4. ECOTOXICITY ID: <strong>7783</strong>-<strong>20</strong>-2<br />
DATE: 18.04.<strong>20</strong>06<br />
STATISTICAL METHOD: The 96-h LC50 value was derived using<br />
aninterpolation method as described by Stephan (Stephan CE:<br />
Methods for calculating an LC50: Aquatic toxicology and<br />
hazard evaluation. In: FL Mayer and JL Hamelink, eds., STP<br />
634. American Society for Testing and Materials,<br />
Philadelphia, PA, pp. 65-84). The linear interpolation uses<br />
the logarithm transformation of the concentration and the<br />
angle transformation of the percent dead between the two<br />
doses that bracket 50% response.<br />
YEAR OF STUDY: not reported.<br />
Reliability: (2) valid with restrictions<br />

LC50 : = 3528<br />
Method:<br />
other: static test as described in Doudoroff (1951), Sewage<br />
Wastes 23, 130<br />
Year: 1995<br />
Test substance: other TS: ammonium sulfate, purity 99%<br />
Test condition:<br />
TEST ORGANISMS: Freshwater mussels, belonging to the species<br />
Lamellidens marginalis weighing 30 +/- 2 g, collected from the<br />
ponds of an Indian village. The animals were fed ad libitum on<br />
freshwater plankton and acclimated to laboratory conditions<br />
for a period of 15 days.<br />
Concentration (sublethal): 10 and 176.4 mg/l about 7 days<br />
EXPOSURE TO TEST SUBSTANCE: Batches of 10 animals were<br />
exposed to different concentrations of ammonium sulfate<br />
ranging from 1,000 to 5,000 mg/L with an interval of 100<br />
mg/L. Each experiment in the selected concentrations of<br />
ammonium sulfate was repeated six times.<br />
OBSERVATIONS: After 48 hours the number of animals died at<br />
each concentration was recorded. the animal was considered<br />
dead when the mantle edge was no longer responsive to touch<br />
and failure to close the shell valves.<br />
DETERMINATION OF THE LC50: The mortality in each<br />
concentration was taken to determine the LC50 by graphical<br />
plots of per cent mortality, probit mortality against log<br />
concentration of ammonium sulfate according to the method of<br />
Finney, 1964.<br />
Reliability: (2) valid with restrictions<br />
