- Conclusions:
- No toxic effects of Macrolex Orange R against fish were observed at a limit test concentration of nominally 100 mg/L under exposure conditions. A 96h-LC50 > 0.216 mg/L has been determined. All results are expressed in terms of geometric mean measured concentrations.
- Executive summary:
The study was conducted in accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 440/2008, Method C.1 'Acute toxicity for Fish' (2008) which is in most parts equivalent to the OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals No. 203 'Fish, Acute Toxicity Test' (1992) to assess the acute toxicity of Macrolex Orange R to Danio rerio under semi-static conditions.
An acute daphnia toxicity test and an algal growth inhibition test preceded the fish test. They provided information about the concentration which was used in the fish test. Because of the anticipated low toxicity of the test item, fish were exposed in the main test to a limit test concentration of nominally 100 mg/L for a period of 96 hours.
A group of seven fish of the recommended size was exposed to a limit test concentration of nominally 100 mg/L of Macrolex Orange R dissolved in dilution water. Auxiliaries used to prepare the test media were an ultrasonic bath, a magnetic stirrer and a folded filter. The test solution was changed every 24 h. During the test a temperature range of 20 - 24 °C was maintained in the test vessels, with a maximum temperature fluctuation of +/- 1.3 °C in the test. The temperature, the pH and the oxygen values were measured every day in the freshly prepared media and in the media after 24 hours of exposure.
Observations were made on the number of dead fish and the incidence of sub-lethal effects after 2, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours of exposure. No toxic effects against fish were observed at the limit of water solubility under exposure conditions. A 96h-LC50 > 0.216 mg/L (geometric mean measured concentration) has been determined.
All results are expressed in terms of nominal concentrations and geometric mean measured concentrations. Effective concentrations ranged from 0.21 % to 0.33 % of nominal values in the freshly prepared medium/media and from 0.13 % to 0.22 % of nominal values in the medium/media after 24 hours of exposure according to the semi-static test conditions.
