<strong>POTASSIUM</strong> CHLOR<br />

4. Ecotoxicity Substance ID: <strong>7447</strong>-<strong>40</strong>-7<br />

chambers at test initiation. The criteria for<br />

death were no visible movement and no response to<br />

prodding.<br />

Test solutions were prepared by dissolving 10,000<br />

mg/l KCl salt in MHRW, and diluting with MHRW to a<br />

series of 5 test concentrations spaced on 0.5<br />

dilution factor. As testing proceeded, test<br />

concentrations were spaced much more closely to<br />

better define responses near the effect threshold.<br />

All ion concentrations measured in stock solutions<br />

were compared to nominal values. If measured<br />

concentration differed from the nominal value by<br />

more than 20 %, the actual measured concentrations<br />

were substituted for the nominal concentrations.<br />

Background KCl content in the dilution water MHRW<br />

were added to the calculated contributions from<br />

the stock solutions.<br />

Dissolved oxygen (DO) and pH were measured in<br />

selected test solutions during actual toxicity<br />

testing: Measured DO concentrations were always ><br />

<strong>40</strong> % saturation; measured pH was between 7.5-9.0.<br />

53 replicate tests were conducted, and average<br />

LC50 values were calculated as the arithmetic mean<br />

of the values; SD = 14, range 0.0-61.<br />
