Water media type:
freshwater
Limit test:
no
Total exposure duration:
48 h

Results and discussion

Effect concentrations
Duration:
48 h
Dose descriptor:
EC50
Effect conc.:
4.59 mg/L
Nominal / measured:
nominal
Conc. based on:
test mat.
Basis for effect:
mobility
Remarks on result:
other: Nominal concentrations verified analytically

Any other information on results incl. tables

Since the analytically determined concentrations of the test substance in the test solutions were within +20% of the nominal concentrations, the effect concentration can be expressed relative to the nominal concentration.
