Analytical Determinations

At the start and at the end of the test, the content of the test item in the test solutions was determined using HPLC.

The QC samples were measured in duplicate at the beginning and end of each sequence.

The measured concentrations lay between 99 % and 112 % of the nominal concentrations. Therefore, the determination of the results was based on the nominal concentrations (see OECD Guidance Doc. No.23).

The measured concentrations for treatment and blank control are given in the following tables.

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
Short-term toxicity of sodium 3-sulfobenzoate towards Daphnia magna has been determined according to EU C.2 Method and the following results were determined:
48h-NOEC = 46 mg/L
48h-LOEC = 100 mg/L
24h-EC50 = 94.59 mg/L
48h-EC50 = 70.83 mg/L
Executive summary:

Short-term toxicity of sodium 3-sulfobenzoate towards Daphnia magna has been determined according to EU C.2 Method. One valid experiment was performed. The study was performed using 5 concentrations ranging from 4.6 to 100 mg/L nominal concentration. For each test concentration and the blank control, 20 daphnia were exposed to the test item for 48 hours in a static test system. After 24 and 48 hours, the immobilised daphnia were counted.

The two highest concentrations containing 46 mg/L and 100 mg/L showed toxicity between 15 and 85% immobilisation. One of the animals was immobilised in the blank control. This 5% immobilisation can be neglected.

Potassium dichromate K2Cr2O7 (CAS No. 7778-50-9) was used as positive control in a current reference study to assure that the test conditions are reliable.

The measured concentrations at the beginning and the end of the test lay between 99 % and 112 % of the nominal concentrations. Therefore, the determination of the results was based on the nominal concentrations (see OECD Guidance Doc. No.23).

The following results were determined for the test item sodium 3-sulfobenzoate:

48h-NOEC = 46 mg/L

48h-LOEC = 100 mg/L

24h-EC50 = 94.59 mg/L

48h-EC50 = 70.83 mg/L
