TOXICITY AND BIODEGRATION

Effect on a crustacean

: LC50 (48 h, Acartia Tonsa) = 13 mg.I-I (concentrated)
  : LC50 (48 h, Acartia Tonsa) = 650 mg.I-I (diluted 50 :1)
Effect on algae growth : ErC50 (72 h. Skelet. Costatum) = 6.2 mg I-I (concentrated)
  : ErC50 (72 h. Skelet. Costatum) = 310 mg I-I (diluted 50:1)
Acute toxicity test with fish : LC50 (96 h. Cyprinus Carpio) = 1473 mg I-I (diluted 50:1)
Acute immobilization Daphnia : EC50 (48 h. Moina Macrocopa) = 1075 mg I-I (diluted 50 :1)
Biodegradability : In natural seawater = 66 % within 28 days (closed bottle)
    BOD 0.18 ~ COD 0.27 mg O2. mg-I
  : Sewer and
  waterpurification plant
= 100 % within 60 minutes.
Bioaccumulation : Basic components = Log Pow between 3.5 and 5.1
Product classification (EEC) : Concentrated = R51 – Toxic to aquatic organisms
  : Diluted 20:1 = Not hazardous to aquatic organisms
Detergents used in Aquaquick : Primary degradation = 96-100 % in 21 days
  : Mineralization = 80 - 98 % in 28 days
Animal toxicity : LD50 (oral rate) = 5 g/kg. (Aquaquick 2000 / E)
    = 12 g/kg. (Aquaquick 2000 SP)

Conclusion TNO Research NL

: As evidence exists that all components included in
Aquaquick 2000 SP are readily biodegradable and completely mineralized in aquatic systems, no long term adverse effects for the aquatic ecosystems may be expected.

 

: Aquaquick 2000 SP fulfils the European environmental criteria
(EC 648/2004)


Mechem Laboratory, Singapore

: Aquaquick 2000 was found to comply with the specifications of dispersants listed in the first schedule of the prevention of pollution of the sea (regulations 1999)


Department of Energy, Indonesia

: Aquaquick 2000 has been approved to be used to treat oil spills on land and sea.

DERMATOLOGY TNO Research

Acute dermal irritation/corrosion : Albino Rabbits = not irritating or corrosive to (human) skin
Acute eye irritation/corrosion : Albino Rabbits = not irritating or corrosive to (human) eyes (diluted 50:1)
Sensitization/maximization test : Guinea Pigs = not sensitizing
