- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION
The test solutions used in the test were prepared by mechanical dispersion without using any solubilising agent.
Experiment I
An amount of 0.0302 g test item was dissolved in 302 mL dilution water (ISO Medium) resulting a nominal concentration of 100 mg/L. After the formulation procedure test animals were immediately introduced into the test solution or control (start of Experiment I).
Experiment II
A stock solution was first prepared by dissolving an amount of 0.0804 g test item in 804 mL dilution water (ISO Medium) resulting a nominal concentration of 100 mg/L. Test solutions of subsequent lower concentrations were prepared by appropriate dilution of this stock solution. (see Table 4). After the formulation procedure test animals were immediately introduced into the test solutions or control (start of Experiment II). - Test organisms (species):

EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED:
The immobility or mortality of the Daphnia was determined by visual observation after 24 and 48 hours of exposure. Those animals not able to swim within 15 seconds after gentle agitation of the test beaker were considered to be immobile. In addition to immobility any abnormal behaviour or appearance is reported.
RANGE-FINDING STUDY
- Test concentrations: 0.1, 1, 10 and 100 mg/L
- Results used to determine the conditions for the definitive study: No toxic effects were observed during the preliminary test, therefore, a single concentration of 100 mg/L and a concurrent control were tested in a limit test (Experiment I). As toxicity (30 % immobilization) was observed in the limit test at 100 mg/L, a complementary experiment (Experiment II) was carried out in a full test using a range of concentration. The following nominal concentrations were tested in Experiment II: 19.8, 29.6, 44.4, 66.7 and 100 mg/L; concurrent control ran. - Reference substance (positive control):

The 48-h NOEC was determined to be 29.6 mg/L.
All validity criteria were met. The results are based on nominal test item concentrations. - Executive summary:
The influence of the test item on the mobility, respectively survival of Daphnia magna was evaluated in an Immobilisation Test according to OECD guideline 202.
Young Daphnia were exposed for 48 hours to the limit concentration of 100 mg/L (Experiment I). As toxicity was observed in the limit test at 100 mg/L, a complementary experiment (Experiment II) was carried out in a full test. In the full test (Experiment II) daphnids were exposed to aqueous test item concentrations of 19.8, 29.6, 44.4, 66.7 and 100 mg/L for 48 hours. A control containing test medium (ISO medium) without test item was also included. The immobility or mortality of the Daphnia was determined by visual observation after 24 and 48 hours of exposure.
For determination of the test item concentrations, samples were taken from each concentration level and control at the start and at the end of the tests. Concentrations were determined using HPLC-UV method. The measured concentrations of the test item were in the range of 98 – 101 % of the nominal at the start and 100 – 113 % at the end of the tests (i.e. within ± 20 % during the experiment) therefore the biological results are based on the nominal concentrations.The results of the statistical evaluation showed that the 48-h immobilisation was statistically significantly different from the untreated control value in the test concentrations of 44.4, 66.7 and 100 mg/L and not significantly different in the concentrations of 19.8 and 29.6 mg/L. Accordingly the 48-h NOEC was determined to be 29.6 mg/L. After 48-h exposure the observed immobility in the highest concentration of 100 mg/L (35 % including the results of both Experiment I and II; 30 % and 40 % in Exp. I and II respectively) was less than in the lower concentrations of 44.4 and 66.7 mg/L (40 % and 65 % immobility respectively). This high variability of immobilisation observed in the three highest concentrations (40 %, 65 % and 35 % immobility) which showed no concentration response pattern can be considered to be due to the flat concentration response curve of the test item and the low factor of 1.5 between test concentrations. The 48-h-EC50 was determined to be >100 mg/L (108.0 calculated) (95 % conf. limits: 72.6 – 404.1 mg/L). All validity criteria were met.

Analytical Results
The measured concentrations of the test item were in the range of 98
– 101 % of the nominal at the start and 100 – 113 % at the end of the
tests (i.e. within ± 20 % during the experiment) therefore the
biological results are based on the nominal concentrations.

Biological Results
The results of the statistical evaluation showed that the 48-h
immobilisation was statistically significantly different from the
untreated control value in the test concentrations of 44.4, 66.7 and 100
mg/L and not significantly different in the concentrations of 19.8 and
29.6 mg/L. Accordingly the 48-h NOEC was determined to be 29.6 mg/L.
After 48-h exposure the observed immobility in the highest concentration
of 100 mg/L (35 % including the results of both Experiment I and II; 30
% and 40 % in Exp. I and II respectively) was less than in the lower
concentrations of 44.4 and 66.7 mg/L (40 % and 65 % immobility
respectively). This high variability of immobilisation observed in the
three highest concentrations (40 %, 65 % and 35 % immobility) which
showed no concentration response pattern can be considered to be due to
the flat concentration response curve of the test item and the low
factor of 1.5 between test concentrations.
The 48-h-EC50 was determined to be > 100 mg/L (108.0 calculated) (95 %
conf. limits: 72.6 – 404.1 mg/L).
Validity of the Study
No immobilisation was observed in the control group (≤ 10 %) and the
dissolved oxygen concentration at the end of the test in control and
test vessels was more than 3 mg/L in all cases. All validity criteria
were within acceptable limits and therefore the study can be considered
as valid.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The influence of the test item on the mobility, respectively survival of Daphnia magna was evaluated in an Immobilisation Test according to OECD guideline 202.
Young Daphnia were exposed for 48 hours to
the limit concentration of 100 mg/L (Experiment I). As toxicity was
observed in the limit test at 100 mg/L, a complementary experiment
(Experiment II) was carried out in a full test. In the full test
(Experiment II) daphnids were exposed to aqueous test item
concentrations of 19.8, 29.6, 44.4, 66.7 and 100 mg/L for 48 hours. A
control containing test medium (ISO medium) without test item was also
included. The immobility or mortality of the Daphnia was determined by
visual observation after 24 and 48 hours of exposure.
For determination of the test item concentrations, samples were taken
from each concentration level and control at the start and at the end of
the tests. Concentrations were determined using HPLC-UV method. The
measured concentrations of the test item were in the range of 98 – 101 %
of the nominal at the start and 100 – 113 % at the end of the tests
(i.e. within ± 20 % during the experiment) therefore the biological
results are based on the nominal concentrations.
The results of the statistical evaluation
showed that the 48-h immobilisation was statistically significantly
different from the untreated control value in the test concentrations of
44.4, 66.7 and 100 mg/L and not significantly different in the
concentrations of 19.8 and 29.6 mg/L. Accordingly the 48-h NOEC was
determined to be 29.6 mg/L. After 48-h exposure the observed immobility
in the highest concentration of 100 mg/L (35 % including the results of
both Experiment I and II; 30 % and 40 % in Exp. I and II respectively)
was less than in the lower concentrations of 44.4 and 66.7 mg/L (40 %
and 65 % immobility respectively). This high variability of
immobilisation observed in the three highest concentrations (40 %, 65 %
and 35 % immobility) which showed no concentration response pattern can
be considered to be due to the flat concentration response curve of the
test item and the low factor of 1.5 between test concentrations. The
48-h-EC50 was determined to be >100 mg/L (108.0 calculated) (95 % conf.
limits: 72.6 – 404.1 mg/L). All validity criteria were met.
