Sampling and analysis
- Analytical monitoring:
- yes
- Details on sampling:
- Samples of the test solutions were collected at approximately 0 and 72 hours to measure concentrations of the active substances. At test initiation, samples were collected from each test concentration and control solution prior to distribution into test chambers. At exposure termination, the biological replicates from each respective test concentration and negative control solution were pooled and then sampled, and the single abiotic control replicate was also sampled. All samples were collected in glass vials and were acidified with 10% phosphoric acid upon collection. Two sets of samples were collected at each interval. One set was processed immediately for analysis and the second set was stored refrigerated for possible future analysis. Samples collected at the 72-hour sampling interval were centrifuged for five minutes at 14500 rpm, to remove algae prior to analysis.

- Details on test solutions:
- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION:
A primary stock solution was prepared at a nominal concentration of 120 milligrams per litre (mg/L) by dissolving 0.1200 g of the test substance in 1000 mL freshwater AAP medium. The stock was inverted at least twenty times, sonicated for thirty minutes and was stirred with a Teflon®-coated stirbar and magnetic stirplate for thirty minutes to mix. The stock appeared clear and colourless. No precipitates were observed. The 120 mg/L primary stock continued stirring while all subsequent dilutions were made. Additional test solutions were prepared at nominal concentrations of 7.5, 15, 30 and 60 mg/L by diluting 31.25, 62.5, 125 and 250 mL of the 120 mg/L stock, respectively, to a final volume of 500 mL in freshwater AAP medium. All test solutions appeared clear and colourless and were otherwise unremarkable at the time of preparation. Aliquots of the freshwater AAP medium were used for the negative control solution. The solutions appeared normal, with no particulates or surface-slicks observed, at test termination.
Test organisms
- Test organisms (species):
- Raphidocelis subcapitata (previous names: Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, Selenastrum capricornutum)
- Details on test organisms:
- TEST ORGANISM: Original algal cultures were obtained from the University of Toronto Culture Collection in 2000, and were used to initiate a culture at Wildlife International, Easton, MD. Algal cells used in this test were obtained from Wildlife International cultures that had been actively growing in culture medium for at least two weeks prior to test initiation. Algal cells for this study were taken from a culture that had been transferred to fresh medium four days prior to test initiation. The negative control organisms were expected to exhibit exponential growth over the 72-hour exposure period.

EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED (with observation intervals if applicable) :
Test samples were collected from each replicate of the test concentrations and negative control for the determination of algal cell densities. Samples were collected at approximately 24-hour intervals during the 72-hour exposure. Cells were enumerated on the same day as sample collection. Prior to counting, the sample solutions were sonicated for 0.5 minutes to ensure the cells within each sample were homogeneously distributed. Cell counts for the samples collected during the exposure phase were performed using an electronic particle counter (Beckman Coulter® Z Series)
Samples were pooled within their respective treatments, and sub-samples were removed and examined microscopically for atypical cell morphology (e.g., changes in cell shape, size or colour). Cells in the replicate test chambers also were assessed for aggregation, flocculation, or adherence of the cells to the test chamber.

- Effect concentrations exceeding solubility of substance in test medium: no - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- The calculation of cell densities, area under the growth curve, growth rates, yields and percent inhibition values, as well as all statistical analyses, were conducted using SAS Version 8.2. Yield was calculated for each treatment and control replicate at 72 hours as the final cell density after 72 hours of exposure minus the nominal initial cell density. Specific growth rate was calculated for each replicate of the control and test concentrations at each 24-hour interval of exposure. The 72-hour area under the growth curve, growth rate and yield data were evaluated for normality and homogeneity of variance (α = 0.01) using the Shapiro-Wilk’s and Levene’s tests, respectively. Since the data were normally distributed with homogeneous variances, the treatment groups were compared to the negative control using Dunnett’s test (α = 0.05). The results of the statistical analyses, as well as an evaluation of the concentration-response pattern, were used to determine the NOEC relative to each parameter at 72 hours. Inhibition values were calculated for each test concentration as the percent reduction in area under the growth curve, growth rate or yield relative to the negative control replicates. Area under the growth curve, growth rates and yields were analysed to estimate ECx values (i.e., the theoretical test concentrations that would produce an x% reduction in a variable of interest relative to the negative control) at the 72-hour exposure interval. ECx values for area under the growth curve, growth rate and yield and their corresponding 95% confidence limits, were calculated using non-linear regression at 72 hours of exposure.
Any other information on results incl. tables
At the end of the 72-hour exposure period, cell density increased in the negative control by at least a factor of 16, the coefficient of variation for the average specific growth rates in the control replicates was 3.2%, and the mean coefficient of variation for section-by-section specific growth rates (days 0-1, 1-2, and 2-3) in the control replicates was 35%. Cell density in the control replicates increased at an exponential rate over the 72-hour exposure period.
To determine if the test substance had an algistatic or algicidal effect, recovery was initiated for the mean, measured concentrations of 28, 55 and 113 mg/L. In the recovery phase, it was demonstrated that the effects of the test substance were algistatic (reversible) rather than algicidal at concentrations less than or equal to 113 mg/L based on greater than a 16X increase of healthy cells within four days.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- 72-hour EbC50 = 23 mg/L
72-hour ErC50 = 68 mg/L
72-hour NOEC = 7.0 mg/L
72-hour EyC50 = 25 mg/L - Executive summary:
Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata was exposed to five concentrations of the test substance and evaluated for effects on area under the growth curve, growth rate and yield according to OECD Guideline 201. Based on mean, measured concentration (7.0, 14, 28, 55 and 113 mg/L), the EbC50, ErC50 and EyC50 values were estimated to be 23, 68 and 25 mg/L, respectively. Dunnett’s test indicated that mean area under the growth curve, mean growth rate and mean yield were significantly reduced (p<0.05) from the negative control group at the mean, measured concentrations of 14, 28, 55 and 113 mg/L. Consequently, the 72-hour NOEC value for all endpoints was determined to be 7.0 mg/L.
