Validity criteria fulfilled:

not specified

Conclusions:

1: Based on the mortality of freshwater fish Brachydanio rerio by the chemical exposure for 96 hrs, the LC50 was determine to be 17.6 mg/l and the LC0 and LC100 was 11.3 mg/l and 26.2 mg/l.
2: Based on the mortality of fishes Pimephales promelas after the exposure of chemical for 96 hrs, the LC50 was determine to be 18.9 mg/l.
Thus based on the above both studies, chemical consider to be toxic and classified as aquatic chronic 3 as per the CLP classification criteria.

Executive summary:

Data available for the test chemicals has been reviewed to determine its effect on the mortality of fishes. The studies are as mentioned below:

 

Aim of this study was to determine the nature of chemical on the mortality of freshwater fish Brachydanio rerio for total exposure of 96 hrs. Chemical was analytically monetarized by GC. Test conducted under static system. After incubation period of 96 hrs, slow and inactive swimming behaviour and loss of equilibrium (uncontrolled movements) were also observed. Based on the mortality of freshwater fish Brachydanio rerio by the chemical exposure for 96 hrs, the LC50 was determine to be 17.6 mg/l and the LC0 and LC100 was 11.3 mg/l and 26.2 mg/l. Based on the LC50, chemical was consider as toxic and classified in aquatic chronic 3 category as per the CLP classification criteria.

 

Similar study was also conducted on other fish. Aim of this study was to determine the nature of chemical on the mortality of fish Pimephales promelas for total exposure of 96 hrs. Study was conducted comparable to standard method and in accordance with general accepted scientific standards. Nominal 5 concentrations in the range of 4.39 to 24.6 mg/l were used and the sample was analytically monetarized by GC method. 0.079 g 30 days old Pimephales promelas (Fathead Minnow) were used. Test conducted under the flow- through system. Observations of fish behaviour and body morphology at regular intervals. Affected fish lost schooling behavior, were hypoactive and underreactive to external stimuli. They had increased respiration were darkly colored and lost equilibrium prior to death. Based on the mortality of fishes Pimephales promelas after the exposure of chemical for 96 hrs, the LC50 was determine to be 18.9 mg/l. based on the LC50, chemical was consider as toxic and classified as aquatic chronic 3 category as per the CLP classification criteria.

Thus based on the above both studies, chemical consider to be toxic and classified as aquatic chronic 3 as per the CLP classification criteria.

Based on the LC50, chemical was consider as toxic and can be consider to to be classfied as aquatic chronic 3 category as per the CLP classification criteria.

 

Similar study was also conducted on other fish. Study was to determine the nature of chemical on the mortality of fish Pimephales promelas for total exposure of 96 hrs. Study was conducted comparable to standard method and in accordance with general accepted scientific standards.

Based on the mortality of fishes Pimephales promelas after the exposure of chemical for 96 hrs, the LC50 was determine to be 18.9 mg/l. based on the LC50, chemical was consider as toxic and can be consider to not classified as aquatic chronic 3 category as per the CLP classification criteria.

Thus based on the above both studies, chemical consider to be toxic and classified as aquatic chronic 3 as per the CLP classification criteria.
