- Vehicle:
- no
- Details on test solutions:
- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION
- Method: A saturated solution with a nominal concentration of 4.37 mg/L of the test item, which corresponds to 5.218 µL/L of the test item (relative density: 0.8375 (D20/4) was taken into account), was prepared one day prior the start of exposure (at -24 hours) and one day prior to the renewal of the test solutions (at o hours) in a brown glass flask. The glass flask was filled with 40 g glass beads (diameter: 4 mm) and up to the top with the dilution water having no headspace (total volume: 2275 mL). The test item was pipetted into the dilution water and the brown glass flask was closed immediately with a screw cap with a septum. This dispersion was shaken for 24 hours with 20 rpm at room temperature. After completion of shaking, the dispersion was allowed to stand for approximately 1 hour for separation of undissolved test item. Thereafter, the saturated solution was removed from the approximate center of the water body. The saturated solution was used as the highest concentration level and as a stock solution for the preparation of further dilution levels by dilution with dilution water.
- Differential loading: Five dilution leves were prepared out of the sturated solution in a geometric series with a separation factor of 2.2 by dilution of the saturated solution with dilution water, were tested as follows: 1.94 - 4.27 -9.93 - 20.7 - 45.5 - 100% of the saturated solution.
- Controls: Negative control = dilution water without test item incubated under the same conditions as the test groups; positive control with the reference item potassium dichromate
- Evidence of undissolved material: The saturated solution was checked via laser beam (Tyndall effect) for undissolved test item (formation of an emulsion). The Tyndall effect was positive. - Test organisms (species):
- Daphnia magna

- Age of parental stock: Less than 24 hours old daphnids from a healthy stock were used for the study. Juvenile daphnids were removed from the culture vessels at the latest 24 hours before the start of the exposure and discarded. The juvenile born within the following period of max. 24 hours preceding the exposure were used for the test. No first brood progeny was used for the test.

- Executive summary:
To assess the ecotoxicological effects of the test item to aquatic invertebrates, an Acute Toxicity Test with Daphnia magna according to OECD Guideline 202 and EU Method C.2 was carried out in compliance with GLP principles. The study was conducted in a closed system (sealed glass flasks) without headspace under semi-static conditions over a period of 48 hours with the undiluted saturated solution of the test item and further five dilution levels (nominal 1.95 to 100%) prepared from the saturated solution in a geometric series with a separation factor of 2.2. Twenty daphnids (devided into 4 replicates with 5 daphnids each) were exposed to each concentration level and the control. The concentrations of the test item were analytically verified via GC-MS in the fresh media at the start of the exposure and at the renewal of the test solutions (0 and 24 hours) as well as in the old media at the renewal and at the end of the test (24 and 48 hours) in all concentration levels and in the control. The geometric mean measured test item concentration was 2131, 1043, 452, 207, 104, 42.0 µg/L. In result, the 48h EC10 and EC50 of the test item was determined to be 0.280 mg/L and 0.513 mg/L (based on geometric mean measured concentration), respectively. All validity criteria of the guidelines were fulfilled.
