From 72-hour ErC50 = 0.58 mg/L for algae (Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata) (Results of Ecotoxicity tests of chemicals conducted by Ministry of the Environment in Japan, 2004), it was classified in Category 1. |

If chronic toxicity data are used, then it is classified in Category 2 due to lack of rapid degradability (a degradation rate by BOD: 6.3% (the existing chemicals survey program, 1978)), and 72-hour NOEC (growth inhibition) = 0.32 mg/L for algae (Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata) (Results of Ecotoxicity tests of chemicals conducted by Ministry of the Environment in Japan, 2004). If acute toxicity data are used for a trophic level for which chronic toxicity data are not obtained, then it is classified in Category 2 due to lack of rapid degradability (a degradation rate by BOD: 6.3% (the existing chemicals survey program, 1978)), and 96-hour LC50 = 1.8 mg/L for fish (Oryzias latipes) (Results of Ecotoxicity tests of chemicals conducted by Ministry of the Environment in Japan, 2004). It was classified in Category 2 from the above results. |
