- Executive summary:
The acute toxicity to Daphnia magna was carried out according to OECD 202 Daphnia sp., Acute Immobilisation Test, equivalent to EU Method C.2 guidelines. Following preliminary range finding tests using DMSO dispersant to increase water solubility, a definitive study was completed in 100 mL closed glass flasks under semi-static conditions. Preparation of test solutions started with stock solutions in DMSO. Volumes were then added to ISO-medium to obtain the desired concentration. The concentrations were then magnetically stirred, after which the respective solutions were used for testing. Preparation during the final test included a magnetic stirring period, which was followed by a stabilisation period. The definitive test concentrations were 0 (control), and 120 -1000 mg/L nominal exposure concentrations. Twenty daphnids per group (5 per replicate, quadruplicate) were exposed to an untreated control at the specified nominal test substance concentrations. The study met the acceptability criteria prescribed by the protocol and was considered valid. The 24h EC50 was determined to be 7.4 mg/L for D. magna, 12 mg/L for D. carinata, and 10 mg/L for D. pulex.
