The purpose of this study was to estimate the acute toxicity (EC50) of Tert-Amyl Methyl Ether (TAME) to daphnids (Daphnk magna) under flow-through conditions. The EC50 is defined as the concentration of test material in dilution water which causes immobilization of 50°A in the exposed test population after a fixed period of time. This value is often used as a relative indicator of potential acute hazards resulting from the release of the test substance into aquatic environments. The study was initiated on 26 October 1992, the day the Study Director signed – the protocol, and was completed on the day the Study Director signed the final report, The experimental phase of the 48-hour definitive toxicity test was conducted from 10-12 December 1992 at Springborn Laboratories, Inc. (SLI), Environmental Sciences Division, Wareham, Massachusetts. All original raw data and the final report produced for this study are stored at SLI.
