What Ecological Toxicity testing was submitted:
  • ACUTE AQUATIC TOXICITY:
    • VERTEBRATES
      • Study Type: Acute toxicity to fish
      • Protocol/guideline: Not reported
      • Year Study Performed: 1978
      • Was the study
      • Duration of study: 96 hours
      • Number of Organisms per Group: Not reported
      • Species
      • Strain: Bluegill sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus)
      • Test Substance Purity: Not reported
      • Dose/Concentration: Not reported
      • Exposure period: 96 hours
      • Route
      • Results based on critical effect: Please note the document is a sanitized version of the 8e submission. Fish were exposed to the test substance under static conditions. Abnormal behavior including abnormal sounding and skittering swimming behavior was observed in fish exposed to concentrations greater than or equal to 0.32 mg/L. Based on these results, the submission sponsor finds that the 96-hour LC50 is 0.51 mg/L and the 96-hour NOEC is 0.18 mg/L.
      • Study Results: 96-hour LC50 = 0.51 mg/L; 96-hour NOEC = 0.18 mg/L
    • INVERTEBRATES
      • Study Type: Acute immobilization test
      • Protocol/guideline: Not reported
      • Year Study Performed: 1978
      • Was the study
      • Duration of study: 48 hours
      • Number of Organisms per Group: Not reported
      • Test Substance Purity: Not reported
      • Dose/Concentration: Not reported
      • Exposure period: 48 hours
      • Species
      • Route
      • Results based on critical effect: Please note the document is a sanitized version of the 8e submission. Daphnia were exposed to the test substance under static conditions. Based on these results, the submission sponsor finds that the 48-hour LC50 is 0.96 mg/L and the 48-hour NOEC is less than 0.32 mg/L.
      • Study Results: 48-hour LC50 = 0.96 mg/L; NOEC < 0.32 mg/L
      • Strain: Daphnia magna
