Result : pertubation level 0.5 mg/l
Reliability : (4) not assignable
secondary literature

4.5.1 CHRONIC TOXICITY TO FISH
4.5.2 CHRONIC TOXICITY TO AQUATIC INVERTEBRATES
4.6.1 TOXICITY TO SEDIMENT DWELLING ORGANISMS
4.6.2 TOXICITY TO TERRESTRIAL PLANTS
Species : other terrestrial plant: Lactuca sativa Ravel R2
Endpoint : growth
Exposure period : 14 day(s)
Unit : mg/kg soil dw
EC50 : 96
Method : OECD Guide-line 208 "Terrestrial Plants, Growth Test"
Year : 1993
GLP : no data
Test substance : other TS: m-cresol, purity >= 95 %
Method : analytical monitoring at start and end of test
Result : EC50 based on nominal concentration; for most of the
examined phenols (including m-cresol) applied concentrations dropped but
remained larger than 50 % of the nominal values.
The 7-d EC50 was 69 mg/kg soil (original dimension µg/g soil).
Reliability : (2) valid with restrictions
Guideline study; applied test concentrations not stable
during the test period
Flag : Critical study for SIDS endpoint

Species : Lactuca sativa (Dicotyledon)
Endpoint : emergence
Exposure period : 3 day(s)
Unit : mg/l
EC50 : 53
Method : other: Seed germination test
Year : 1978
GLP : no
Test substance : other TS: m-cresol, no purity reported
Method : As described by Reynolds 1975 (Characterization of osmotic restraints on
lettuce fruit germination. Ann. Bot. 39, 791-796) and 1977 (Comparative
effects of aliphatic com-pounds on inhibition of lettuce fruit germination.
Ann. Bot. 41, 637-648)
- Lettuce cultivar Great Lakes
