Materials and methods
Test guideline
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- other: ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials). 1988. Guide for Conducting Static Acute Toxicity Tests with Fishes, Macroinvertebrates, and Amphibians. Annual Book of ASTM Standards. Volume 1..04.E 729 -88el.
- GLP compliance:
- no
Test material
- Reference substance name:
- 2,2'-oxydiethanol
- EC Number:
- 203-872-2
- EC Name:
- 2,2'-oxydiethanol
- Cas Number:
- 111-46-6
- Molecular formula:
- C4H10O3
- IUPAC Name:
- 2,2'-oxydiethanol
- Test material form:
- other: clear liquid
- Details on test material:
- Diethylene glycol was purchased from Sigma Chemical Company (St. Louis, MO). The test substance was contained in opaque polypropylene containers (4 L size) or in amber glass bottles (1 L size). Prior to use in toxicity tests, the test substance was stored in darkness at room temperature. The test substance was analytical grade and was tested 100% active ingredient.

- Specific details on test material used for the study:
- Details on properties of test surrogate or analogue material (migrated information):
Not applicable.
Sampling and analysis
- Analytical monitoring:
- yes
- Details on sampling:
- Chemical analyses were conducted at MDS Environmental Services (Environmental Laboratory, Mississauga, Ontario) with samples collected during the toxicity testing phase (at the beginning and end of each exposure period for each concentration, or when there was complete mortality of test organisms). Submission of samples for chemical analysis were selected based on test organism response (to bracket the concentration with no mortality, partial mortality, and/or complete mortality). Samples from control solutions were submitted for chemical analysis from the end of the test and for "background check" only. Chemical analyses were conducted for each replicate for each concentration bracketing the LC50 concentration. Glycol analyses were conducted using GC/FID direct aqueous injection.
Test solutions
- Vehicle:
- no
- Details on test solutions:
- Dilution water quality was continuously monitored and documented. Laboratory dilution water was analyzed for metals, organic and inorganic chemicals according to various daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual schedules, as appropriate for each parameter.
All aqueous testing is conducted using the well-established practice of negative (clean) controls consisting of organisms handled and treated in an identical manner to sample exposed organisms but exposed only to dilution water (i.e., no test substance).
Test organisms
- Test organisms (species):
- Xenopus laevis
- Details on test organisms:
- Adult Zenopus laevis (African clawed frog) were obtained from Carolina Biological Supply. The adults were injected with chlorionic gonadotropin hormone, and were mated to produce fertilized eggs in-house. Juvenile frogs were raised from eggs until the appropriate stage was reached.
Study design

Duplicate test vessels
Test vessels were plastic, 200 ml - Reference substance (positive control):
- no
