Reference
Endpoint:
short-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
07 February 2018 - 03 May 2018
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 202 (Daphnia sp. Acute Immobilisation Test)
Version / remarks:
13 April 2004
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Analytical monitoring:
yes
Details on sampling:
After 0h; 24h and 48h exposure, all replicates of control and treatment groups were sampled (5 ml), one sample per replicate, 4 samples per treatment group and control
Of each sampled treatment, one of the analytical samples from 0h, 24h and 48h was sent to the analytical laboratory at the test site for chemical analysis. The remaining samples were stored as retain samples in the freezer (<=18°C) until finalization of the study.
Vehicle:
no
Details on test solutions:
The stock solution was prepared as Water Soluble Fraction (WSF) by adding 400 mg test item to 1000 ml test medium and shaking for 24 h using an overhead shaker at 20.3 - 21.5 °C. The stock solution was allowed to settle for 1.5 h before decanting the upper part of the liquid column for use in the test. This decanted stock solution was used as highest tst item loading rate in the test. The negative control (test medium) was treated in the same way as the test item solution.
4 replicates, with 5 daphnids each, were prepared for each test item treatment and the negative control. The further test item loading rates were prepared by diluting the stock solution.
