Description of key information

(33 d) NOELR for freshwater fish (Pimephales promelas ): ≥100 mg/l  [OECD 210; test mat. 'Kerosine (Fischer-Tropsch), full range, C8-16 branched and linear' (WAFs) (nominal) based on: survival and reproduction]

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

A Fish Early Life Stage study has been conducted with the freshwater speciesPimephales promelas(Fathead minnow) with GTL Kerosine. The test was conducted in accordance with OECD 210 and was compliant with GLP.

Newly laid eggs were exposed to water accommodated fractions (WAFs) of the test material over a range of nominal loading rates of 10, 32 and 100 mg/l for a period of 33 days at a temperature of 25°C ± 2°C under semi-static test conditions. The test was conducted using completely full test vessels which were covered to minimise any potential for volatile losses. Total Organic Carbon (TOC) analysis showed no measureable difference in the amount of carbon present between test solutions prepared at 10, 32 and 100 mg/l loading rate WAF test vessels when compared to the control vessels.

The test item had no effect on the survival or growth of newly laid eggs of fathead minnows.

The “Lowest Observed Effect Loading Rate” (LOELR), based on nominal loading rates, was considered to be greater than 100 mg/l loading rate WAF on the basis that there were no significant decreases (P≥0.05) in terms of fish length and dry weight when compared to the control at the end of the test.

The “No Observed Effect Loading Rate” (NOELR), based on nominal loading rates, was considered to be at least 100 mg/l loading rate WAF on the basis that there were no significant decreases (P≥0.05) in terms of fish length and dry weight when compared to the control at the end of the test.

The following information is taken into account for long-term toxicity to fish: (33-d) NOELR ≥100 mg/lP. promelas (Reliability 1).

Value used for CSA: NOELR for freshwater fish: 100 mg/l.
