Acute toxicity for Daphnia). The 24– hour EC50was determined to be 0.57 mg/L.
