nominal
Conc. based on:
test mat.
Basis for effect:
mobility
Details on results:
- Mortality of control: No immobility was observed
Results with reference substance (positive control):
- Results with reference substance valid? Yes
- Relevant effect levels: 48h-EC50 was 0.59 mg/L
- Other: The sensitivity of this batch of D. magna was in agreement with the historical data collected at Charles River Den Bosch
Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
In conclusion, the 48h-EL50 for Daphnia magna exposed to the test item was >100 mg solid matter/L. The analytically confirmed concentration of dioctyl phosphate in the test solution was 16 mg/L.
Executive summary:

The acute toxicity to Daphnia of the test item was assessed following OECD 202 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 48h-LL50 for Daphnia magna exposed to the test item was >100 mg solid matter/L. The analytically confirmed concentration of dioctyl phosphate in the test solution was 16 mg/L.
