Sampling and analysis
- Analytical monitoring:

- Details on sampling:
- - Concentrations:
- Sampling method: Duplicate 10 mL samples were collected from the control, vehicle control, and test substance treatment at 0 and 48 hours. The 0 hour samples were collected directly from the parent solutions. The 48 hour samples were comprised of pooled 5 mL volumes collected from
each A and B replicate and pooled 5 mL volumes collected from each C and D replicate. QC samples were prepared by fortifying 10 mL of dilution water with C-4000 at concentrations of 0.0400 and 0.0572 mg whole product/L at 0 hour and at concentrations of 0.286 and 0.400 mg whole product/L at 48 hours. A 6 mL volume of each 10 mL sample was then diluted with 4 mL of methanol and a 1 mL sample of the methanol diluted test substance treatment and QC samples were further diluted with 1 mL 40:60 methanol:ABC reagent water.
- Sample storage conditions before analysis: directly analyzed by LC-MS/MS
Test solutions
- Vehicle:
- yes
- Details on test solutions:
- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
- Method: A 100 mg whole product/mL primary standard was prepared by diluting 1.0001 g of C-4000 with acetone to a 10 mL volume. A 0.18 mL volume of the primary standard was added to 1.8 L of dilution water in a 2-L glass aspirator bottle to prepare the test substance treatment. Each 1.8 L volume sealed with parafilm and stirred with a teflon stir bar for approximately 19 hours. The stirring was adjusted to provide a vortex <25% of the solution depth. When stirring was terminated, the phases were allowed to separate for one hour. Following the settling period, the solutions were clear and colorless and an oily-like surface film was present in the 10 mg whole product/L solution. Beginning with the control, followed by the vehicle control and test substance treatment, the lower aqueous phase of each solution (i.e., water-accommodated fraction) was drained from the bottom outlet of each aspirator bottle through a medium porosity glass filter tube. A volume of approximately 100 mL was first drained into a waste bucket and the next volume of approximately 1,000 mL was collected in a glass beaker. The collected volumes were allowed to acclimate to test temperature then transferred to appropriately labeled test chambers.

- Concentration of vehicle in test medium (stock solution and final test solution): not exceeding 100 uL/L
- Evidence of undissolved material (e.g. precipitate, surface film, etc): When stirring was terminated, the phases were allowed to separate for approximately one hour. Following the settling period, the solution was clear and colorless with an oily-like surface film and a few small-spherical globules of material present on the bottom of the aspirator bottle.

- Any observations (e.g. precipitation) that might cause a difference between measured and nominal values: The test substance, C-4000, was not soluble in the dilution water. The nominal loading rate concentration of C-4000 used in the dilution water was 10 mg/L. - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- Statistical analysis of the mean measured concentration versus immobility data was not performed since <10% immobility occurred in the treatment tested. In addition, the slope of the concentration-response line could not be calculated.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- After 48 hours, immobility was 0% in the 0 (control), 0 (vehicle control), and 0.290 mg/L treatments. There were no sublethal effects observed during the exposure. Based on the mean measured concentration, the 48-hour EC50 for Daphnia magna exposed to C-4000 was estimated to be >0.290 mg/L, the highest achievable concentration tested. The 48-hour noobserved- effect concentration was the mean measured concentration of 0.290 mg/L, the highest test substance treatment with no abnormal effects or immobility.
- Executive summary:
A test was conducted to estimate the potential acute toxicity of C-4000 to the water flea, Daphnia magna. Daphnids were exposed for 48 hours under static conditions to nominal loading rates of 0 (control), 0 (vehicle control; 0.10 mL acetone/L), and 10 mg whole product/L C-4000. The guideline followed was the OECD guideline 202. A single test substance treatment was prepared on a weight/volume basis based on whole product. The mean measured concentration of C-4000 in the test substance treatment was 0.290 mg/L which represented 2.9% of the nominal loading rate and 87% of the initial mean measured concentration. No residues of C-4000 were detected in the control or vehicle control solutions above the minimum quantifiable limit of 0.00289 mg/L. Water quality characteristics of temperature, dissolved oxygen concentration, and pH were measured at initiation and termination and remained within acceptable limits throughout the exposure. All test solutions appeared clear and colorless throughout the exposure with no visible particulates, surface film, undissolved test substance, or precipitate. After 48 hours, immobility was 0% in the 0 (control), 0 (vehicle control), and 0.290 mg/L treatments. There were no sublethal effects observed during the exposure. Based on the mean measured concentration, the 48-hour EC50 for Daphnia magna exposed to C-4000 was estimated to be >0.290 mg/L, the highest achievable concentration tested. The 48-hour noobserved- effect concentration was the mean measured concentration of 0.290 mg/L, the highest test substance treatment with no abnormal effects or immobility.
