Conc. = Concentration; Hrs = Hours

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
The LC50 was determined to be >100 mg/L
Executive summary:

In a GLP guidline study conducted according to OECD 203, the substance was evaluated for toxicity to Pimephales promelas in a 96-hour static nonrenewal test at a limit dose of 100 mg/L. All fish survived the study and, thus, the LC50 was determined to be >100 mg/L. There was no observable abnormalities in any of the test groups during any point of the study.
