4. Ecotoxicity Substance ID: 71–43–2
______________________________________________________________________________
Type: other
Species: Gambusia affinis (Fish, fresh water)
Exposure period: 24 hour(s)
Unit: mg/l Analytical monitoring: no data
LC50: = 395 –
Method: other
Year: 1957
GLP: no data
Test substance: other TS
Remark: After exposure for 48 and 96 hours, the LC50 values were
found to be 395 and 386 mg/l respectively. At 300 mg/l and
less, the fish were apparently normal and at 1000 mg/l all
were dead within 16 min.

Test condition: Groups of ten fish were exposed to benzene in pond water
which had a long history of high turbidity. The alkalinity
was low (10 ppm methyl orange alkalinity), pH ranged from
8.1–8.4 and temperature from 20–22 degree C.
Test substance: Chemically pure benzene tested.
Reliability: (4) not assignable

German Rapporteur
Test condition: Groups of ten fish (Salmo gairdneri=Oncorhynchus mykiss, 5–8
weeks of age) were exposed to benzene in a total volume of
10 l tap water (hardness 5.5 degree d.H. corresponding to 98
mg CaCO3) at 15 degree C and pH 7.8.
Test substance: Purity: purest grade available (at least >98% pure, no
further information given).
Reliability: (3) invalid
