DATE: 24.05.2004
12.05.2004 (61)
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
to < 20% of the nominal values
Reliability : (2) valid with restrictions
Guideline study; applied test concentrations not stable
during the test period
Flag : Critical study for SIDS endpoint

Species : other terrestrial plant: Lactuca sativa Ravel R2
Endpoint : growth
Exposure period : 16 day(s)
Unit : mg/l
EC50 : 50
Method :
Year : 1993
GLP : no data
Test substance : other TS: m-cresol, purity >= 95 %
Method : semistatic test in nutrient solution, renewed 3 times/week
nutrient solution as described in Steiner, A.A.: Soilless
culture. Proceedings, Sixth Colloqium of the International
Potash Institute, Florence, Italy, 324-341 (1968);
analytical monitoring of TS at start and end of exposure and
before renewal of test solution
Result : EC50 based on nominal concentration; TS concentration before
renewal of test solution > 50% of initial concentration
Reliability : (3) invalid
unsuitable test system

Species : Raphanus sativus (Dicotyledon)
Endpoint : other: germination and growth rate
