Results with reference substance (positive control):
Under the conditions of the reference study with Lemna minor, 3,5-dichlorophenol reduced growth rate of this aquatic plant at nominally 0.56 mg/l and higher.

The EC50 for growth rate reduction (ERC50: 0-7d) was 2.4 mg/l with a 95% confidence interval ranging from 1.4 to 4.2 mg/l. According to ISO 20079 the ranges for growth rate reduction should lie between 2.2 and 3.8 mg/l. Hence, the ERC50: 0-7d for the present batch corresponds with this range.

The EC50 for yield inhibition (EYC50: 0-7d) was 2.1 mg/l with a 95% confidence interval ranging from 1.2 to 3.8 mg/l. Historical ranges are not yet available.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the present study with Lemna minor, Everzol SB46 reduced growth rate and inhibited the yield of this fresh water plant species significantly at 30 mg/l (LOEC). The NOEC for growth rate reduction and yield inhibition was 8.9 mg/l.

The EC50 for growth rate reduction (ERC50: 0-7d) for frond numbers and wet weight was beyond the rage tested, i.e. exceeded the average exposure concentration of 98 mg/l.

The EC50 for yield inhibition (EYC50: 0-7d) based on frond numbers and wet weight were similar, i.e. 77 and 76 mg/l, respectively.
