- Details on sampling:
- Duplicate 100 mL samples were taken from control and test stock solutions (all concentrations) at 0 hours and from culture vessels (replicates pooled) at 72 hours. Samples were not filtered to remove algal cells before analysis.

- Details on test solutions:
- Identity and concentration of auxiliary solvent for dispersal: The test substance was directly spiked into test vessels
containing diluent medium. These were stirred for 30 minutes
to assist dispersion. Preliminary investigations into the
solubility and stability indicated that the test substance
was volatile. Therefore, each vessel was sealed with a
tightly fitted screw lid. - Test organisms (species):

TEST CONCENTRATIONS
Initial range finding indicated that the EC50 was likely to be greater than 100 mg/L, with a NOEC around 10 mg/L. Definitive tests were then conducted which indicated that the NOEC was below 10 mg/L. Therefore the test range was selected to estimate the NOEC value. - Reference substance (positive control):

- Growth inhibition of Selenastrum capricornutum by the substance was seen at 2.2 mg/L under the conditions of this test.
The EC50 in terms of both biomas and growth rate was greater than 100 mg/L. The No Observed Concentration (NOEC) in terms of biomass was less than 2.2 mg/L; the NOEC in terms of growth rate was 2.2 mg/L.

72 hour NOEC (growth rate) = 2.2 mg/L
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- EC50 for freshwater algae:

Additional information
An algal growth inhibition study was conducted (Huntingdon Life Sciences, 2003) to determine the effect of the substance on the growth of Selenastrum Capricornutum (new name Pseudokirchnerella Subcapitata). The study was conducted according to OECD test guideline 201 and EC method C3, and in compliance with GLP.
Triplicate algal cultures were exposed to the substance at concentrations 2.2, 4.6, 10, 22, 46, and 100 mg/L and incubated under continuous illumination for 72 hours. Six replicate contol cultures were also incubated concurrently with the test samples.
Biomass was affected by treatment with the substance at all levels, and so the No Observed Effect level in terms of Biomass was less than 2.2 mg/L, the lowest concentration tested. An effect on growth rate was also seen at all levels, but was less pronounced; as the reduction in growth rate was less than 10% at the lowest level, the NOEC in terms of growth rate was concluded to be 2.2 mg/L. The EC50 in terms of both biomass and growth rate was greater than 100 mg/L, the highest concentration tested.
