- TEST SYSTEM
- Test vessel: 45 liter
- Type: Open
- Type of flow-through: The apparatus used in this study was a dynamic, continuous flow-through system. The test vessels, dosing lines, mixing chambers and stock vessels were all constructed of glass. A minimum quantity of silicone rubber tubing was used to connect the components together. Glass vessels with a maximum capacity of 54 litres and a working volume of 45 litres were used to hold the test fish. The test solutions were renewed at a nominal rate of 250 ml/minute so that a 95% exchange of the test solutions was calculated to occur within 9 hours. The stock solutions were fed to the glass mixing chambers by a series of Watson-Marlow peristaltic pumps and the dilution water was supplied using a capillary flow control system. Magnetic stirrers in the mixing chambers were used to ensure mixing before the test solutions passed into the fish exposure vessels. The dilution ratio of the stock solutions to dilution water was nominally 1:10,000 in all concentrations. Calibration of the dilution water and toxicant flow rates was undertaken daily for the first three days and then 3 times per week. The dilution water flow rates were measured by collecting for 1 minute prior to input to the test vessels. The stock solution flow rates were calculated after weighing the stock solutions over a known period of time.
- Renewal rate of test solution (frequency/flow rate): 250 mL/minute

TEST MEDIUM / WATER PARAMETERS
- Preparation of dilution water: The dilution water was dechlorinated tap water. The water was supplied via a 100m3 reservoir with an average retention time of 24 hours. It was passed through activated carbon, filtered to remove particulate material and dechlorinated with sodium thiosulphate. The treated water was then held in a secondary reservoir with a capacity of 36 m3 and an average retention time of 8 hours. It was delivered to the test system via a temperature controlled header tank at a nominal temperature of 15°C.

WATER QUALITY MEASUREMENTS
The dissolved oxygen, pH and temperature were measured in each test vessel daily for the first 3 days and then 3 times per week until the end of the study. In addition, the water hardness, conductivity and the free and residual chlorine content of the dilution water were determined daily. Measurements of pH were carried out with a pH meter. Dissolved oxygen values were measured with a dissolved oxygen meter. Temperature values were determined for all vessels by a mercury-in-glass thermometer calibrated to 0.1°C. A continuous record of the temperature in one vessel was also made using a thermistor probe linked to a chart recorder. Conductivity was measured with a conductivity meter. Hardness was determined by titration with standard EDTA solution using BDH total hardness indicator and alkalinity was measured by an electrometric method.

- Executive summary:
- The chronic effect of continuous exposure to the test substance on fish was evaluated in a flow-through prolonged toxicity test with the freshwater rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). The test was performed similar to OECD TG 204 (extended to 28 days) and in compliance with GLP. The effect assessment of this 28 days exposure test was based on mortality and symptoms of toxicity. The fish (one vessel per concentration, containing 10 fish each) were exposed to nominal concentrations of 0.025, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4 and 0.8 mg/L of the test substance. The mean measured concentrations, determined by gas chromatography, were determined to be 0.023, 0.046, 0.10, 0.20, 0.40 and 0.79 mg/L, respectively. Mortalities were recorded daily and symptoms of toxicity were recorded on days 4, 7, 10, 14, 21 and 28.
At mean measured concentrations of 0.10, 0.20, 0.40, 0.79 mg/L, mortalities at the end of the exposure were 10%, 10%, 20% and 70%, respectively. No mortalities were shown after 28 days exposure at a mean measured concentration of 0.023 and 0.046 mg/L of the test substance. The threshold levels of lethal effects was determined at 0.10 mg/L. The increase in weight by day 28, of the dilution water and solvent control fish was 53 and 70% respectively. The change in weight of surviving fish for all test concentrations by day 28 ranged from -26 to + 13%. It is therefore concluded that fish weight gain was reduced at all test concentrations in comparison with the controls. Based on these findings, the NOEC of the test was determined to be <0.023 mg/L on the basis of mean measured concentrations.
