Results and discussion
Effect levels

- NOAEC
- Effect level:
- 0.38 other: µmole/egg
- Sex:
- not specified
- Basis for effect level:
- other: mortality, malformations
Any other information on results incl. tables
Number of early deaths (after 2d) were only about 20% (7 and 6 from 30 eggs at 1.5 and 3.0 µmole/egg, respectively). At a concentration of 3.0 µmole/egg 16 late deaths showed malformation at day 14 (53% of initial). 8 and 7 late deaths showed malformation at 0.75 and 1.5 µmole/egg, respectively.
The authors discussed that the low rate of early deats may be related to the fact that the chemicla was not lethal at the doses tested or that high lethal concentrations did not reach the embryo during teh 2 days, but lower teratogenic doses did.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The authors stated that all of the tested peroxides (inicluding CAS 80-43-3) are rather untoxic to the embryos (all had ED50 >100 µmole/egg), compared to other chemicals tested with ED50 values from 18 -90 nmole/egg for thiurams and 2.5 -26 nmole/egg for dithiocarbamates.
