Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
not applicable
Remarks:
no validity criteria available
Conclusions:
The LC50 (96 h) on xenopus embryos is 26.3 mg/L.
Executive summary:

An acute toxicity test of quinoline on embryos of Xenopus laevis has been determined after exposure for 96 h to different concentrations.

The teratogenic effetcs were also recorded.

The LC50 (96h) is 26.3 mg/L.
