TEST CONCENTRATIONS
- Spacing factor for test concentrations: 2.2
- Range finding study: Three fish per concentration were exposed to 0.1, 1.0, 10, 100 mg/L.
- Results used to determine the conditions for the definitive study: At 100 mg/L 100% mortality was observed within 2.5 hours. At 0.1 mg/L no mortality was observed. The expected LC50 was between 8.1 and 84 mg/l (based on initial measured concentrations). - Reference substance (positive control):
- no
- Remarks:
- (Internal laboratory results of the reference test with pentachlorophenol were included)

- Effect conc.:

- Nominal / measured:

- Conc. based on:
- test mat.
- Basis for effect:
- mortality (fish)
- Remarks on result:
- other: 95% CL: 12-23 mg/L
- Duration:
- 96 h
- Dose descriptor:
- NOEC
- Effect conc.:
- 7.4 mg/L
- Nominal / measured:
- meas. (geom. mean)
- Conc. based on:
- test mat.
- Basis for effect:
- mortality (fish)
- Details on results:
- Details on results: Within 2½ hours complete mortality was observed in the two highest concentrations of 41 and 87 mg/l. Four fish died in the intermediate group of 15 mg/l. No effects were observed at an average exposure concentrations of 3.3 and 7.4 mg/l, and neither in the control.
Analytical monitoring: The average exposure concentrations were calculated to correspond with 3.3, 7.4, 15, 41, 87 mg/l for the concentrations prepared at 4.6, 10, 22, 46 and 100 mg/l, respectively. Since measured concentrations deviated by more than 20% from nominal, results were based on the average exposure concentration. - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- - Results with reference substance valid? Yes (historical data, pentachlorophenol)
- LC50: 96h-LC50 was 0.25 mg/l based on nominal concentrations, with a 95% confidence interval between 0.20 and 0.41 mg/l (January 2012).
- Other: The range of the 96h-LC50 for carp is generally between 0.10 and 0.46 mg/l based on historical data of reference tests performed approximately every 3 months from April 1988 until the end of 2000, and annually since then. Hence, the sensitivity of carp originating from the present batch for PCP falls within the range of sensitivities generally observed during the past years. - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- The 72 and 96-hour LC50 was determined using the maximum likelihood estimation method with the probits of the percentages of dead fish as function of the logarithms of the corresponding concentrations for an exposure period of 72 and 96 hours. The 24 and 48-hour LC50 was calculated as (AB)½, with A and B being limits of the 95% confidence interval.

- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Remarks:
- (No mortality in the control, test conditions maintained throughout the test, dissolved oxygen > 60% of air saturation, since measured concentrations deviated >20% results were based on the average exposure concentration)
- Conclusions:
- The 96h-LC50 of 2-methylcyclohexyl acetate in carps (basis for effect: mortality) was determined to be an average exposure concentration of 14 mg/L. The test item induced no lethal effects at or below an average exposure concentration of 7.4 mg/l (NOEC).
- Executive summary:
A fish acute toxicity test was performed on 2 -methylcyclohexyl acetate in accordance with OECD Guideline 203. A final test was performed in a semi-static system airtight closed with daily renewals based on the results obtained in a preceding static range-finding test. Seven carp per test group were exposed to a control and solutions containing 4.6, 10, 22, 46 and 100 mg/l. The total test period was 96 hours. The average exposure concentrations were calculated to correspond with 3.3, 7.4, 15, 41, 87 mg/l for the concentrations prepared at 4.6, 10, 22, 46 and 100 mg/l, respectively. Since measured concentrations deviated by more than 20% from nominal, results were based on the average exposure concentration. 2-methylcyclohexyl acetate induced no lethal effects in carp at or below an average exposure concentration of 7.4 mg/l (NOEC). The 96h-LC50 was 14 mg/l based on average exposure concentrations (95% confidence interval between 12 and 23).
