Description of key information

Key data (lowest EC50 values) are: 
-for Ceriodapnia dubia: 0.413 mg Zn/l (single value) at low pH and low hardness
-for Ceriodapnia dubia: >0.53 mg Zn/l (single value) at low pH and high hardness
-for Ceriodapnia dubia: 0.147 mg Zn/l (geomean value) at neutral/high pH and low hardness
-for Ceriodapnia dubia: 0.228 mg Zn/l (geomean value) at neutral/high pH and high hardness

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Many good quality and relevant data for 5 standard species. Tests were done according to standard protocol or equivalent.

Data are grouped per species according to

-pH: low (6 -<7) - neutral/high (7 -8.5)

-and hardness: low/medium (<100mg CaCO3/l) and medium/high (>100 mg CaCO3/l).

Ceriodaphnia dubia is for all test conditions the most sensitive species.
