Additional information
The influence of Boron orthophosphate (CAS 13308-51-5) on acute toxicity of fish of the species Danio rerio was investigated in a semi static OECD 203 test under GLP conditions.
Effects on survival were determined after 3, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours. Samples of fresh and aged test solutions were measured for total boron concentrations. Since the test item is of low water solubility, the test media were prepared using the Water Accommodated Faction (WAF) approach according to the OECD guidance documents No. 23 and 29 to obtain the maximal solubility of the test item under the test conditions. The aqueous solutions were prepared individually by addition of respective amount of test substance to dilution water. Subsequently the insoluble parts were separated respectively by filtration using 0.2 µm membranes, and obtaining the nominal concentrations of 6.25, 12.5, 25, 50 and 100 mg/L. For the determination of fish acute mortality a total of seven fish in a single replicate of each test concentration and a control were exposed. The concentrations of boron in the test media were determined at the start and at the end of the test using ICP-OES (LOQ 3.58 μg B/L). At test start and in fresh media at renewal, the measured boron concentrations were between 0.7 and 2.2 % of nominal loading. The boron concentration maintained stable in all test solutions throughout the test period (0.8 – 2.2 % in aged media). During the preparation of test solution, it was observed that the test substance achieved the maximum solubility in the test media, but dissolved boron concentration was increased with increasing of the nominal test substance concentrations. This indicted that the dissolved boron did not achieve saturation. Thus, the test results are reported with both nominal test substance concentrations and the measured boron concentrations respectively. The mean measured boron concentrations were 0.008, 0.014, 0.021 0.048 and 0.207 mg/L (between 0.8 and 2.0 % of nominal loading). There were no concentration-dependent effects on survival up to the highest test concentrations of 0.207 mg boron per liter. The LC50 value for mortality was set to be higher than the highest test concentration of 0.207 mg boron per liter (> 100 mg/L test item nominal).
