- Method: Dilution water used for preparing the test solution and the contol (ISO test water) contained 11.76 g CaCl2x2H2O, 4.93 g MgSO4x7H2O, 2.59 g NaHCO3, and 0.23 g KCl. The test item was diluted in deionised water to 1 L and 25 mL was added to prepare 1 L of dilution water. The dilution water had a conductivity of <10 μS/cm, pH 7.8 and hardness 250 mg/L CaCO3. ISO test water contains 294 mg/L CaCl2 so each exposure CaCl2 concentration was an addition to that content. - Test organisms (species):

- Details on test organisms:
- TEST ORGANISM
- Common name: water flea
- Strain/clone: originating from a local wild population and an unpolluted area were reared in the laboratory culture
- Age at study initiation (mean and range, SD): 3rd-5th brood ≤24 h old (from mothers previously acclimated in dilution water)
- Feeding during test: fed daily with 4×105 cel/mL of the algae species Chlorella vulgaris and Scenedesmus obliquus 2:1
METHOD FOR PREPARATION AND COLLECTION OF EARLY INSTARS OR OTHER LIFE STAGES, INCLUDING CULTURING CONDITIONS:
Laboratory culture was kept in 1000 mL glass vessels at a density of 50 individuals per L in dechlorinated tap water, passed through activated charcoal. Daphnids were fed daily with a concentrated suspension of fresh cultured green algae Chlorella vulgaris and Scenedesmus obliquus, alternately with an addition of suspended dry baking yeast once a week and kept at 20±2 °C at 12/12 photoperiod (550 lux). Once a week, daphnids were transferred to fresh water and neonates were regularly removed. - Test type:

- Reported statistics and error estimates:
- The experiments were statistically analysed with one- factorial ANOVA and Tukey post hoc test to reveal the statistical differences between treatments, using Statistica 6 (StatSoft, Tulsa, AZ, USA). The half maximal effective concentration EC50 values were calculated using regression analysis and Bonferroni test and the significance of females’ mortality was determined using Cochran- Armitage trend test
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- not specified
- Conclusions:
- 21 days exposure to the test item to Dapnia magna resulted in a LOEC for reproduction of 240 mg/L, a NOEC for number of broods of 481 mg/L and a EC50 for parental mortality of 900 mg/L.
- Executive summary:
A study was conducted for 21 days to determine the effect on reproduction of the test item on the crustacean, Daphnia magna. The study was performed the standard OECD guidelines 211. Analytical concentrations varied from the nominal concentrations ±0.1 to 5 %. Results showed LOEC for reproduction of 240 mg/L, a NOEC for number of broods of 481 mg/L and an EC50 for parental mortality of 900 mg/L.

Description of key information
The chronic effect of 21-day exposure on reproduction of Daphnia magna was investigated in two reliable studies (K2) (Biesinger and Christensen 1972 and Mazuran et al. 2015). However, only one was conducted by a standard guideline and hence selected as key study. The lowest effective concentration for reproduction was 240 mg/L (LOEC). The LOEC was the lowest concentrations tested, hence no NOEC for reproduction could be determined.

Additional information
Please note that the NOEC mentioned in the table for key value for chemical safety assessment is a LOEC, not a NOEC. However as it is the lowest reported value, this one was selected to be presented.
