Additional information
One study is available testing the toxicity of the substance on aquatic invertebrates. The study (2018) was conducted according to the OECD guideline 202 and under GLP standards. Daphnia magna was exposed for 48 h in a static testing regime to the nominal test item concentrations of 0.0625, 0.125, 0.25, 0.50 and 1.0 mg/L (nominal). Since the substance is poorly soluble in water a non-GLP solubility trial was performed prior to test start with different preparation methods of the stock solution. On this basis, dimethylformamide (DMF) was used as a solvent in a final concentration of 0.1 mL/L for the preparation of the test solutions. Therefore, a dilution water and a solvent control were included in the test. All solutions were clear and colourless at test start. An analytical monitoring took place and all tested concentrations including the control and the solvent control were measured via LC-MS/MS at the beginning and at the end of the test.
The measured concentration ranged between 97 and 138% of nominal at the start of the study and <LOQ - 11% of nominal after 48 h. Therefore results were expressed in arithmetic mean measured concentrations. The study showed slight effects on the mobility and behavior of Daphnia magna at concentrations between 0.12 and 0.57 mg/L (arithm. mean meas.). These concentrations are assumed to exceed the solubility of the substance in water under environmental conditions, since a solvent was used in the study. However no 50% immobility was recorded resulting in an EC50 (48 h) > 0.57 mg/L (arithm. mean meas.). No immobility was recorded in the controls and all validity criteria given by the guideline were fulfilled.
