- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION
- Method: Preparation of test solutions started with the highest concentration of 100 mg/L. No other treatment than vigorous shaking was needed to completely dissolve the test item in medium. Lower test concentrations were prepared by subsequent dilutions of the highest concentration in test medium. Because the test item is sensitive to light, during preparation procedure and light was dimmed and glassware was covered with aluminum foil.
- Controls: Test medium without test item or other additives
- Evidence of undissolved material: All test solutions were clear and colorless at the end of the preparation procedure.

EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED:
- Determination of cell concentrations: At the beginning of the test, cells were counted using a microscope and acounting chamber; thereafter cell densities were determined by spectrophotometric measurement of samples at 680 nm using a spectrophotometer with immersion probe (pathlength =20 mm). Algal medium was used as blank and the extra replicates as background for the treated solutions.Cell densities were recorded at 24-hour intervals in the control and the limit concentration. Intermediate concentrations were measured only at the end of the exposure period.
- Appearance of the cells: At the end of the test microscopic observations were performed in the control and the limit concentration to observe any abnormal appearance of the algae.

- Remarks:
- Based on biological relevance
- Details on results:
- Actual concentrations measured in the limit concentration were at the level of nominal during the entire exposure period (103-112%) in solutions incubated with and without algae. Therefore, the effect parameters were expressed in terms of analytically confirmed nominal concentrations.
The inhibition of growth ranged between 0.7 to 1.7% at the end of the exposure period. The effect observed at the limit concentration was statistically significant and therefore, no NOEC can be given based on statistical significance. As this effect was biologically insignificant (<10%), the NOEC based on biological relevance was set at 100 mg/L.
- Observation of abnormalities (for algal test): Microscopic observations at the end of the test revealed a normal and healthy appearance of the algal cells exposed to the limit concentration when compared to the control. - Results with reference substance (positive control):

The EC50 for growth rate inhibition (72h-ERC50) was 1.2 mg/L with a 95% confidence interval ranging from 1.1 to 1.2 mg/L. - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- Growth rate: Shapiro-Wilk's test on normal distribution and Levene's test on variance-homogeneity (normal-distribution and variance-homogeneity requirements are fulfilled); Two-sample t-test.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the present study with Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, no biologically relevant inhibition of growth rate was recorded at any of the concentrations of the substance tested.
The EC50 for growth rate inhibition (72h-ERC50) was beyond the range tested, i.e. exceeded an analytically confirmed nominal concentration of 100 mg/L.
The 72h-NOEC for growth rate inhibition was 100 mg/L based on the biological relevance. The EC10 for growth rate inhibition (alternative to NOEC) was also beyond the range tested, i.e. exceeded an analytically confirmed nominal concentration of 100 mg/L.
