Risk characterisation (PEC/PNEC ratio) for the freshwater compartment
Taxa | PECsurfacewater (μg/L) | E(L,r)C50/NOEC (mg/L) | UF | PNEC (μg/kg) | PEC/PNEC |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Algae Scenedesmus subspicatus |
31 | 100 | 1,000 | 100 | 0.31 |
Aquatic invertebrates Daphnia magna |
118 | 1,000 | 118 | 0.26 | |
Fish Oncorynchus mykiss |
124 | 1,000 | 124 | 0.25 |
PEC: predicted environmental concentration; E(L)C50: half‐maximal effective (lethal) concentration; ErC50: effect concentration measured as 50% reduction in growth rate in algae tests; NOEC: no observed effect concentration; UF: uncertainty factor; PNEC: predicted no effect concentration.
