- Nominal and measured concentrations:
- The analytically determined test item concentration in the analyzed test medium was 103% of the nominal value at the start of the test. This shows the correct preparation of the test medium (see analytical results and Table 2 in the attached analytical phase report). At test end, the test item concentration was 28% of nominal. Since the test item is known to be hydrolytically stable the decrease in
concentration is considered to be caused by photolytical degradation of the test item due to the strong irradiation in this algae test. - Details on test conditions:

- Details on results:
- The microscopic examination of the algal cells after 72 hours exposure showed no difference
between the algae growing in test medium containing the test item at the nominal
concentration of 100 mg/L and the algal cells in the control. There were no obvious effects on
the shape and size of the algal cells growing in the test medium at this nominal concentration. - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- For evaluation of the algal quality and experimental conditions, potassium dichromate is tested
as a positive control at least once a year to demonstrate satisfactory conditions of the test. The
latest result of the positive control test showed that the toxic performance was valid and within
the historical range in the RCC laboratory.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Executive summary:
The influence of the test item MG-60 on the growth of the green algal species Scenedesmus subspicatus CHODAT was investigated in a 72-hour static test according to the EU Guideline C.3 and OECD Guideline No.201.
A limit test was performed in accordance with the EU Commission Directive 92/69/EEC to demonstrate that the test item has no toxic effect on Scenedesmus subspicatus up to and including a nominal concentration of 100 mg/L. Thus the only concentration tested was nominal 100 mg/L and a control.
The analytically determined test item concentration in the analyzed test medium was 103% of the nominal value at the start of the test. This shows the correct preparation of the test medium. At test end, the test item concentration was 28% of nominal. Since the test item is known to be hydrolytically stable, the decrease in concentration is considered to be caused by photoiyticai degradation of the test item due to the strong irradiation in this algae test.
The reported biological results are based on the nominal as well as on the mean measured concentration of the test item of 53 mg/L.
The mean algal cell densities in the test medium of nominal 100 mg/L (mean measured 53 mg/L) were nearly identical with or even slightly higher than those in the parallel control culture throughout the entire test duration. After 72 hours, the difference of the mean biomass and the mean growth rate compared to the control was 7.5 and 2.2%, respectively. This small difference (< EC10) was considered to be due to biological variation of algae growth rather than to be caused by a toxic effect of the test item.Thus, the test item MG-60 and its degradation products clearly had no inhibitory effect on the growth of Scenedesmus subspicatus during the exposure period of 72 hours at a nominal test concentration of nominal 100 mg/L (mean measured 53 mg/L). This test concentration was therefore determined as the 72-hour NOEC (highest concentration tested without toxic effects after a test period of 72 hours). This value might even be higher, but concentrations in excess of nominal 100 mg/L have not been tested, according to EU Commission Directive 92/69/EEC.
The 72-hour LOEC (lowest concentration tested with toxic effects) and the 72-hour Ec10 and EC50 for the algal biomass b and growth rate r could not be quantified due to the absence of a toxic effect of MG-60 at the tested concentration. However, these parameters were clearly higher than nominal 100 mg/L (mean measured 53 mg/L).
