OTHER TEST CONDITIONS
- Light intensity and quality: white fluorescent lighting (3,870–4,730 lux)
EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED (with observation intervals if applicable) :
- Determination of cell concentrations: Algal growth was measured spectrophotometrically (at 350 nm) at 0, 24, 48, 72, and 96 h using filtered medium as a blank.
TEST CONCENTRATIONS
- Range finding study: Correct appearance of the algal cells was verified by microscopic examination before testing. A range-finding test (0, 0.1, 1.0, 10, 100, and 1,000 mg/L) was conducted to determine the median effective concentration (EC50) and the median effective concentrations for inhibition of algal growth (ErC50) and biomass accumulation (EbC50). Essentially 100% inhibition of algal growth was observed at the two highest concentrations, but no changes in cell appearance were detected at any concentration tested. Accordingly, the definitive test was conducted at 0, 10, 20, 40, 80, and 160 mg/l. - Reference substance (positive control):

- Basis for effect:
- other: Inhibition of algal growth rate and biomass
- Reported statistics and error estimates:
- The average specific growth rate was calculated by dividing the natural log of the change in cells/ml between selected assays by the elapsed time (in hours) between the assays. The percentage inhibition in average cell growth rate was calculated as the difference between the control and each chemical test concentration.
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- not specified
- Conclusions:
- After the exposure of test substance with freshwater algae Selenastrum capricornutum, effects on biomass and growth rate were observed. Based on the biomass inhibition, EC50 was determine to be at 115 mg/l and on the basis of growth rate inhibition the EC50 was determine to be at 72.9 mg/l. The NOEC was observed at 10 mg/l. As the test chemical degrades rapidly in water, thus on the basis of readily biodegradability criteria, test chemical consider to be nontoxic and not classified as per the CLP classification criteria.
- Executive summary:
Short term toxicity study of test chemical on aquatic algae was conducted for 96 hrs. Test performed in accordance with OECD guideline 201. Chemical was analytically monitored by HPLC and spectrophotometer. 10,000 mg/l test compound dissolved in sterile ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) Type II water and prepared stock solutions with different concentrations 0, 10, 20, 40, 80, and 160 mg/l. 125-ml Erlenmeyer flasks were used producing a final volume of 50 ml with 1-ml aliquot of a concentrated cell suspension (7.2 × 104cells/ml). Algal growth was measured spectrophotometrically (at 350 nm) in the interval of 24 hours using filtered medium as a blank. Correct appearance of the algal cells was verified by microscopic examination before testing. A range-finding test (0, 0.1, 1.0, 10, 100, and 1,000 mg/L) was conducted to determine the median effective concentration (EC50) and the median effective concentrations for inhibition of algal growth (ErC50) and biomass accumulation (EbC50). Thus based on the range finding study definitive concentration were selected. Culture was maintained in algal medium at 24 ± 2 °C with illumination of between 4,500 and 4,710 lux. The average specific growth rate was calculated by dividing the natural log of the change in cells/ml between selected assays by the elapsed time (in hours) between the assays. The percentage inhibition in average cell growth rate was calculated as the difference between the control and each chemical test concentration. After the exposure of test substance with freshwater algae Selenastrum capricornutum, effects on biomass and growth rate were observed. Based on the biomass inhibition, EC50 was determine to be at 115 mg/l and on the basis of growth rate inhibition the EC50 was determine to be at 72.9 mg/l. The NOEC was observed at 10 mg/l. As the test chemical degrades rapidly in water, thus on the basis of readily biodegradability criteria, test chemical consider to be nontoxic and not classified as per the CLP classification criteria.
