- Physical state: Colourless liquid
- Analytical purity: 99.3 % - Analytical monitoring:
- yes
- Remarks:
- Due to the nature of the test item, a TOC analysis was performed.
- Details on sampling:
- The test subtance is extremely unstable in water and immediatly decomposes into ethylmethyl carbamic acid. An analytical method using LC-MS was attempted in several conditions i.e. basic/acidic/neutral, organic/aqueous, APCI/ESI, positive/negative but it was not possible to develop such analytical method. Therefore a total organic carbon (TOC) analysis was used as a surrogate measurement.

- no
- Details on test solutions:

- Conclusions:
- The test item did not induce acute immobilisation of Daphnia Magna at nominal concentration of 100 mg/L after 48 hours of exposure. The 48 h-NOEC for the test item was 100 mg/L.
- Executive summary:
An acute immobilisation study with daphnia magna was conducted with the test item according to the OECD 202 under GLP conditions. A combined limit/range-finding test was performed. Twenty daphnia (five daphnids per vessel, four vessels) were exposed to control medium or 100 mg/L of the test item in medium for 48 hours under static conditions. In addition, ten daphnia (five daphnids per vessel, two vessels) were exposed to 0.1, 1 or 10 mg/L of test item. pH, temperature and oxygen concentrations were measured. Due to the highly reactive nature of the test item with water, a conventional chromatography-based method for the analytical determination of the concentration was not possible, so a TOC analysis was used as a surrogate. The test substance did not induce acute immobilisation of Daphnia magna at nominal concentration of 100 mg/L after 48 hours of exposure. The 48 h-NOEC was defined as 100 mg/L and the 48h-EC50 as >100 mg/L.
