The stock solution was prepared with dilution water 1 d before test start by stirring at approximately 1100 rpm for 24 h at room temperature. The stock solution was removed by siphoning from the approximate center of the water body after 1 h separation time.

- Conclusions:
- The guideline study resulted in an EC50 (48 h) of 8.30 mg/L for aquatic invertebrates (OECD 202, D. magna).
- Executive summary:
The short-term toxicity of the test item to aquatic invertebrates was assessed according to OECD guideline 202 and GLP. In a static test using closed test vessels without headspace, Daphnia magna was exposed to five nominal test item concentrations ranging from 1.25 to 20.0 mg/L in a geometric series with a dilution factor of 2. Test item concentrations in all treatment levels were analytically verified in fresh media at the beginning of the test (0 h) and in aged media at the end of the test (48 h) by GC-MS. The measured test item concentrations in fresh media at 0 h ranged from 1.08 to 17.1 mg/L. The measured test item concentrations in aged media at 48 h ranged from 91 – 100% of the measured initial concentrations in the fresh media, indicating that test item concentrations were stable throughout the duration of the test. Therefore, all effect concentrations were based on the measured initial concentrations of the test item. After 48 h immobilization was observed and an EC50 (48 h) of 8.30 mg/L was obtained.

Additional information
There is one study available, in which the short-term toxicity of the test item to aquatic invertebrates was assessed according to OECD guideline 202 and GLP.
In a static test using closed test vessels without headspace, Daphnia magna was exposed to five nominal test item concentrations ranging from 1.25 to 20.0 mg/L in a geometric series with a dilution factor of 2. Test item concentrations in all treatment levels were analytically verified in fresh media at the beginning of the test (0 h) and in aged media at the end of the test (48 h) by GC-MS.
The measured test item concentrations in fresh media at 0 h ranged from 1.08 to 17.1 mg/L. The measured test item concentrations in aged media at 48 h ranged from 91 – 100% of the measured initial concentrations in the fresh media, indicating that test item concentrations were stable throughout the duration of the test. Therefore, all effect concentrations were based on the measured initial concentrations of the test item.
After 48 h immobilization was observed and an EC50 (48 h) of 8.30 mg/L was obtained.
