- Details on sampling:
- - Concentrations: 0, 100 mg/l
- Sampling method: Duplicate samples of the loading rates were taken at the start and end of the 72 hour exposure period.

- Details on test solutions:
- The test concentrations (loading rates) for both the range-finding and definitive tests were prepared separately following the direct addition method as described in the OECD guidance document on aquatic toxicity testing of difficult substances and mixtures no. 23. Calculated weights of test sample were weighed into aspirators containing media to provide enough solution for testing and subsequent water quality measurements. The loading rates were stirred on magnetic stirrers for 22 hours in the range-finding test and 70 hours and 15 minutes in the definitive test and left to settle for 4 hours and 20 minutes in the range-finding test and 26 hours and 45 minutes in the definitive test. After settling, the aqueous phase was drawn off for testing and filtered through Whatman 54 filters, discarding the first 100-120ml of solution and thereby saturating the filter before removal of test dilutions.

- Conclusions:
- The 72-hour ErL50 and EyL50 of dibenzylbenzene, ar-methyl derivative, hydrogenated to Raphidocelis subcapitata were both >100mg/l (determined by Linear Interpolation). The 72-hour NOEL(r) was determined to be 100mg/l and the 0-72 hour LOEL was >100 mg/l (by homoscedastic t-test, 1-tail, P=0.05).
- Executive summary:
The test was performed according to the OECD 201 (2011) guideline and in compliance with GLP. The test substance was insoluble in water therefore preparation of loading rates was performed by direct addition and an extended mixing period according to OECD Guidance Document 23. The growth curves demonstrated that the algae in the control and at 100mg/l dibenzylbenzene, ar-methyl derivative, hydrogenated were in logarithmic growth for the duration of the study. The algal cells were examined microscopically during the determination of cell concentration. All cells within the control and test loading rate of 100mg/l appeared normal, no abnormalities were observed. All validity criteria for the definitive test were met. The test substance, dibenzylbenzene, ar-methyl derivative, hydrogenated, was not detected by HPLC-UV analysis in the freshly prepared exposure solutions, or in samples taken after 72-hours exposure (no peaks were seen at the 100mg/l loading rate). All concentrations of the test substance therefore are reported as nominal as received, expressed as loading rates from direct addition.
The 72-hour ErL50 and EyL50 of dibenzylbenzene, ar-methyl derivative, hydrogenated to Raphidocelis subcapitata were both >100mg/l (determined by Linear Interpolation). The 72-hour NOEL(r) was determined to be 100mg/l and the 0-72 hour LOEL was >100 mg/l (by homoscedastic t-test, 1-tail, P=0.05).
