Given the rapid dissipation in the aquatic systems, chronic exposure due to the agricultural applications is considered less likely. The initial PEC is the protective estimation for the acute effects, because many toxicity data are based on nominal concentrations and because it cannot be excluded that pronounced effects may appear already after a short-term exposure. Outdoor microcosm study (without fish) • On basis of the most sensitive endpoints studied the overall NOEC in the microcosms is 10 µg chlorothalonil/L; • In shallow freshwater ecosystems an EAC of 30 µg chlorothalonil/L may allow sustainable populations of sensitive algae and invertebrates, since recovery of affected populations of algae and invertebrates was observed a few weeks after the last application.
