The samples for analysis were taken at the beginning of the test (0 hours) and immediately delivered in transport box to analytical laboratory.

- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
Preparation of solutions of the test item for preliminary and definite test:
The three stock solutions of the test item with different pH (4.0, 6.0 and 8.1) value were prepared in the test medium for the three preliminary tests. The one stock solution of the test item with pH 8.1 was prepared in the test medium for the full test.
The test item is ionised chemical and coloured dye that shows different forms at different pH, namely EC 255-288-2 (acidic pH) and its carbinol base EC 208-109-7 (basic pH) . For this reason (according OECD GD No.23, chapter 7, and its different subsections 7.6 Coloured test chemicals and 7.8 Ion ised test chemicals and after consultation with sponsor) three preliminary tests were performed with different pH 4.0, 6.0 and 8.1 to determine the most toxic form.
All three preliminary tests were performed in a range of the test item nominal concentrations 0.1 – 5 mg·L-1. Samples for analytical determination were taken at the beginning and at the end of the test from the lowest test concentration (0.1 mg·L-1), the highest test concentration (5.0 mg·L-1) and from the highest test concentration without algae.
The analytical results showed, that the test item was not sufficiently stable in the test medium at conditions of the test. The reason is probably its photodegrading properties.
The preliminary test (pH 4.0) did not meet the validity criteria in biomass increase and variation coefficient for growth rate.
In the preliminary test with pH 8.1 slightly higher toxicity was observed for variable ,,growth rate,, and ,,yield,, than in the preliminary test with pH 6.0.
Based on the results of toxicity observed in the preliminary tests, pH 8.1 was chosen for the full test which was performed in a range of the test item nominal concentrations 0.1 – 50.0 mg·L-1. Samples for analytical determination were taken at the beginning, after 24 hours, 48 hours and at the end of the test.
Reason for concentration increase: low toxicity for the variable ,,Growth rate,, in the preliminary test. In order to be able to evaluate ErC50, it was necessary to include higher concentrations in the full test
Main test concentrations: 50, 18.5, 6.9, 2.6, 1.0, 0.4 and 0.1 mg·L-1
As reported in the section of the validation of the analytical method, due to the analytical conditions acidic pH (mobile phase has pH 3) the sampled test solutions were acidifed before the analyses and therefore it is possible to quantify the total amount of test substance but not the ratio of each single chemical species (cationic vs. carbinol). - Test organisms (species):

-Algae inoculum for the test was sampled from exponentially growing inoculum culture. The strain culture was always set to pre-culturing of cells for 3-4 days before the start of the test. Inoculum culture was kept 3-4 days under conditions at which the test was performed. After this period the culture was in the state of the exponential growth and had the cell density suitable for the performance of the test. The cell density of the pre-culture was measured just before the start of the test and the needed inoculum volume was calculated.

- The test contained three parallel series of the test item concentrations and three controls without the test item. The volume of the test solution was 50 mL in each testing flask. The initial density of 5 000 cells per mL was used in the test. The flasks were placed on a shaker under the lighting ramp and were incubated under continuous illumination and shaking for 72 hours. At the beginning and the end of the test the pH of the test mixtures was measured. The light intensity and temperature were measured every 24 hours. The density of algae culture was evaluated microscopically at 24, 48 and 72 hours. The cell density was measured by direct counting of living cells in Burker´s counting chamber. The growth rates () and the yield (Y) and subsequently percentage reduction of growth rate and percentage inhibition of yield were calculated from obtained values.

- Details on results:
- The analytical determination of the test item concentrations was performed at the beginning of the test, after 24, 48 hours and at the end of the test in all test concentrations. The analytical results showed that the test item was not stable in the test medium under the conditions of testing, probably due to photodegradation
Geometric mean of measured concentrations were calculated from concentrations measured at the start, after 24, 48 hours and at the end of the test (72 hours). Geometric mean values were calculated using mathematical function ,,GEOMEAN,, by commercial software Microsoft Excel 2019. - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- Results of reference test
The sensitivity of the test species and correctness of test performance in our laboratory is periodically verified on a six-month period by testing the reference item, potassium dichromate.
The results of the verification test with K2Cr2O7, carried out in period from 07.03. to 10.03. 2022 are the following:
72 hour – ErC50 = 0.77 mg·L-1 (95% confidence limit: 0.49 – 1.21 mg·L-1)
These results are taken from the final report No. 19-330, which is stored in the office of the head of Toxicity I group.
Interlaboratory test data
From the results of the last interlaboratory test arranged by CSlab spol. s r.o. (accredited provider of proficiency testing) in 2019 we have obtained data for potassium dichromate
72h – ErC50 generated at 7 laboratories. The following reference range of values could be calculated from those data:
72 hour – ErC50 = 0.57 – 1.33 mg·L-1
These results are taken from the report PT/TX/1/2019, which is stored in the office of the head of Toxicity I group. - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- The value of ErC50, EyC50, ErC10, EyC10 and the confidence intervals were calculated using the statistical software ToxRat Professional Version 3.3.0.
The determination of NOEC values was done by statistical software ToxRat Professional Version 3.3.0. - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The substance was tested for toxicity to aquatic algae following OECD201. Under the experimental conditions the ErC50, 72h is ca. 7.33 mg/l (geometric mean) based on growth rate.
- Executive summary:
The test item was tested for growth inhibition on algae Desmodesmus subspicatus according to OECD TG 201.
The test item is ionised chemical and coloured dye that shows different forms at different pH, namely EC 255-288-2 (acidic pH) and its carbinol base EC 208-109-7 (basic pH). For this reason (according to OECD GD No.23, chapters 7.6 and 7.8 colured and ionised test chemicals and after consultation with the sponsor), the preliminary tests with three different pH (pH 4.0, 6.0 and 8.1) were performed to determine the most toxic form of the test item. All three preliminary tests were performed in a range of the test item nominal concentrations 0.1 – 5 mg·L-1. Samples for analytical determination were taken at the beginning and at the end of the test from the lowest test concentration (0.1 mg·L-1), the highest test concentration (5.0 mg·L-1) and from the highest test concentration without algae.
Based on the results of toxicity observed in the preliminary tests with pH 4, 6 and 8.1, pH 8.1 was chosen for the full test and was performed in a range of the test item nominal concentrations 0.1 – 50.0 mg·L-1. Samples for analytical determination were taken at the beginning, after 24 hours, 48 hours and at the end of the test.
The analytical results showed, that the test item was not sufficiently stable in the test medium at conditions of the test. The reason is probably due to its photodegrading properties.
The guideline specifies that if evidence is available to demonstrate that the concentration of the test item in the full test has been satisfactorily maintained within ± 20 per cent of the nominal or measured initial concentration throughout the full test, then the results can be based on nominal or measured initial values. In this study, as specified above, the concentrations of test item have not been satisfactorily maintained within ± 20 per cent of the nominal or measured initial concentration throughout the full test, so the real measured concentrations of test item should be used for the results evaluation in a form of geometric means
Under the experimental conditions the ErC50, 72h is ca. 7.33 mg/l (geometric mean) based on growth rate.
