Details on sampling:

- Concentrations: nominal
- Sampling method:
- Sample storage conditions before analysis:
- Concentrations: The test substance was weighed, directly mixed into the test system and stirred for 24 hours using an ultraturrax. Afterwards, the test water was clear without oily drops on the water surface (main test 1) or with oily drops on the water surface (maintest 2). In main test 2, approximatly one liter of the test system including the oily drops were removed afterv 3.5 hours, treated by an ultraturrax and transferred back to the test system. Accordingl, the study duration was adapted, i.e. study start was postponed by 3.5 hours.

Conclusions:

In a valid, reliable and conclusive study according to EU method C1 (1992), the test substance Sandalice resulted to the following values for acute fish toxicity after 96 hours of exposure: LC0 = 2.6 mg/L (mean measured), LC50 = 6.3 mg/L (mean measured), LC100 = 8.5 mg/L (mean measured).

Executive summary:

The acute toxicity of the test substance Sandelice on zebra fish was determined according to EU method C1 (1992). The following nominal test concnetrations were used: 2.0, 4.0, 8.0 and 13 mg/L. The test organisms were exposed to the test substance for 96 hours in a semi-static test design with a daily renewal of the treated test water. The LC50 was calculated using semi-logarithmic interpolation including LC100. Since the analytical recovery of the test concentration after 24 hours decreased below 80 % of nominal, the mean measured test concentration was calculated by using all recovery values (%). The following LC-values were determined:

LC0 = 2.6 mg/L

LC50 = 6.3 mg/L

LC100 = 8.5 mg/L
