After cessation of mixing and a following period (1 h) of settling to allow phase separation, the aqueous phase, i.e. the water accommodated fraction, was drawn off carefully and used as the test medium of the corresponding nominal test concentration. Each concentration was prepared separately.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
There is one experimental study available, in which the toxicity of the substance was assessed according to the OECD guideline 201 and GLP.In a static test, Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata was exposed to the five nominal loading rates of 1.0, 3.2, 10.0, 31.6, and 100 mg/L test item for 72 h (initial cell density: 0.5 * 10E+04 cells/mL). Since the substance is a UVCB, the test solution was applied as water accommodated fraction (WAF). The actual test item concentrations were analytically verified via quantification of one component of the UVCB for fresh and aged samples by HPLC- UV detection. After 72 h, a clear dose-response curve was obtained for inhibition of growth rate and yield. Based on the quantified UVCB component the test concentrations were found to decrease over the course of the 72 h test in all test concentrations, except for 100 mg test item/L. The initial measured concentrations ranged between 37 and 97% of nominal and the aged samples between 36 and 70% of nominal. Since the pH increased up to 10 during the experimental phase degradation via hydrolysis is potentially expected but due to a higher degradation for the fish study with a lower pH this reason for degradation via hydrolysis is not presumably. Biological significant effects were determined and resulted in EL10 (72 h) of 22.8 mg/L (nominal) and EL50 (72 h) of > 100 mg/L (nominal) based on growth rate. For yield statistically significant effects resulted in an EL10 (72 h) of 4.63 mg/L and EL50 (72h) of 25.4 mg/L. Since the test was dosed via the water accommodated fraction (WAF) approach, all reported results refer to loading rate.
