Details on test solutions:
PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
- Method: A stock solution of 1000 mg/l was prepared. The stock solution was prepared by dissolving 1000 mg test substance and 100 mg of the solubilizer Cremophor in dilution water. The test concentrations were then prepared by dilution with test water.
- Chemical name of vehicle (organic solvent, emulsifier or dispersant): 25 mg Cremophor/l
- Concentration of vehicle in test medium (stock solution and final test solution(s) including control(s)): 0.5, 1.0, 2.5, 5.0, 10.0, 25.0 mg/l

Test organisms (species):
Desmodesmus subspicatus (previous name: Scenedesmus subspicatus)

TEST MEDIUM / WATER PARAMETERS
- Source/preparation of dilution water: according to DIN 38412 L9


EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED (with observation intervals if applicable) :
- Determination of cell concentrations: At 0, 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours after test start, the algae cell density was determined by spectro-fluorometrical measurement using an impulse fluorometer. The parameters pH, and temperature were determined at the end of the test. Also, at the end of the incubation period the algae cells were analyzed for signs of photosynthesis blockage by means of a spectrophotometrical scan at 300 - 780 nm.
