- Details on sampling:
- - Concentrations: This stock solution and dilutions of this “stock solution” by 1:2, 1:4, 1:8, 1:16 were prepared for testing. Additionally, a control was tested in parallel. These dilutions corresponded to the following mean measured concentrations of the test item: 66.3, 31.1, 15.3, 7.94 and 3.77 mg test item/L, and a control.
- Sampling method: Duplicate samples from the freshly prepared test media of all test concentrations and the control were taken at the start of the test and at day 1. For the determination of the stability of the test item under the test conditions and of the maintenance of the test item concentrations during the test period, duplicate samples from the aged test media of all test concentrations and the control were collected at day 1 (after 24 hours of exposure) and at the end of the test by pouring together the contents of the test beakers of each treatment
- Sample storage conditions before analysis: All samples were extracted stand-by immediately after sampling and were stored at 4 ± 4°C until analysis. The remaining parts of the extracts were stored deep frozen (≤ -20°C) and will be kept stored up to the date of the final report.
- Analysis: The concentrations of the test item were analysed in the duplicate test media samples from all test concentrations, and in the duplicate control samples, from both sampling times (0 and 48 hours). - Vehicle:
- no
- Details on test solutions:
- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION
- Method: The test item is not well soluble in test medium. To avoid physical effects of undissolved test item on the daphnids, no concentrations above the solubility limit of the test item in test water was tested.
Before test start and before the test medium renewal, a ´stock solution´ (nominal 100 mg/L) of test material in test medium was prepared as close to the water solubility limit as possible by dissolving 200.2 and 198.2 mg test item into 2002 and 1982 mL test water. The test medium was stirred with an excess of test material in a vessel with minimum headspace for 2 hours. Afterwards the test medium was allowed to settle for at least 1 hour until phase separation. This ´stock solution´was withdrawn from a tap at the center of the vessel, after first flushing the tap and tubing with a small aliquot, and then mixed with test medium to produce the desired set of test concentrations. Care was taken to avoid any loss of the test item by volatilisation during transfer/handling steps.
- Controls: test water without test substance
- Evidence of undissolved material: there were no remarkable observations. - Test organisms (species):
- Daphnia magna
- Details on test organisms:
- TEST ORGANISM

- Source: test facility's in-house laboratory culture
- Feeding during culture:
* Food type: green algae (Desmodesmus subspicatus)
* Frequency: daily
- Feeding during test: no
- Age at study initiation: young daphnids with an age of 1.5 to 19.25 hours
ACCLIMATION
- Acclimation period: not necessary, since the test was performed in the same medium as the culturing
METHOD FOR PREPARATION AND COLLECTION OF EARLY INSTARS OR OTHER LIFE STAGES:
The daphnids were bred in the laboratories of ibacon under similar temperature and light conditions as used in the test. The cultivation of the parental daphnids was performed in Elendt M4 medium. The test organisms were not first brood progeny. - Test type:

- Total exposure duration:
- 48 h
- Post exposure observation period:

- Test temperature:
- 19.4 to 20.2 °C in the freshly prepared media;
19.5 to 20.3°C in the aged test media - pH:
- 8.1 to 8.4 in the freshly prepared media;
8.1 to 8.2 in the aged test media - Dissolved oxygen:
- 8.5 to 9.1 mg/L in the freshly prepared media;
8.5 to 8.7 mg/L in the aged test media - Conductivity:
- < 5 μScm^-1
- Nominal and measured concentrations:
- The test item is not well soluble in test medium. To avoid physical effects of undissolved test item on the daphnids, no concentrations above the solubility limit of the test item in test water was tested. Before test start and before the test medium renewal, a ´stock solution´ (nominal 100 mg/L) of test item in test medium was prepared as close to the water solubility limit. This stock solution and dilutions of this “stock solution” by 1:2, 1:4, 1:8, 1:16 were prepared for testing. These dilutions correspond to following mean measured concentrations of the test item: 66.3, 31.1, 15.3, 7.94 and 3.77 mg test item/L, and a control.
- Details on test conditions:
- TEST SYSTEM
- Test vessel: Glass beakers of approximately 110 mL volume containing as much test medium as possible (i.e. the remaining head space was reduced to a technical possible minimum of some mL), kept closed during the whole period of the study with a conical glass stopper to avoid loss of the test item due to volatilisation.
- Aeration: no
- Renewal rate of test solution (frequency): 1 renewal after 24 hours
- No. of organisms per vessel: 5
- No. of vessels per concentration (replicates): 4

In the aged test media after 24 and 48 hours test duration, 63% of the nominal value was determined (average of all test concentrations).
During the test the test organism was exposed to a mean of 63% of nominal. - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- - Results with reference substance: valid
- Dose-response test: yes; tested concentrations: stock solution of 100 mg/L and the dilutions: 1:10, 1:100 and 1:1000
-The main test: 24h-EC50 = 32.4 mg/L (no 95% C.I. determinable); 48h-EC50 = 17.1 (95% C.I. 14.1 - 20.9 mg/L)
- Other: the sensitivity of the daphnids was consistent with the level proposed by the OECD 202 guideline (i.e. 24h-EC50 between 0.6 and 2.1 mg potassium dichromate/L, which was 1.48 mg/L) - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- The 24-hour and 48-hour EC50 and the 95 % confidence limits were calculated by probit analysis.
The slope function (after Litchfield and Wilcoxon) was derived from the slope, b, of the linearised Probit function and computes as S = 10^(1/b); small values refer to steep concentration/response relationships and large ones to flat relationships.
The software used to perform the statistical analysis was ToxRat Professional, Version 3.2.1, ToxRat Solutions GmbH. - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Remarks:
- 1) In the control, no daphnids became immobilised or showed other signs of disease or stress. 2) The oxygen concentration at the end of the test was ≥3 mg/L in control and test vessels (which was ≥8.5 mg/L).
- Conclusions:
- The 48h-EC50 value to Daphnia magna was 17.1 mg/L based on geometric mean measured concentrations.
- Executive summary:
A study was performed to assess the acute toxicity of the substance to Daphnia magna. The study was conducted in accordance with OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals No. 202 and GLP under semi-static conditions. Based on the results of a range-finding test, the following nominal concentrations were tested in the definitive test: untreated control, an aqueous solution of test item in test media with a concentration as close to saturation as possible (100 mg/L nominal) as highest test concentration and dilutions of the highest concentrations of 1:2, 1:4, 1:8 and 1:16. The measured concentrations were: 66.3, 31.1, 15.3, 7.94 and 3.77 mg test item/L. For each concentration and a control group, twenty Daphnia magna (less than 24 hours old) were exposed for 48 hours in air-tight closed vessels. The incidence of immobilisation was recorded for each test and control group at 24 hours and at 48 hours. Samples taken from all concentrations at the start and the end of both 24 -hour renewal periods were analysed with a validated GC-FID method. In the freshly prepared test media at the start of the test and at the renewal of the test media 63% of the nominal test concentrations were found (average of all test concentrations). In the aged test media after 24 and 48 hours test duration, 63% of the nominal value was determined (average of all test concentrations).
Since test concentrations did not remain stable during the 24 -hour renewal periods, geometric mean measured concentrations were calculated. The range tested based on geometric mean measured concentrations was66.3, 31.1, 15.3, 7.94 and 3.77 mg test item/L.
The 48h-EC50 value to Daphnia magna was 17.1 mg/L based on geometric mean measured concentrations.
