TEST CONCENTRATIONS
- Test concentrations: 100 mg/L of concetration and control were set
- Results used to determine the conditions for the definitive study: Based on the results of the preliminary test - Reference substance (positive control):
- yes
- Remarks:
- confirmation of sensitivity: LC50 (96 hr) by reference substance (copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate, special grade chemical) was 0.40 mg/L (converted to anhydride).
- Duration:
- 96 h
- Dose descriptor:
- NOEC
- Effect conc.:
- 100 mg/L
- Nominal / measured:
- nominal
- Basis for effect:
- mortality (fish)
- Key result
- Duration:
- 96 h
- Dose descriptor:
- LC50
- Effect conc.:
- > 100 mg/L
- Nominal / measured:
- nominal
- Basis for effect:
- mortality (fish)
- Duration:
- 96 h
- Dose descriptor:
- LC100
- Effect conc.:
- > 100 mg/L
- Nominal / measured:
- nominal
- Basis for effect:
- mortality (fish)
- Details on results:
- The mortality of the control was 0% and it fullfilled the conditions of establishing the test. No mortality was observed at the highest concentration of 100 mg/L. No abnormal symptoms were observed in the control and highest concentration group during the exposure period.
Infrared absorption spectrum of the refrigerated test chemical was detected at the start and the end of the test, and both spectrums are not contradictory to each other. - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- confirmation of sensitivity: LC50(96 hr) by reference substance (copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate, special grade chemical) was 0.40 mg/L (converted to anhydride). It has not been described whether the data are historical reference data of the laboratory.
- Reported statistics and error estimates:
- Statistical Method
a) Data Analysis: All of test organisms were lived at the end of the test period, therefore the LC50 is more than the highest concentration.
b) Method of Calculating Mean Measured Concentrations (i.e. arithmetic mean, geometric mean, etc.): Mean measured concentration was not calculated. - Sublethal observations / clinical signs:
- Measured Concentrations: The test concentrations were
measured at 0 h and 48 h. For all of them, the deviations
from the nominal were less than +/-20%.

- Calculation of toxicity values: The calculation of
toxicity values was the nominal concentration. The reason is
that all of the deviations from the nominal concentration
were less than +/-20%.- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- LC50 > 100 mg/L and NOEC 100 mg/L
- Executive summary:
In a 96-h acute toxicity study, killifish (Oryzias latipes) were exposed to MMB at the nominal concentration of 100 mg./L under semistatic, unaerated conditions, observations were made during 0, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours after the exposure.
The 96 -h LC50was > 100 mg./L. The LC100 was > 100 mg/L. The NOEC was 100 mg/L.This toxicity study is classified as acceptable and satisfies the OECD No.203 guideline requirement for acute toxicity test to Killifish (oryzias latipes).
