Additional information

This study is read across to Phenol, isopropylated, phosphate (3:1); CAS No 68937-41-7; EC No 273-066-3.

Midges (Chironomus riparius) were exposed for 28 days to five mean measured concentrations of sediment-incorporated Reofos 35 ranging from 37 to 688 mg/kg. There were treatment-related effects observed on emergence in the 79, 187, 366 and 688 mg/kg treatment groups and development at all tested concentrations. Based on the mean measured concentrations in sediment, the 28-day EC50 value for emergence was 87 mg/kg, with a 95% confidence interval of 73.6 to 102 mg/kg. The slope of the concentration-response curve was 2.336. Based on the effects observed on development rate, the LOEC for the study was 37 mg/kg and the NOEC was <37 mg/kg.
