Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
The NOEC for algae was 3.1 mg/L (active ingredient), and the LOEC was 10 mg/L (active ingredient).
Executive summary:

Chlorella kessleri algae was exposed to concentrations of 0, 0.01, 0.03, 0.1, 0.3, 1, 3, 10, 30, 100, 300, and 1000 mg/L (nominal) of test substance for 15 days. The number of cells were counted to determine the toxicity of the test substance. The NOEC was 3.1 mg/L active ingredient, and the LOEC was 10 mg/L active ingredient. The data are for C11.6 LAS and no normalization is required.
