- The EC50 was calculated as a logit analysis according the procedure of Unkelbach and Wolf (1985) using the PC-program 511.
In case that due to some extraordinary constellation of the study results - as often is the case, if small numbers of animals are used - the usual logit analysis cannot be applied. A modification of the logit analysis applying the so-called "l/(2n)-rule" (cf Cobb and Church, 1983) is performed. (I.e. at the highest dose with 0 % responders the mortality rate is replaced by l/(2n), and at the lowest dose with 100 % responders the rate is replaced by l-l/(2n), n being the number of animals used.) All estimates in which this procedure was employed are marked by #. - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The study was conducted under GLP according to OECD Guideline 202 and EU Method C.2 on the registered substance itself. The method is to be considered scientifically reasonable with no deficiencies in documentation or deviations from the guidelines, the validity criteria were met. Hence, the results can be considered as reliable to assess the toxicity of the test substance towards daphnids.
Daphnia magna were exposed to five test material concentrations of nominal 1 - 23 mg/L beside a control with reconstituted water only for 48 hours under defined conditions. In this closed static test system, daphniae exposed to concentrations of 5 to 23 mg/L showed immobilisation, whereas the concentrations of 1 and 2 mg/L revealed no biological effect.
The limit of quantification of the analytical method (HPLC-UV) was about 0.02 mg/L. At the start, the analytically determined concentrations were about 16 - 20 % of the nominal concentrations. At the end of the experimental part, the analytically determined test material concentrations were 17-21 % of the nominal concentrations. During the experimental phase of the study, the test material concentrations could be maintained at > 80 % of the initial.
Based on mean measured concentrations of the test item, the EC50 values with the 95 % confidence intervals and the no observed effect concentration (NOEC) were determined to be: 24h EC50 = 1.8 (1.5 - 2.1) mg/L, 48h EC50 = 1.2 (1.0 - 1.4) mg/L, NOEC = 0.4 mg/L. - Executive summary:
The objective of this study was to determine the acute toxicity of the test material using Daphnia magna. The GLP compliant study was performed according to OECD TG 202 and EU Method C.2.
Young Daphnia magna were exposed to aqueous test material concentrations under defined conditions. Due to the poor recovery of the test material after 48 in an open test system, a closed static test system was chosen.
The study comprised of four vessels per concentration containing five Daphnia magna, i.e., 20 Daphnia per concentration (test medium group). The Daphnia were observed for immobilisation up to 48 hours. Test material concentrations of nominal 1, 2, 5, 11, and 23 mg/L were used.
The limit of quantification of the analytical method was about 0.02 mg/L. At the start, the analytically determined concentrations were about 16 - 20 % of the nominal concentrations. At the end of the experimental part, the analytically determined test material concentrations were 17 - 21 % of the nominal concentrations. During the experimental phase of the study, the test material concentrations could be maintained at > 80 % of the initial.
The EC50 values with the 95 % confidence intervals and the no observed effect concentration (NOEC) based on mean measured concentrations of the test material are given below.
24h EC50 = 1.8 mg/L (95 % confidence intervals: 1.5 - 2.1 mg/L)
48h EC50 = 1.2 mg/L (95 % confidence intervals: 1.0 - 1.4 mg/L)
NOEC = 0.4 mg/L
Concluding the test material, solved in reconstituted water, was tested in a closed static test system. Under the given conditions of this study the 48 h EC50 value for the nominal and analytical concentration was in the range of 1.0 to 10.0 mg/L.

Additional information
The objective of this study was to determine
the acute toxicity of the test material using Daphnia magna. For
this purpose, young Daphnia magna were exposed to aqueous test
material concentrations under defined conditions. Due to the poor
recovery of the test material after 48 in an open test system, a closed
static test system was chosen.
The study comprised of four vessels per
concentration containing five Daphnia magna, i.e., 20 Daphnia per
concentration (test medium group). The Daphnia were observed for
immobilisation up to 48 hours. Test material concentrations of nominal
1, 2, 5, 11, and 23 mg/L were used.
The GLP compliant study was performed
according to OECD TG 202 and EU Method C.2.
The limit of quantification of the
analytical method was about 0.02 mg/L. At the start, the analytically
determined concentrations were about 16 - 20 % of the nominal
concentrations. At the end of the experimental part, the analytically
determined test material concentrations were 17 - 21 % of the nominal
concentrations. During the experimental phase of the study, the test
material concentrations could be maintained at > 80 % of the initial.
The EC50values with the 95 % confidence intervals and the no
observed effect concentration (NOEC) based on mean measured
concentrations of the test material are given below.

48h EC50 = 1.2 (1.0 - 1.4) mg/L
NOEC = 0.4 mg/L
Concluding the test material, solved in reconstituted water, was tested in a closed static test system. Under the given conditions of this study the 48 h EC50 value for the nominal and analytical concentration was in the range of 1.0 to 10.0 mg/L.
