Environmental Scientist - Toxicologist Tennessee Valley Authority 1101 Market St, PSC 1X-C Chattanooga, TN 37402 Dr. Sherrad:
In addition to the aquatic toxicity information listed on the MSDS for MSW-1 01, the following information is also available for the product:
Species End Point Value Test Substance Fathead Minnow 7 day IC25 (growth) 2,735 mg/l pH Adjusted Product Fathead Minnow 7 day IC25 (growth) 1,294.6 mg/l Non-pH Adjusted Product (Results expressed as non-aqueous components)
Ceriodaphnia dubia 7 day IC25 133.3 mg/I pH Adjusted Product (reproduction)
Ceriodaphnia dubia 7 day IC25 20.1 mg/1 Non-pH Adjusted Product (Results (reproduction) expressed as non-aqueous components)
As a point of clarification, these studies were not run concurrently, but rather the pH adjusted product study Was conducted first followed by the non-pH adjusted product. In addition, the term "non-aqueous components" is equivalent to the term "active ingredients" as used to describe components of a product that serve a function in the end use application. However, it is not equivalent to the EPA FIFRA term that denotes a component with pesticidal activity.
From your communications to me, I understand that TVA 1) can not validate the pH adjusted test results,
- 2) does not concur with the non-pH-adjusted C. dubia chronic test results because of a large number of males in the test population and 3) however, does consider the results from the C. dubia test conservative and derived in a manner consistent with the EPA Methods manual.
Please contact your local Nalco sales representative or myself, if you have additional questions regarding this product.
- Regards, Ricky Stackhouse, Ph.D.
