- Preparation of test solutions
The study was run with a culture medium control and nominal exposure concentrations of 0.004, 0.012, 0.037, 0.117, 0.375 and 1.2 mg/L. A primary stock concentrate of Test substance, with a nominal concentration of 12 mg/L, was prepared by adding a nominal 0.012 g of test substance (actual weight: 0.01197) to 1000 mL of media. The resultant stock was observed to be clear and colourless. The stock solution was used to prepare the test solutions. This was achieved by the direct addition of the appropriate amount of concentrate to dilution water. The control consisted of culture medium only. In all cases the final solutions contained nutrients. The test solutions were all observed to be clear and colourless. The appropriate test solution (100 mL volume) was dispensed to each test and blank vessel. - Test organisms (species):

- Executive summary:
A study was conducted to determine the acute toxicity study of the test substance, 'iso and anteiso C10-40 AAP EDM-ES' (active: 96%), to freshwater green algae (Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata), according to the OECD Guideline 201, in compliance with GLP. Six replicates of the culture medium control and triplicates of each concentration of the test substance were employed. Each replicate test vessel was inoculated with 1.091 mL of the inoculum culture to give a nominal cell density of 0.5 × 104 cells/mL. One 100 mL volume of Coulter electrolyte, inoculated in the same manner, had a cell density of 0.533 × 104 cells/mL. This value was used for growth calculations. Three replicate algal cultures were exposed to test substance at nominal concentrations of 0, 0.004, 0.012, 0.037, 0.117, 0.375 and 1.2 mg/L in test medium for 72 h. The exposure levels of test substance in aqueous samples of test media were monitored using a GC-MS method of analysis. Based on whole sample analysis (dissolved and undissolved), the measured concentration of the test substances were found to be 0, 0, 0, 0.059, 0.18 and 0.77 mg/L. Algal cell particle densities (cell particles per unit volume measured as a surrogate for biomass) and growth rate were calculated for each replicate culture. The EC50, EC20 and EC10 values with their associated confidence intervals were subsequently calculated using the Linear Interpolation method. The ErC50 and ErC10 values for growth rate were determined to be 0.14 and 0.064 mg/L (i.e., equivalent to 0.134 and 0.0614 mg a.i./L) respectively, whereas the EyC50 and EyC10 values for cell particle density were determined to be 0.097 and 0.021mg/L (i.e., 0.0931 and 0.02 mg a.i./L) respectively. The respective NOEC and LOEC values were determined to 0.059 (0.0566 a.i.) mg/L and 0.18 (0.173 a.i.) mg/L, respectively for growth rate and 0 mg/L (0.037 mg/L; nominal) and 0.059 mg/L (0.0566 mg a.i./L), respectively for cell particle densities. The study results were considered to fulfil the OECD Guideline 201 validity criteria. Therefore, under the study conditions, 72 h ErC50, ErC10, EyC50, EyC10, NOErC, NOEyC, LOErC and LOEyC values for the test substance, 'iso and anteiso C10-40 AAP EDM-ES' with freshwater green algae, were determined to be 0.14 (0.134 mg a.i./L), 0.064 (0.0614 mg a.i./L) 0.097 (0.0931 mg a.i./L), 0.021 (0.02 mg a.i./L), 0.059 (0.0566 mg a.i./L), 0, 0.18 (0.173 mg a.i./L) and 0.059 (0.0566 mg a.i./L), respectively (Scymaris, 2018).

Results:
Analytical data
The limit of quantification of test substance in this study was 0.02 mg/L. All analytical values are quoted to two significant figures and percentages to the nearest integer. The measured concentrations at the start of the study were 0 -66% of nominal and at the end were 0 -62% of nominal. The nominal 0.004, 0.012 and 0.037 mg/L test solutions were below the LOQ and as such were not detected at either time point. These concentrations were below the NOEC for growth rate and as such not having a measured analytical value does not impact the result of the study. Analytical calibrations were constructed using a minimum of 5 calibration levels, with a minimum R2 value of 0.99. The maximum percentage difference from nominal concentration for standards at the LOQ is less than 30% and less than 20% at levels greater than the LOQ. On the basis of the analytical data the mean measured concentrations were used for the calculation and reporting of results.

Yield values are quoted to 2 decimal places. Where negative algal yields (shown in parentheses) were calculated due to the subtracted blank particle density being higher than the test vessel particle density, these have been taken as zero (0) for calculation of the mean and statistical analysis.
For the purposes of calculation, the cell particle density count (cell particles per unit volume) is an acceptable surrogate for biomass. These cell particle densities were examined by one-way analysis of variance and a t test to identify significant differences (p<0.05) from the control.The EC50 , EC20 and EC10 values with their associated confidence intervals were subsequently calculated using the Linear Interpolation method.

Additional biological data
The microscopic observations, made at test end, showed that for the control and 0.04, 0.012, 0.037 and 0.117 mg/L test concentrations, the cells appeared normal. No cells were visible in the 0.375 and 1.2 mg/L test vessels.
Validity criteria
The validity criteria specified in the OECD 201 guideline are;
1) To achieve ≥16 fold exponential increase in biomass in the control replicates within the 72 h test period. In this test,cell particle density increase (measured as a surrogate for biomass) was 80.68 over the 72 h for the control.
2) The mean coefficients of variation for control replicate sectional (daily) specific growth rates must not exceed 35% and in this test, was determined to be 7%.
3) The replicate coefficient of variation of average specific growth rates during the whole test period in the control replicate cultures must not exceed 7% and in this test, was calculated to be 1.6%.
Based on the study results, it was concluded that the study has fulfilled validity criteria.

Additional information
A study was conducted to determine the acute toxicity study of the test substance, 'iso and anteiso C10-40 AAP EDM-ES' (active: 96%), to freshwater green algae (Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata), according to the OECD Guideline 201, in compliance with GLP. Six replicates of the culture medium control and triplicates of each concentration of the test substance were employed. Each replicate test vessel was inoculated with 1.091 mL of the inoculum culture to give a nominal cell density of 0.5 × 104 cells/mL. One 100 mL volume of Coulter electrolyte, inoculated in the same manner, had a cell density of 0.533 × 104 cells/mL. This value was used for growth calculations. Three replicate algal cultures were exposed to test substance at nominal concentrations of 0, 0.004, 0.012, 0.037, 0.117, 0.375 and 1.2 mg/L in test medium for 72 h. The exposure levels of test substance in aqueous samples of test media were monitored using a GC-MS method of analysis. Based on whole sample analysis (dissolved and undissolved), the measured concentration of the test substances were found to be 0, 0, 0, 0.059, 0.18 and 0.77 mg/L. Algal cell particle densities (cell particles per unit volume measured as a surrogate for biomass) and growth rate were calculated for each replicate culture. The EC50, EC20 and EC10 values with their associated confidence intervals were subsequently calculated using the Linear Interpolation method. The ErC50 and ErC10 values for growth rate were determined to be 0.14 and 0.064 mg/L (i.e., equivalent to 0.134 and 0.0614 mg a.i./L) respectively, whereas the EyC50 and EyC10 values for cell particle density were determined to be 0.097 and 0.021mg/L (i.e., 0.0931 and 0.02 mg a.i./L) respectively. The respective NOEC and LOEC values were determined to 0.059 (0.0566 a.i.) mg/L and 0.18 (0.173 a.i.) mg/L, respectively for growth rate and 0 mg/L (0.037 mg/L; nominal) and 0.059 mg/L (0.0566 mg a.i./L), respectively for cell particle densities. The study results were considered to fulfil the OECD Guideline 201 validity criteria. Therefore, under the study conditions, 72 h ErC50, ErC10, EyC50, EyC10, NOErC, NOEyC, LOErC and LOEyC values for the test substance, 'iso and anteiso C10-40 AAP EDM-ES' with freshwater green algae, were determined to be 0.14 (0.134 mg a.i./L), 0.064 (0.0614 mg a.i./L) 0.097 (0.0931 mg a.i./L), 0.021 (0.02 mg a.i./L), 0.059 (0.0566 mg a.i./L), 0, 0.18 (0.173 mg a.i./L) and 0.059 (0.0566 mg a.i./L), respectively (Scymaris, 2018).
