Short-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates

Link to relevant study record(s)

Reference

Endpoint:

short-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates

Data waiving:

study scientifically not necessary / other information available

Justification for data waiving:

the study does not need to be conducted because a long-term aquatic toxicity study on invertebrates is available

other:

Reason / purpose for cross-reference:

reference to other study

Description of key information

The EC₅₀ for freshwater invertebrates (Daphnia magna) was described as 38.8 mg/L based on active ingredient.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Fresh water invertebrates

Fresh water invertebrates

Effect concentration:

38.8 mg/L

Additional information

A short-term study was not conducted because in a long-term aquatic toxicity study on invertebrates according to OECD guideline 211, an EC₅₀ was described also. The EC₅₀ was determined to be 83 mg/L which refers to 38.8 mg/L test item based on active ingredient.
