For both experiments a saturated solution was prepared. This was done by weighing the
nominal load 100 mg/L (real load 100.0 mg/L both experiments), adding the corresponding
amount of dilution water and shaking vigorously for 24 hours. Because photosensitivity of
the test item can’t be excluded, in the second experiment the flasks were shaken for 24 ±
1 hours in darkness. The resulting solution was filtrated through 0.45 μm PTFE filters. - Analytical monitoring:
- yes
- Details on sampling:
- To 200 mL test- and control solution 10 g NaCl was added, then the solution was extracted two times with the solvent dichloromethane (2 x 4 mL), the organic phase was collected into a 10 mL flask, after drying with Na2SO4. The flask was filled up to 10 mL with dichloromethane after addition of 150 μL ISTD stock solution (1000 mg/L in dichloromethane) and the solution was measured via GC/FID. Twentyfold dilution was achieved during extraction.
- Details on test solutions:
- Deionised water with an enrichment of certain minerals (dilution water as demanded in the
guidelines) was used in the test.

Daphnia magna is bred in the LAUS GmbH throughout the year. The animals are kept for
the use in toxicity tests. They multiply by parthenogenesis, thus being genetically identical.
The husbandry is performed similar to the method described in the OECD guideline, following

Selection of Daphnia
19.5 hours (first experiment) resp. 19 hours (second experiment) before the start of the
test, the adult animals were separated from the young. 0.5 hours before test start, the
adults were caught with the help of a glass tube, and the newborn Daphnia, aged between
0 and 19 hours, were sieved from the medium and immediately placed into a 250 mLbeaker
containing dilution water. After a settling-in period of 30 minutes, animals which
showed no apparent damage were used for the test.
Switching from M4-medium (husbandry) to Dilution water (test) has been shown not to
cause any detrimental effects for test Daphnia.
Study Performance
Using a glass tube, the Daphnia were caught and lifted from the beaker. They were put on
a small sieve, and the medium surrounding the animals was sucked off using absorbent
paper. Immediately after that, the animals were put into the respective test solution.
The test vessels were left to stand for 24 hours. Then, the vessels were inspected for immobilised
Daphnia, and medium renewal was performed: the Daphnia were put into new
test vessels with freshly prepared test solution. After 48 hours (first experiment) resp. 49
hours (second experiment), the immobilised Daphnia were counted again. Daphnia are
considered immobilised if they perform no movements or are only able to move their antennae
when the beaker is gently agitated.
The pH, the concentration of dissolved oxygen and the content of the test item in the test
vessels were measured at the beginning and at the end of the test and at the medium renewal
in the old and the new test solution.

- Results with reference substance (positive control):
- Potassium dichromate K2Cr2O7 (CAS No. 7778-50-9) was used as positive control in a
current reference study. The 24h-EC50 value was determined as 1.7 mg/L, lying within the
demanded range of 0.6 – 2.1 mg/L stated in the OECD guideline. - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- No observations were made which might cause doubts concerning the validity of the study
outcome. All validity criteria were met. - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- Two valid experiments were performed.
20 Daphnia were exposed to the test item for the treatment for 48 hours in a semi static
test system. Both experiments were performed as a limit test at the nominal concentration
100 mg/L. The concentration showed no toxicity. None of the animals were immobilised
neither in the treatment nor in the blank control.
At the beginning and at the end of the test, the content of the test item in the test solutions
was determined using GC/FID -determination. In the first experiment, the measured concentrations
were lower than during validation. This might be caused by photosensitivity of
the test item. Therefore, the experiment was repeated. For preparation of the saturated
solution, in the second experiment the flasks were shaken for 24 hours in darkness. The
measured concentrations in the second experiment were in the expected range. Therefore,
for evaluation, only the measured concentrations of the second experiment were
used.
Because of the poor solubility of the test item, the correlation between nominal and measured
concentrations was weak. Therefore, the determination of the biological results was
based on the geometric mean of the measured concentrations in the second experiment.
Potassium dichromate K2Cr2O7 (CAS No. 7778-50-9) was used as positive control in a
current reference study. The 24h-EC50 value was determined as 1.7 mg/L, lying within the
demanded range of 0.6 – 2.1 mg/L stated in the OECD guideline.
No observations were made which might cause doubts concerning the validity of the study
outcome. All validity criteria were met.
The result of the test is considered valid. - Executive summary:
Two valid experiments were performed.
Both experiments were performed as a limit test at the nominal concentration 100 mg/L. 20
Daphnia were exposed to the test item for 48 hours in a semi static test system. After 24
and 48 hours, the immobilised Daphnia were counted.
The concentration showed no toxicity. None of the animals were immobilised neither in the
treatment nor in the blank control.
