- Details on test solutions:
- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
- Method: The test media was prepared from an aqueous solution in which the test substance (100 mg) was added directly to algal culture medium (1 L). An aliquot (1.26 mL) of the secondary algal inoculum was added to a portion (300 mL) of the test medium at each concentration, to give an initial cell density of 1E+04 cells/mL. An aliquot (100 mL) of the appropriate inoculated test medium was added to each of the test vessels. - Test organisms (species):
- Raphidocelis subcapitata (previous names: Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, Selenastrum capricornutum)
- Details on test organisms:
- TEST ORGANISM
- Common name: Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata
- Strain: Strain No. CCAP 278/4.
- Source (laboratory, culture collection): Culture Collection of Algae and Protozoa (CCAP), SAMS Research Services Ltd., Dunstaffnage Marine Laboratory, Dunbeg, Oban, Argyll, Scotland
- Age of inoculum (at test initiation): 3 days
- Method of cultivation: Sterile algal nutrient medium was inoculated with cells aseptically removed from the slope culture; these primary liquid cultures (100 ml) were incubated for approximately three days in an orbital incubator under continuous illumination at nominal temperatures in the range 21 to 25°C.

- yes
- Conclusions:
- After 72 hours of exposure to HEAA, the EbC50 and ErC50, could not be identified but must be >96.6 mg/l.
The “no observed effect concentration” (NOEC) for both area under the growth curve and growth rate was 20.7 mg/l. - Executive summary:
The effect of HEAA on the growth of the green alga was assessed under non-axenic conditions. The study was conducted in accordance with OECD Guideline 201, under GLP.
After 72 hours of exposure to HEAA, the EbC50 and ErC50, could not be identified but must be >96.6 mg/l. The “no observed effect concentration” (NOEC) for both area under the growth curve and growth rate was 20.7 mg/l.
