- Details on test solutions:
- Aqueous extracts of the test substance were tested. For this purpose, suspensions of the test substance were prepared in dilution water. For this purpose, the test substance was weighed into the glass vessels with the respective amount of water used for the preparation of the aqueous extracts. The test substance was introduced into the dilution water whilst shaking on a shaking machine (ca.130 rpm) for 24h at room temperature. It is assumed that during that time equilibration between the test substance and the water was achieved. Thereafter, the suspensions were filtered through filier paper which was previously rinsed thoroughly with ultrapure water (Seral, "Purelab Plus") in order to eliminate possible soluble impurities from the Filter material. The filtered extracts were used directly for the test without any further dilution steps. Prior to using in the test, the pH of the aqueous extracts was measured; pH was not adjusted. In the same way a Blank without any test substance
was prepared. As the test substance exhibits partial adsorptive properties the aqueous extracts of the test substance were transferred into the respective test vessels, and after approx. 1 hour, the aqueous extracts were replaced by a second part of the aqueous extract. By that measure the surfaces of the glass walls were saturated with the test substance, and losses due to adsorption were avoided. After that measure the test animals were introduced into the test solutions and the incubation was started. - Test organisms (species):
- Daphnia magna
- Details on test organisms:
- Daphnia magna STRAUS of laboratory bred (originally derived from Dr. Knie, LWA Düsseldorf) were used for the test. In order to verify the sensitivity of the test system towards toxic substances the effect of potassium dichromate towards different animals of this bred is tested once a month. The value of the EC50 in this period of time was 0.9 mg/L potassium dichromate.
The animals used for the test were not older than 24h. The daphnia were cultivated in drinking water and fed with cells from the unicellular green alga Scenedesmus subspicatus according to SOF 5001 of Institut Fresenius Taunusstein. During the test the daphnia were not fed. - Test type:

TEST MEDIUM / WATER PARAMETERS
The dilution water (according to DIN 38412, part II) was prepared from four separate stock solutions:
- Solution 1: 0.22 g KCl were dissolved in 1L deionized water.
- Solution 2: 2.52g NaHCO3 were dissolved in 1L deionized water.
- Solution 3: 11.76g CaCl2.2H2O were dissolved in 1L deionized water.
- Solution 4: 4.93g MgSO4.7H2O were dissolved in 1L deionized water.
250mL of each solutions 1 to 4 were given into deionized water, the final volume was made up to 10L and the solution was stirred vigorously for about 30 min.
OTHER TEST CONDITIONS
- Adjustment of pH: no
- Photoperiod: 16h of light and 8h of darkness

EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED (with observation intervals if applicable) : The effect of the test substance to the animals was examined by the determination of the swimming behaviour of the
daphnia. For this purpose the respective test vessel was gently agitated. Daphnia showing no swimming within 15 sec were considered as immobile. Moving of antenna were not considered as swimming.

Therefore, under the experimental conditions and based on the nominal test concentrations (analytically confirmed by TOC analysis), the 48-hour EC50 value was determined at 6.8 mg/L.
- Executive summary:
The study was performed to assess the acute toxicity of the test substance to the freshwater invertebrate Daphnia magna. The method followed was designed to be compliant with OECD Guideline 202, Part I and GLP statement. In order to investigate the influence of the test substance towards the daphnia, the swimming behaviour of the animals was recorded. Following a preliminary range-finding test, twenty daphnids (four replicates, five daphnids per replicate) were exposed to the aqueous extracts from the test substance (as the test substance is considered poorly water soluble) over a range of nominal test concentrations of 0 (control), 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32 mg/L. Under the conditions used for the test, immobilisation of the daphnia was observed at nominal concentrations >2 mg/L. Within TOC-analyses performed with the test solutions at t=0h and t=48h, it could be shown, that the organic matter of the test substance remained constant in the aqueous phase. The recoveries of the test substance on the basis of the nominal concentrations were observed to be in the range of >90%. For this reason, the results of this test are based an the nominal concentrations tested. After 48 hours of exposure, immobilisations were 0% at 1 mg/L, 10% at 2 mg/L, 15% at 4 mg/L, 60% at 8 mg/L, 95% at 16 mg/L and 100% at 32 mg/L. Therefore, under the experimental conditions and based on the nominal test concentrations, the 48-hour EC50 value was determined at 6.8 mg/L.

Additional information
One key study is available to assess the acute toxicity of the registered substance to the freshwater invertebrate Daphnia magna, under static conditions, according to the OECD Guideline 202 Part I, with GLP statement. Twenty daphnids (four replicates, five daphnids per replicate) were exposed to the aqueous extracts from the test substance over a range of nominal test concentrations of 0 (control), 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32 mg/L. Under the conditions used for the test, immobilisation of the daphnia was observed at nominal concentrations >2 mg/L. Within TOC-analyses performed with the test solutions at t=0h and t=48h, it could be shown, that the organic matter of the test substance remained constant in the aqueous phase. The recoveries of the test substance on the basis of the nominal concentrations were observed to be in the range of >90%. For this reason, the results of this test are based an the nominal concentrations tested. After 48 hours of exposure, immobilisations were 0% at 1 mg/L, 10% at 2 mg/L, 15% at 4 mg/L, 60% at 8 mg/L, 95% at 16 mg/L and 100% at 32 mg/L. Therefore, under the experimental conditions and based on the nominal test concentrations, the 48-hour EC50 value was determined at 6.8 mg/L.
