Subform VII: Scientific Study

1. Study Reference

Title Toxicity of 2,4-Dichlorophenol to the Aquatic Plant Myriophyllum Aquaticum in a Static Growth Inhibition Test with a Prior Rooting Phase

Date 13-JAN-12

2. a) Is an extension needed to translate the document?

No

3. Type of incident identified in the study

Presence of a component or derivitive

4. Describe the incident identified in the study (e.g. study demonstrates an increased risk to non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma after exposure to pesticide X)

The influence of 2,4-Dichlorophenol on the growth of the dicotyl freshwater plant Myriophyllum aquaticum was assessed in a static dose-response test. For the parameter shoot length the 10-day ErC50 was calculated to be 30.5 mg test item/L (equivalent to the geometric mean measured concentration of 23.0 mg test item/L) and the 10-day EyC50 to be 26.0 mg test item/L (equivalent to the geometric mean measured concentration of 19.0 mg test item/L). For fresh weight the 10-day ErC50 was calculated to be 25.8 mg test item/L (equivalent to the geometric mean measured concentration of 18.4 mg test item/L) and the 10-day EyC50 to be 19.6 mg test item/L (equivalent to the geometric mean measured concentration of 12.4 mg test item/L). The lowest 10-day NOEC for yield and growth rate was based on biomass (fresh weight) measurements and was determined to be 5.01 mg test item/L (equivalent to the geometric mean measured concentration of 2.34 mg test item/L).

5. a) Was the study discontinued before completion?

No

5. b) Provide the reason for discontinuation
