- Type and amount of food: Cultures were fed daily with a suspension of the unicellular green algae, Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, to provide nominally 0.1 to 0.2 mg carbon per daphnid, per day, except during the initial three days when a slightly lower ration was given

All other concentrations appeared as a colourless solutions with particulate matter at base of the media. The quantity of particulate matter appeared to be concentration related after 48 hours.
- Alkalinity: 47 mg/L as CaCO3
- Culture medium different from test medium: Both culture and test media stated to be Elendt M4

EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED (with observation intervals if applicable) : The numbers of mobile, immobile and floating Daphnia were counted approximately 24 and 48 hours after the start of the study
TEST CONCENTRATIONS
- Spacing factor for test concentrations: 2.2
- Range finding study
A range finding test was followed by a main test (originally planned as the definitive test) and the definitive test. The main test was considered to be invalid due to abnormally high levels of floating daphnia in the control group. The range finding test employed nominal test concentrations of 10 and 100 mg/L. After 48 hours, all surviving Daphnia at 100 mg/L were pale and 30% were immobile, at 10 mg/L, 10% of the Daphnia were immobile - Reference substance (positive control):
- no
- Duration:
- 48 h
- Dose descriptor:
- EC50
- Effect conc.:
- > 100 mg/L
- Nominal / measured:
- nominal
- Conc. based on:
- test mat.
- Basis for effect:
- mobility
- Duration:
- 48 h
- Dose descriptor:
- NOEC
- Effect conc.:
- 100 mg/L
- Nominal / measured:
- nominal
- Conc. based on:
- test mat.
- Basis for effect:
- mobility
- Details on results:
- - Behavioural abnormalities: After 48 hours, 10% immobility had occurred in the test medium prepared at the nominal concentration of 100 mg/L. At the interim concentration of 20.7 mg/L, 15% immobility occurred. Since no immobility occurred at 45.5 mg/L, the result at 20.7mg/L was not considered to be treatment related or of biological significance.
- Effect concentrations exceeding solubility of substance in test medium: WAFs used - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- - Results with reference substance valid? Reference substannce not used
- Reported statistics and error estimates:
- Statistical analysis was performed using the SAFEStat LD50 application, SAS 8.2 (SAS Institute, 1999). Test results were expressed in terms of the nominal loading rate based on the nominal concentrations of the aqueous mixtures from which the test media (WAFs) were prepared. 95% confidence limits were unavailable.
The “no observed effect concentration” (NOEC) was derived by direct inspection of the data on the immobility of the animals. An incidence rate of more than 10% is usually considered to be significant. - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- not applicable
- Conclusions:
- The test item was not found to be acutely toxic to Daphnia magna when tested as a WAF of a maximum loading rate of 100mg/L. Therefore the 48-hour EC50 of test item for the immobilisation of Daphnia magna could not be determined but must be >100 mg/L.
The ‘no-observed effect concentration’ of test item with Daphnia Magna was 100 mg/L - Executive summary:
The acute toxicity of test item to Daphnia magna was assessed under static exposure conditions. The study was conducted in accordance with OECD 202. Groups of twenty Daphnia, less than 24 hours old, were exposed for 48 hours to water accommodated fractions (WAF) of test item, prepared from aqueous mixtures with initial nominal concentrations of 4.27, 9.39, 20.7, 45.5 and 100 mg/L. The test media were prepared in Elendt M4 medium and to aid dissolution/dispersion, a solvent (Dimethylsulphoxide) and overnight stirring were employed. Observations of the Daphnia in each control and test vessel were made after approximately 24 and 48 hours. After 48 hours, at most only 15% immobility occurred at an interim concentration of 20.7 mg/L and this was not considered to be treatment related or of biological significance. Based on these findings the following values have been estimated: 48 -hour EC50 value : >100 mg/L; “No observed effect concentration” : 100 mg/L.
