- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
-Nominal amounts of test item (20, 20 and 200 mg) were separately added to the surface of 20, 2 and 2 liters of test water to give the 1.0, 10 and 100 mg/L loading rates respectively. After the addition of the test item, the test water was stirred by magnetic stirrer using a stirring rate such that a vortex was formed to give a dimple at the water surface. The stirring was stopped after 95 hours and the mixtures allowed to stand for 1 hour. As a precautionary measure, it was considered justifiable to remove the WAFs by filtering through a glass wool plug (2 to 4 cm in length). A wide bore glass tube, covered at one end with Nescofilm was submerged into the vessel, sealed end down, to a depth of approximately 5 cm from the bottom of the vessel. A length of Tygon tubing was inserted into the glass tube and pushed through the Nescofilm seal. A glass wool plug was inserted into the opposite end of the tubing and the WAF removed by mid-depth siphoning (the first approximate 75 to 100 mL discarded) to give the 1.0, 10 and 100 mg/L loading rate WAFs. Observations on the media conducted after filtration suggested that no undissolved material remained in solution.

- For the parental Generation (P1):
Mortality (immobilization) occurred predominantly at the highest test loading rates of 1.8, 3.2 and 5.6 mg/L resulting in 100% mortality by Days 13, 2 and 2 respectively. Significant mortality (immobilization) also occurred throughout the test in the 1.0 mg/L loading rate WAF group resulting in 50% mortality by Day 15.
Mortality was also observed at the test loading rate of 0.56 mg/L on Day 4. However, statistical analysis of the mortality data using the Step-down Cochran-Armitage Test Procedure showed that the observed mortality in the 0.56 mg/L loading rate WAF group was not significantly different (P≥0.05) when compared to the control group, consequently, this mortality was classed as an inadvertent mortality for the purposes of the statistical analysis.
Some adult daphnia in the 0.56 mg/L loading rate were observed to be small and pale on Day 15, 19 and 20, in the 1.0 mg/L loading rate test group on Days 12, 13 and 15 to 20, and in the 1.8 mg/L loading rate test group on Day 12.
The daphnids at the remaining test concentrations were observed to be in the same general condition as the control daphnids.
The results for the length of the surci==viving adults showed that there were statistically significant differences (P≥0.05) between the control and the 0.56, 1.0, 1.8, 3.2 and 5.6 mg/L test groups in terms of length of the daphnids after 21 days exposure to the test item.
For effects on reproduction - after 21 days there were no statistically significant differences between the control and the 0.56 mg/L loading rate WAF group in terms of the number of live young produced per adult. The 1.0, 1.8, 3.2 and 5.6 mg/L loading rate WAF groups showed a statistically significant difference from the control after 21 days in terms of producing fewer numbers of live young per adult.
Effects on the Filial Generation (F1)
an assessment made at each media renewal showed the "filial" daphnids produced by all the test groups were in the same general condition as the young produced by the controls over the duration of the test with the exception of young produced by one replicate in the 0.56 mg/L loading rate on Day 12 where small young were observed, and on Day 15 when pale young were observed, in the 1.0 mg/L loading rate group on Day 12 where small and pale young were observed and in the 1.8 mg/L loading rate on Day 12 were small and pale young were observed.
Young were first produced in the control test group on Day 8 of the test.
Due to the toxic effect of the test item the parental generation (P1) of the 3.2 and 5.6 mg/L loading rate WAF groups were eliminated prior to the production of young.
There were no unhatched eggs or dead young in any control or treatment groups surviving to maturation. - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- Exposure of Daphnia magna to the test item resulted in significant mortalities at the loading rates of 1.0, 1.8, 3.2 and 5.6 mg/L resulting in 50%, 100%, 100% and 100% mortalities by Days 15, 13, 2 and 2 respectively.
The 21-Day EL50 (immobilization) value, based on nominal loading rates, for the parental daphnia generation (P1) was calculated to be 0.93 mg/L with 95% confidence limits of 0.72 – 1.2 mg/L.
The 21-Day EL50 (reproduction) based on nominal loading rates was 0.88 mg/L with 95% confidence limits of 0.80 – 0.97 mg/L.
The Lowest Observed Effect Loading Rate and the No Observed Effect Loading Rate based on nominal loading rates were 1.0 and 0.56 mg/L respectively. - Endpoint:
- long-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates

- REPORTING FORMAT FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH
1. HYPOTHESIS FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH
This read-across is based on the hypothesis that source and target substances have the same type of toxicological effects based on common underlying mechanisms (ECHA, 2015b). All substances have the same organic structural group (colorant) with different compositions of the inorganic group (metallic salt). Read-across is in this case based on the hypothesis that source and target substances have similar toxicological properties because they degrade to the similar chemical substances (ECHA, 2015c). This prediction is supported by physicochemical and toxicological data on the substances.

3. ANALOGUE APPROACH JUSTIFICATION
The target substance CAS 67989-22-4 is an organometallic multi-constituent substance. The source substance CAS 101357-19-1 has the same organic constituent (see table above) as the target substance consisting of triphenylmethan and three dimethylamine moieties. The inorganic Part B is very similar between source and target substances, consisting of the elements O, Mo, P and W in different compositions. These differences are expected to behave very similar. The target and source substances are thus considered suitable for the analogue approach based on structural similarity. - Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
