- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- In view of the difficulties associated with the evaluation of aquatic toxicity of poorly water soluble test materials, a modification of the standard method for the preparation of aqueous media was performed. An approach endorsed by several important regulatory authorities in the EU and elsewhere (ECETOC 1996 and OECD 2000), is to expose organisms to a saturated solution of the test material in cases where the test material is of high purity and is poorly soluble in water and in the permitted auxiliary solvents and surfactants. Using this approach, a saturated solution was prepared by stirring an excess (100 mg/l) of test material in dechlorinated tap water for a period of 48 hours prior to removing any undissolved test material present by filtration (0.2 µm Sartorius Sartopore, first approximate 2 litres discarded in order to pre-condition the filter) to give a saturated solution of the test material.

An amount of test material (2250 mg) was dispersed in 22.5 litres of dechlorinated tap water with the aid of propeller stirring at approximately 1500 rpm at a temperature of approximately 14°C for a period of 48 hours. After 48 hours the stirring was stopped and the undissolved test material removed by filtration (0.2 micro.m Sartorius Sartopore filter, first approximate 2 litres discarded in order to pre-condition the filter) to give the 100% v/v saturated solution.
This method of preparation was conducted in duplicate to give replicates R1 and R2.
The concentration and stability of the test material in the test preparations were verified by chemical analysis at 0 (fresh media), 24, 48, 72 (old and fresh media) and 96 hours (old media) (see Appendix 2 - attached background material).

- Range-finding Test:
Cumulative mortality data from the exposure of rainbow trout to the test material during the range-finding test are given in Table 1. There were no sub-lethal effects of exposure during the range-finding test.
The results showed no mortalities at the test concentrations of 10 and 100% v/v saturated solution.
Based on this information, the test material solution for the definitive test was prepared by stirring an excess (100 mg/l) of test material in dechlorinated tap water for a period of time and then removing any undissolved test material by filtration to give the 100% v/v saturated solution. This experimental design conforms to a "Limit test" to confirm that no immobilisation or adverse reactions to exposure were observed.
Definitive Test:
Mortality data
Cumulative mortality data from the exposure of rainbow trout to the test material during the definitive test are given in Table 2.
There were no mortalities in 14 fish exposed to a test concentration of 100% v/v saturated solution for a period of 96 hours. Inspection of the mortality data gave the following results:
Time (h) LC50 (% v/v saturated solution) 95% Confidence limits

3 >100 -
6 >100 -
24 >100 -
48 >100 -
72 >100 -
96 >100 -
The results of the definitive test showed the highest test concentration resulting in 0% mortality to be greater than or equal to 100% v/v saturated solution, the lowest test concentration resulting in 100% mortality to be greater than 100% v/v saturated solution and the No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC) to be 100% v/v saturated solution. The No Observed Effect Concentration is based upon zero mortalities and the absence of any sub-lethal effects of exposure at this concentration
Sub-lethal effects:
There were no sub-lethal effects of exposure observed in 14 fish exposed to a test concentration of 100% v/v saturated solution for a period of 96 hours.
Observations on test material solubility:
The test material preparation was observed to be a clear, colourless solution throughout the duration of the test.
Physico-chemical measurements:
The results of the physico-chemical measurements are given in Appendix 3. Temperature was maintained at approximately 14°C throughout the test, while there were no treatment related differences for oxygen concentration or pH.
Verification of test concentrations:
Analysis of the test preparations (see Appendix 2) at 0 (fresh media), 24, 48, 72 (old and fresh media) and 96 hours (old media) showed measured concentrations in the test preparations to be less than the limit of quantitation (LOQ) of the analytical method which was assessed down to 0.21 mg/l.
This does not infer that no test material was in solution but that the dissolved concentration (ie bioavailable to the test organisms) was below the limit of quantitation of the analytical method. As such the test results are based on nominal concentrations only.
This study showed that there were no toxic effects at saturation. - Results with reference substance (positive control):

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:

- Conclusions:
- The acute toxicity of the test material to the freshwater fish rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) has been investigated and gave a 96-Hour LC50 of greater than 100% v/v saturated solution. Correspondingly the No Observed Effect Concentration was 100% v/v saturated solution.
- Executive summary:
Introduction.
A study was performed to assess the acute toxicity of the test material to rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). The method followed that described in the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals (1992) No 203, "Fish, Acute Toxicity Test" referenced as Method C.1 of Commission Directive 92/69/EEC (which constitutes Annex V of Council Directive 67/548/EEC).
Methods.
Information provided by the Sponsor indicated that the water solubility of the test material was very low. Preliminary solubility work conducted indicated that it was not possible to obtain a testable solution of the material using traditional methods of preparation e.g. ultrasonication and high shear mixing. As the test material is a preparation it was considered appropriate to prepare the test material using a saturated solution method of preparation.
Following a preliminary range-finding test fish were exposed, in two groups of seven, to an aqueous solution of the test material, at a single concentration of 100% v/v saturated solution for a period of 96 hours at a temperature of approximately 14ºC under semi-static test conditions. The test material solution was prepared by stirring an excess (100 mg/l) of test material in dechlorinated tap water using a propeller stirrer at approximately 1500 rpm at a temperature of approximately 14°C for 48 hours. After the stirring period any undissolved test material was removed by filtration (0.2 micro.m Sartorius Sartopore filter, first approximate 2 litres discarded in order to pre-condition the filter) to produce a saturated solution of the test material.
The number of mortalities and any sub-lethal effects of exposure in each test and control vessel were determined 3 and 6 hours after the start of exposure and then daily throughout the test until termination after 96 hours.
Results.
The 96-Hour LC50based on nominal test concentrations was greater than 100% v/v saturated solution and correspondingly the No Observed Effect Concentration was 100% v/v saturated solution.
Analysis of the test preparations at 0 (fresh media), 24, 48, 72 (old and fresh media) and 96 hours (old media) showed measured concentrations in the test preparations to be less than the limit of quantitation (LOQ) of the analytical method which was assessed down to 0.21 mg/l.
This does not infer that no test material was in solution but that the dissolved concentration (ie bioavailable to the test organisms) was below the limit of quantitation of the analytical method. As such the test results are based on nominal concentrations only.
This study showed that there were no toxic effects at saturation.
