TEST CONCENTRATIONS
Limit test: 100 mg solid matter/L
Reference substance (positive control):
yes
Remarks:
pentachlorophenol
Duration:
96 h
Dose descriptor:
LL50
Effect conc.:
> 100 mg/L
Nominal / measured:
nominal
Conc. based on:
test mat.
Basis for effect:
mortality (fish)
Duration:
96 h
Dose descriptor:
NOEC
Effect conc.:
100 mg/L
Nominal / measured:
nominal
Conc. based on:
test mat.
Basis for effect:
mortality (fish)
Details on results:
- Mortality of control: no mortality observed
- Any observations that might cause a difference between measured and nominal values: Starting at 48h, the test solution was observed to be slightly hazy.
Results with reference substance (positive control):
- Results with reference substance valid? Yes
- LC50: 96H LC50 0.15 mg/L
- Other: falls within the range of sensitivities generally observed during the
past years
Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
In conclusion, the 96h-LL50 for carp exposed to 1-Octanol, reaction products with phosphorus oxide (P2O5), potassium salts was >100 mg solid matter/L. The analytically confirmed concentration of dioctyl phosphate in the test solution was 22 mg/L.
Executive summary:

The acute toxicity to fish of the test item was assessed following OECD 203 under static conditions. Following a range-finding study, a limit test was performed with a WAF of the test item at 100 mg solid matter/L. No mortality or clinical effects were observed in both the control and the WAF during the test period. The 96h-LL50 for carp exposed to the test item was >100 mg solid matter/L. The analytically confirmed concentration of dioctyl phosphate in the test solution was 22 mg/L.
