p-CRESOL<br />

4. ECOTOXICITY ID: 106-44-5<br />

DATE: 24.05.2004<br />

standards and described in sufficient detail<br />

07.05.2004 (107)<br />

Type : Aquatic<br />

Species : Escherichia coli (Bacteria)<br />

Exposure period :<br />

Unit : mg/l<br />

TT : > 1000<br />

Analytical monitoring : No<br />

Method :<br />

Year : 1960<br />

GLP : No<br />

Test substance : other TS: p-cresol, no purity reported<br />

Method : test organisms isolated from river water<br />

endpoint: inhibition of glucose metabolism<br />

Remark : TT = toxicity treshold; determined at 5% effect compared to<br />

control<br />

Reliability : (3) invalid<br />

Experimental details missing<br />

07.05.2004 (111)<br />

Type : Aquatic<br />

Species : Photobacterium phosphoreum (Bacteria)<br />

Exposure period : 15 minute(s)<br />

Unit : mg/l<br />

EC50 : = 1.6<br />

Analytical monitoring : No<br />

Method : other: Microtox assay<br />

Year : 1987<br />

GLP : No<br />

Test substance : other TS: p-cresol, analytical grade (either from Merck or EGA Chemie)<br />

Remark : Not enough information supplied for assessment of the test used (Test<br />

done according to Beckman manual). Although it is suggested that<br />

Microtox may lack reproducibility due to variations in bacterial cell<br />

suspensions [Bitton G (1983) Bacterial and Biochemical Tests for<br />

Assessing Chemical Toxicity in the Aquatic Environment: A Review. Crit<br />

Rev Environ Control 13: 51 -67], no information is supplied on the<br />

maintenance of the lyophilized bacteria, their age, duration of reconstitution<br />

and other important parameters.<br />

Reliability : (3) invalid<br />

Unsuitable test system. Organisms are of marine origin. Method is not<br />

appropriate for the hazard assessment of chemicals.<br />

07.05.2004 (112)<br />

Type : Aquatic<br />

Species : Photobacterium phosphoreum (Bacteria)<br />

Exposure period : 30 minute(s)<br />

Unit : mg/l<br />

EC50 : = 1.5<br />

Analytical monitoring : No<br />

Method : other: Microtox assay<br />

Year : 1981<br />

GLP : no data<br />

Test substance : other TS: p-cresol, no purity reported<br />

Remark : Inhibition of bioluminescence<br />

Secondary literature; not enough information for assessment of cited result<br />

Test condition : 20 degrees C<br />

Reliability : (4) not assignable<br />
