Results with reference substance (positive control):
Acute immobilization of daphnia after 24 h an 48 h was performed with potassium dichromate in concentrations of 0, 0.1, 0.18, 0.32, 0.56, 1.0 and
1.8 mg/L. An 48h EC50 value of 0.47 mg/L was determined

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
The substance does not induce acute immobilization to daphnia with the saturated solution. ( filtrate of 100 mg/L test item (15.8 mg/L measured))
Executive summary:

The substance was tested for acute immobilization to Daphnia magna according to OECD guideline 202.

In the test the daphnia were exposed for 48 hours to 50 and 100 % (v/v) of a rough filtrate prepared from a suspension with 100 mg/L of the test item.. The test was performed in duplicate with 10 daphnia per vessel.

The substance did not induce acute immobilization of Daphnia magna at a supersaturated solution of the test item (100 mg/L nominal, 15.8 mg/L measured).
