Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Toxicity of the substance has been tested on M. beryllina, in a 7d acute test. The results demonstrated that a LC50(7d) > 0.4 mg/L.

Executive summary:

Toxicity of the substance has been tested on Menidia beryllina, in a 7d acute-renewal test, following US EPA Guideline EPA-821 -R-02 -014. A control and five different concentrations (0.01, 0.1, 1, 10, and 100 mg/L) were tested in 4 replicates, each replicate containing 10 individuals. The solution was completely changed every days of the experiment. The results demonstrated a LC50(7d) > 0.4 mg/L of chlorine dioxide.
