- Analytical monitoring:

- Details on sampling:
- - Sampling method: The concentration and stability of the test material in the test preparations were verified by chemical analysis at 0 and 72 hours. A volume of test sample was eluted through the cartridge. The test material was eluted from the cartridge with acetonitrile and prepared for subsequent GC-FID analysis.
- Vehicle:
- no
- Details on test solutions:
- For the purpose of the definitive test, the test material was dissolved directly in culture medium with the aid of prolonged stirring.
An amount of test material (1100 mg) was dispersed in 11 litres of culture medium and stirred using a propeller stirrer at approximately 1500 rpm for 24 hours to give the required test concentration of 100 mg/L. A series of dilutions was made from this solution to give further stock solutions of 32, 10, 3.2 and 1.0 mg/L. An aliquot (900 mL) of each of the stock solutions was separately inoculated with algal suspension (4.5 mL) to give the required test concentrations of 1.0, 3.2, 10, 32 and 100 mg/L.
The stock solutions and each of the prepared concentrations were inverted several times to ensure adequate mixing and homogeneity. - Test organisms (species):
- Desmodesmus subspicatus (previous name: Scenedesmus subspicatus)

32 mg/L: 9.2
100 mg/L: 9.6 - Nominal and measured concentrations:
- Nominal concentrations: 1.0, 3.2, 10, 32 and 100 mg/L.
Due to the rapid hydrolysis of the test item, steady measured concentrations of the test item were not achievable. The hydrolysis products could not be detected by the analytical method due to possible but unconfirmed adsorption to surfaces. - Details on test conditions:

- Details on results:
- Due to the rapid hydrolysis of the test item, steady measured concentrations of the test item were not achievable. The hydrolysis products could not be detected by the analytical method due to possible but unconfirmed adsorption to surfaces.
- Reported statistics and error estimates:
- Statistical analysis of the area under the growth curve data was carried out for the control and all test concentrations using one way analysis of variance incorporating Bartlett's test for homogeneity of variance and Dunnett's multiple comparison procedure for comparing several treatments with a control.
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The effect of the test material on the growth of Scenedesmus subspicatus has been investigated over a 72-hour period and gave an ErC50 (0 - 72 h) value of 12 mg/L; 95 % confidence limits 9.7-15 mg/L. The No Observed Effect Concentration at 72 hours was 1.0 mg/L.
- Executive summary:
A study was performed to assess the effect of the test material on the growth of the green alga Scenedesmus subspicatus, according to OECD Guideline No 201 and the EU Method C.3. Following a preliminary range-finding test, Scenedesmus subspicatus was exposed to an aqueous solution of the test material at concentrations of 1.0, 3.2, 10, 32 and 100 mg/L (three replicate flasks per concentration) for 72 hours, under constant illumination and shaking at a temperature of 24 ± 1 °C. Samples of the algal populations were removed daily and cell concentrations determined for each control and treatment group, using a Coulter® Multisizer Particle Counter.
Exposure of Scenedesmus subspicatus to the test material gave an ErC50 (0 - 72 h) value of 12 mg/L; 95% confidence limits 9.7 - 15 mg/L.
The No Observed Effect Concentration was 1.0 mg/L.
All reported biological results are related to the nominal concentrations. Due to the rapid hydrolysis of the test item, steady measured concentrations of the test item were not achievable. The hydrolysis products could not be detected by the analytical method due to possible but unconfirmed adsorption to surfaces.
