- Details on results:
- The highest concentration without immobilization of Daphnia was 1.1 mg/l based on TOC analysis. The EC50 for the compound was calculated by the computer programme ("Probit analysis", version 1), Institute of Biometrics, Berlin, Germany. The calculated EC50 was 2 mg/L.
- Reported statistics and error estimates:
- No information- confidence limits could not be calcuated due to the steep exposure/effect curve resulting in just one concentration between 0 and 100% effect.
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- not specified
- Conclusions:
- The EC50 for 48 hours for di-n-butyltin oxide was determined to be 2.0 mg/l based on TOC concentration analysis. The highest concentration no effect was 1.1 mg/l. Additional to the TOC analysis a tin analysis was performed with AAS at Witco laboratories under non-GLP conditions. The measured Sn content of 1.6 mg/l results in a concentration of 3.4 mg ZK 26385/l in the saturated solution. This is in acceptable agreement with the concentration of 4.2 mg/l determined on the basis of TOC analysis.
- Executive summary:
20 Juvenile Dapnia magna were exposed to four test concentrations of di-n-butyltin oxide and 20 for the tap water control. The Daphnia were exposed for a period of 48 hours under static conditions. Immobilization was recorded at 24 hours and 48 hours. For the preparation of the test solutions a suspension with a nominal loading of 100 mg/l was stirred for 24 hours. This suspension was filtered through a glass fibre filter. The resulting solution served as the highest concentration (saturated solution). Since in a preceding range-finding test, the EC50/48 h was estimated between the saturated solution and a 1:10 dilution, the saturated solution was diluted 1:2, 1:4, 1:8 for definitive testing. The test temperature was in the range of 20.1 to 20.7 degrees C, the pH ranged between 7.7 and 8.6, and the oxygen concentration between 8.2 and 8.7 mg/l. The light/dark rhythm was adjusted to 12 hours/12 hours. The organic carbon concentration of the highest test solution (saturated) was analyzed with a TOC analyzer at the start of exposure and 48 hours thereafter. The substance concentration was calculated on the basis of the molecular formula. The calculated concentration of the saturated solution was 6.8 mg/l at the beginning of the test and 1.6 mg/l at the end of the exposure period with a mean of 4.2 mg/l. The concentrations of the further dilutions were extrapolated. Statistical evaluation regarding the observations of immobilization was performed by probit analysis. Immobilized Daphnia were observed in the test concentrations containing 2.1 and 4.2 mg/l di-n-butyltin oxide, calculated on the basis of TOC analysis. The EC50 for 48 hours for di-n-butyltin oxide was determined to be 2.0 mg/l based on TOC concentration analysis. The lowest concentration without effect was 1.1 mg/l.

Additional information
The key study Steger-Hartmann T and Wendt B (1998) was provided as the key study for this endpoint. The study was performed to the OECD Guideline 202, no statement was provided whether the study was GLP compliant. The study was assigned a reliability score of 2 and considered suitable for assessment. 20 Juvenile Dapnia magna were exposed to four test concentrations of di-n-butyltin oxide and 20 for the tap water control. The Daphnia were exposed for a period of 48 hours under static conditions. Immobilization was recorded at 24 hours and 48 hours. For the preparation of the test solutions a suspension with a nominal loading of 100 mg/l was stirred for 24 hours. This suspension was filtered through a glass fibre filter. The resulting solution served as the highest concentration (saturated solution). The EC50 for 48 hours for di-n-butyltin oxide was determined to be 2.0 mg/l based on TOC concentration analysis. The highest concentration no effect was 1.1 mg/l. Additional to the TOC analysis a tin analysis was performed with AAS at Witco laboratories under non-GLP conditions. The measured Sn content of 1.6 mg/l results in a concentration of 3.4 mg ZK 26385/l in the saturated solution. This is in acceptable agreement with the concentration of 4.2 mg/l determined on the basis of TOC analysis.
