The microscopic examination of the algal cells after 72 hours exposure showed no difference between the algae growing in test media containing the test item at the loading rate of 22 mg/L and the algal cells in the controls. There were no obvious effects on the shape and size of the algal cells growing in test media containing the test item at up to and including this loading rate.
In the control the cell density increased from nominal N = 1 x 104cells/mL at the start of the test (0 hours) to N = 48 X 104cells/mL (mean value) after 72 hours. Thus, the algal growth in the control was sufficiently high under the test conditions and the validity criterion of increase of cell density by at least a factor of 16 over the duration of the study was fulfilled.
No remarkable observations were made concerning the appearance of the test media. All test media were clear solutions throughout the test period.
At the start of the test, the pH values in the test media and the control ranged from 7.9 to 8.0. At the end of the test, pH values between 8.0 and 8.9 were measured. The water temperature was constantly 22°C.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The test item ZP-TIX 1014 and its degradation products, respectively had a statistically significant inhibition effect on the growth (biomass and growth rate) of Scenedesmus subspicatus after 72 h at loading rate of 10 mg/L and above.
Since at the loading rate of 4.6 mg/L both the mean of biomass and the mean growth rate r of the algae were not satistically significantly lower than in the control, the value of 4.6mg/L was determined to be the NOEC; the highest concentration tested without toxic effect. - Executive summary:
- The influence of the test item ZP-TIX 1014 on the growth of the
green algal species Scenedesmus subspicatus CHODA T was investigated In a
72-hour static test according to the EU Commission Directive 92/69/EEC,
C.3, 1992, and the OECD Guideline No. 201, 1984. The test method is also
based on the OECD Guidance Document on Aquatic Toxicity Testing of
Difficult Substances and Mixtures, 2000.
In order to assess the toxicity of ZP-TIX 1014 to algae, five water accommodated fractions (WAFs) with loading rates of 4.6, 10, 22, 46 and 100 mg/L were tested as the test item contains components which may be sparingly soluble. Additionally, a control (test water without test item) was tested in parallel.
Five WAFs were prepared by dispersing adequate amounts of the test item in test water by stirring for 96 hours. After stirring, the dispersions of the test item were filtered through a membrane filter (pore size 0.45 µm). The filtrates of the dispersions were used as test media. Since the test item is not stable in test water, the degradation products were tested. Therefore, a long stirring period of 96 hours was chosen to enrich the test water with the maximum concentration of degradation products within a practically acceptable time period.
The test item is a poorly soluble mixture of isocyanates and it is generally known, that these compounds degrade fast in water. Due to these characteristics, the test item could not be analytically measured in the test media. Furthermore, the verification of the test item could not be based on its degradation products, since none could be defined during the analytical pre-experiments. For this reasons, no analytical work was performed.
The biological test results after 72 hours test duration:
The test item ZP-TIX 1014 and its degradation products, respectively, had a statistically significant inhibition effect on the growth (biomass and growth rate) of scenedesmus subspicatus after the exposure period of 72 hours at loading rates of 10 mg/L (= 72-hour LOEC: lowest concentration tested with toxic effects) and above. The 72-hour NOEC (highest concentration tested without toxic effects) was determined to be at the loading .rate of 4.6 mg/L, since at this loading rate both the mean biomass and the mean growth rater of the algae were not statistically significantly lower than in the control.
The EC values were calculated for both parameters, the algal biomass (b) and the growth rate (r), after 72 hours test duration. All results are based on loading rates:
Parameter Biomass b Growth rate r
