Reference
Endpoint:
long-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
1993-11-03 to 1993-11-24
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
comparable to guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: "Prolonged Toxicity Study with Daphnia magna: Effects on Reproduction" (proposal for an update of OECD guideline 202, Part II; Draft 6/5/1991)
Deviations:
no
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 211 (Daphnia magna Reproduction Test)
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
the light intensity was slightly too high (25 instead of max. 20 µE/m2*s). TOC/ COD was not determined. CSB was determined.
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Compared with OECD 211, adopted in 2008): the light intensity was slightly too high (25 instead of max. 20 µE/m2*s).
TOC/ COD was not determined.
CSB was determined.
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Analytical monitoring:
yes
Details on sampling:
The test concentrations were analysed at t= 0h at the start of the experiment (1993-11-03) and after 48h after start of the experiment.
After renewal of the medium at the third day (1993-11-05) of the experiment the test concentrations were analysed at t= 0h and after 72h after renewal of the medium.
