- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
The Water Accommodated Fractions (WAFs) for the Range-Finding- and Definite Daphnia-Test with Bis-(isopropyl)naphthalene were prepared by
stirring various amounts of the test item in Daphnia-medium for 24 h with magnetic stirrers.
The WAFs were prepared in closed 2 L decanters. The test loading rates of Bis-(isopropyl)naphthalene were weighed in weighing scoops that
afterwards were placed into the decanters. The decanters were then filled with Daphnia medium and closed immediately.
The mixing was carried out at a speed that was slow enough not to cause dispersion or emulsification of the undissolved fraction of the test item.
To ensure this, the vortex developed at the surface by stirring was set at ~ 10 % of the water depth. After stirring for 24 h the WAFs were allowed
to stand for 1 h before use to facilitate phase separation and were then transferred directly into the test vessels, i.e. 50 mL glass vessels.
The test vessels were closed with ground-in glass stoppers directly after the transfer. - Test organisms (species):

TEST CONCENTRATIONS
- Preparation of test material: The test item Bis-(isopropyl)naphthalene is a liquid poorly soluble in water comprising volatile components. To avoid
adverse physical effects of undissolved or emulsified test material on the animals, the test was carried out with aqueous extracts
(WAF = Water Accommodated Fraction) at various loading rates in Daphnia-medium.

Additional information
No short-term aquatic invertebrate toxicity study concerning only 2,6-diisopropylnaphthalene (2,6-DIPN) was available.
Therefore an acute study on Daphnia magna using Bis(isopropyl)naphthalene (DIPN) was used in a read-across in accordance to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 Annex XI, 1.5 approach for assessment of the acute toxicity towards aquatic invertebrates of 2,6-DIPN. Bis(isopropyl)naphthalene (DIPN) is an isomeric mixture, which consists of seven isomers (1,3-, 1,4-, 1,5-, 1,6-, 2,6- and 2,7-DIPN).
The study from Aniol et al. (2012) used for assessment of acute toxicity towards aquatic invertebrates was performed under GLP conditions according to OECD Guideline 202 using five treatments from 1.0 - 25 mg/L (nominal loadings) prepared as water accommodated fractions. Twenty Daphnia divided into 4 replicates per treatment and control were tested in none aerated glass beakers. A semi-static test design with a medium exchange after 24 hours was used. Due to the very low solubility of Bis(isopropyl)naphthalene, no analytical determination using TOC was possible. All validity criteria stated in OECD Guideline 202 were fulfilled.
After 48 h the EL50 was determined as 1.7 mg/L based on nominal loadings.
