rem. new = fresh solution
     old = expired solution
     mean = time-weighted mean during 21 days
As the half-life of this substance in water is 56.7 h at 25 °C and pH 7  (See section 3.1.2), almost all measured concentrations were much lower  than the nominal ones. Therefore, time-weighted mean measured values were  used for calculations.

EFFECTS
21day LC50 = 17.4 mg/l (95% confidendential: 8.8-1315 mg/l)
21day EC50 = 15.8 mg/l (95% confidendential: 13.6-19.4 mg/l)
21day NOEC = 7.6 mg/l
21day LOEC = 13.3 mg/l
