not specified

Results and discussion

Effect concentrations
Duration:
96 h
Dose descriptor:
LC50
Effect conc.:
> 1 000 mg/L
Nominal / measured:
nominal
Conc. based on:
test mat.
Basis for effect:
mortality (fish)
Details on results:
BIOLOGICAL RESULTS
No mortality in the control and the only test concentration of 1000 mg/L. 3 hours after the start of the test all fishes in the test concentration showed different behavior. Symptoms were reversible within the next 3 hours.

ANALYTICAL RESULTS
Concentration < LOD (1.1 mg/L)
Tin tetrachloride precipitated after hydrolysis as Tin(IV)oxide and sedimented

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
Tin tetrachloride did not induce acute toxic effects in Brachydanio rerio at a concentration of 1000 mg/L.
Executive summary:

The effects of Tin tetrachloride on Brachydanio rerio were investigated in an acute fish toxicity test with static desing at a limit dose of 1000 mg/L according to OECD 201 under GLP. The control was valid. Tin tetrachloride did not induce acute toxic effects in Brachydanio rerio at a concentration of 1000 mg/L.
