Constituent 1
Sampling and analysis
- Analytical monitoring:
- yes
- Details on sampling:
- - Concentrations: 0.1 mL
- Sampling method: The aliquot volume for all samples analysed was 0.1 mL, which was removed using a disposable 1.0 mL syringe inserted through the septum seal of the vial cap. The aliquot was then transferred to a capped septum sealed vial containing 10 mL of Milli Q water for analysis.
- Sample storage conditions before analysis: At test termination, all test chambers were collected without opening the vial and were shipped overnight for analysis. Samples were recieved December 1, 2012. Upon receipt of the samples, they were centrifuged at 1500 rpm for 90 minutes. After centrifugation, the samples were allowed to sit at ambient laboratory conditions for over 24 hours before analysis.
Test solutions
- Details on test solutions:
- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
- Method: Test solutions were prepared individually for each replicate in 40mL glass vials. Each vial had been filled with ~40 mL dilution medium. A 25-uL aliquot of the test substance was measured with a gas-tight glass microliter syringe and injected into the 40 mL dilution medium. The vials were then brought to volume with dilution medium until a positive meniscus was present and then sealed with bonded septa caps and secured with plastic stretchable tape. The vials were placed on a orbital shaker table (100 rev/min for 138 hours at 30 °C). After incubation, the sealed vials were centrifuged for 90 min at 1600 rpm to condense the unsolubilized test substance into a single droplet. Vials were inoculated by unsealing test vials, removing a 1.0 mL aliquot and adding a 1.0 mL of the appropriate inoculum, and resealing immediately to limit the loss of the test substance.
- Controls: Test medium without test substance or other additives
- Evidence of undissolved material (e.g. precipitate, surface film, etc): A clear ball of test substance was observed on the bottom of each replicate chamber.
Test organisms

TEST MEDIUM / WATER PARAMETERS
- Source/preparation of dilution water: Reverse-osmisis water is passed through a series of deionization tanks, a laboratory water purification system consisting of carbon, de-mineralization, and organic adsorption cartridges, and then through a 0.2 µm filter.
- Water quality parameters: all pesticides, PCBs and organophosphate concentrations were below method detection limit. Element and nitrate concentrations were either below method detection limit or within the laboratory historical range (1998 - 2012).
- Culture medium different from test medium: Yes. Test medium was supplemented with approximately 500 mg of NaHCO3/L to minimize pH shift during the exposure period.
- Intervals of water quality measurement: Interval not provided. Most recent report dated February 2012
OTHER TEST CONDITIONS
- Sterile test conditions: Yes
- Adjustment of pH: No

EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED (with observation intervals if applicable) :
- Other: Replicates were sampled for cell density determination using a gas-tight microliter syringe and piercing the septa cap. Minimal volume of ~10 µL was removed at each sampling event (24, 48, & 72 hours, ± 1 hour). Cell densities were determined using a hemacytometer and an optical microscope. In addition, microscopic examination was conducted to evaluate for any morphological or physical effects on algal cells. - Reference substance (positive control):

- Details on results:
- Exponential growth in the control: Yes (Figure 1)
- Growth in controls (validity criteria):
- cell density increase through 72-hours: factor of >16
- % coefficient of variance in section-specific growth rates to hour 72: 4% (Table 1)
- % coefficient of variance in average specific growth rate at hour 72: 0% (Table 3)
Any visual signs of phytotoxicity (abnormalities): Observation was done at 24, 48, and 72 hours (± 1 hour) and no abnormalities were noted in the report.
- Any stimulation of growth found in any treatment: No
- Any observations (e.g. precipitation) that might cause a difference between measured and nominal values: Test substance is very volatile and very difficult to keep in water. Test substance maintained in test chambers well in excess of water solubility. This was done to ensure that the concentration remained at saturation during the entire 72-hour exposure period.
- Effect concentrations exceeding solubility of substance in test medium: yes - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- All statistical analyses were performed with SAS software. The NOEC values, based on growth rate from time zero and yield, were estimated using a oneway analysis of variance (ANOVA) procedure and a one-tailed Dunnett’s test (p = 0.05) where the alternate hypothesis was the mean for the growth parameter was reduced in comparison to the control. Prior to the Dunnett’s test, a Shapiro-Wilk’s test and a Levene’s test were conducted to test for normality and homogeneity of variance, respectively, over treatments at each time point. If the results from the Shapiro-Wilk’s and Levene’s tests indicated normality and insignificant heterogeneity (i.e., p > 0.01), the analysis was performed on the non-transformed raw data. In instances of non-normality or heterogeneity (i.e., p < 0.01), a square root transformation was performed. If both the non-transformed raw data and the transformed data exhibited non-normality or inequality of variance, a non-parametric analysis of variance was performed on the ranks of the raw data values. A parametric analysis was performed on all specific growth rate from time zero data and all yield data.
The specific growth rate in each treatment was calculated for each period, i.e., 0 to 24, 0 to 48, and 0 to 72 hours. Yield in each treatment was calculated for each period, i.e., 24, 48, and 72 hours.
The ErC50 and EyC50 values were estimated to be greater than the FC-3284 treatment level based on the lack of statistically significant reduction in growth rate from time zero or yield compared to the control treatment.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Remarks:
- Cell density increased within 72 hours by average factor of >16. Control cultures mean coefficient of variation section-by-section specific growth rates < 35%. Control cultures coefficient of variation of specific growth rates during whole test < 7%.
- Conclusions:
- The 72-hour EC50 of FC-3284 to Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata is greater than 0.583 mg/L. The 72-hour NOEC of FC-3284 to Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata is 0.583 mg/L.
- Executive summary:
Using a loading rate of 971 mg/L for FC-3284, no statistically significant reduction in yield were observed after 72 hours of exposure. The test substance was maintained in closed test chambers well in excess of water solubility. This was done to ensure that the concentration remained at saturation during the entire 72-hour exposure period. This test substance is very volatile and very difficult to keep in water. The 72-hour EC50 of FC-3284 to Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata was greater than 0.583 mg/L based on the effect parameter of growth rate inhibition.
The study was performed in accordance with internationally-accepted test guidelines and Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) standards. This study is reliable without restrictions and the results are suitable for purposes of Risk Assessment, Classification & Labeling, and PBT Analysis.
