Key value for chemical safety assessment

Fresh water invertebrates

Fresh water invertebrates
Effect concentration:
0.18 mg/L

Additional information

Regarding short-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates several species have been tested. All tests resulting in EC50 or LC50 between 0.18 mg/L (Mysid shrimp, Mayer et al., 1981) and 2.41 mg/L (Daphnia magna, MITI, 2000) after 96 h and 48 h respectively.

Also a 72 h study has been performed on golden apple snail resulting in LC50 = 38.2 mg/L.
