Sampling and analysis
- Analytical monitoring:
- yes
- Details on sampling:
- For the analytical measurements of the test item concentrations, one sample from the freshly prepared stock solution and duplicate samples from the freshly prepared test media of all test concentrations and from the control were taken just before the start of the test (without algae).
For the determination of the stability of the test item under the test conditions, and for the maintenance of the test item concentrations during the test period respectively, additional flasks with adequate volumes of the freshly prepared test media of all test concentrations and the control were incubated under the same conditions as in the actual test (but without algae). And were sampled in duplicate at the end of the test (after the 72 hours test period).
All samples were deep-frozen (at about -20 °C) immediately after sampling.
The concentrations of the test item were analyzed in the stock solution sample and in the duplicate test media samples from the test concentrations of nominal 10-46 µg/L from both sampling times (0 and 72 hours). From the control samples only one of the duplicate samples was analysed from each of both sampling times (0 and 72 hours). The samples from the test concentrations were below the determined 72-hour NOEC.

- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION
A stock solution of nominal 10 mg/L was prepared by dissolving 20 mg of the test item in 2000 mL test water by ultrasonic treatment (15 minutes) and intense stirring by a magnetic stirrer (72 hours at room temperature in the dark). Adequate volumes of this intensively mixed stock solution were added to test water to prepare the test media of the following nominal test concentrations: 46, 22, 10, 4.6 and 2.2 µg/L. Additionally, a control was tested in parallel (test water without addition of the test item).
No undissolved test item could be evidenced.

- MEASURED CONCENTRATIONS
In the sample from the freshly prepared stock solution 104% of the nominal concentration was measured. In the test media the mean measured test item concentrations at the start of the test ranged from 112 to 124% of the nominal values. During the test period of 72 hours a slight decrease of the test item concentration in the test media was determined. At the end of the test 77 to 114% of the nominal values were found. The losses could be due to an adsorption of the test item onto glass surfaces, particularly in the low-level samples. However, the total mean measured test concentrations (calculated as the average over all measurements per test concentration) varied in the range of 95 to 119% of the nominal values. Therefore, all biological results are related to the nominal concentrations of the test item.
EFFECTS
The test item had a statistically significant inhibition effect on the growth rate of Scenedesmus subspicatus after the exposure period of 72 hours first at the test concentration of 22 µg/L, which was therefore set as LOEC (72 h). Thus, the NOEC (72 h) was 10 µg/L, since up to this test
concentration both the mean biomass and the mean growth rate of the algae were statistically not significantly lower than in the control. Referring to abnomalities, the shape of the algal cells growing up to 10 µg/L was obviously not affected.
CONTROL
In the control the cell density has increased from nominal N = 1 x 10 +E4 cells/mL at the start of the test (0 hours) to N = 95.6 x 10+E4 cells/mL (mean value) after 72 hours by a factor of approximately 96. Thus, the algal growth in the control meets the validity criteria (increase by a factor of at least 16), and growth in the control was exponential.
REMARK
At the start of the test, the pH values in the test media was 7.8, at the end of the test pH values were measured between 8.2 and 8.8.
No remarkable observations were made concerning the appearance of the test media. All test media were clear solutions throughout the test period.
