Where 96 hours shows up
Ninety-six hours is a fixed exposure period in environmental testing. OECD Test Guideline 203, the standard acute fish toxicity test, exposes fish to a chemical for 96 hours, recording mortality at 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours to establish the concentration lethal to half the group. Four days is long enough to catch effects a single day would miss without crossing into chronic territory. Outside the laboratory the same span is what a long holiday weekend covers, Friday morning to Monday morning.
