Specific details on test material used for the study:

SOURCE OF TEST MATERIAL

Sampling and analysis

Analytical monitoring:

no

Remarks:

Limit test conducted at 10 mg/L (nominal) loading level, which is above the water solubility of the test material

Test solutions

Vehicle:

no

Details on test solutions:

PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
- Method: The test substance is extremely volatile. Therefore, 3.3 L glass flasks were completely filled with medium and closed with screw caps with a septum and parafilm. MTDID 22327 (19.4 μL) was then injected through the septum with gas-tight syringe. Flasks were rotated slowly for five days, and then allowed to settle for two days. MTDID 22327 was loaded at only 10 mg/L because higher loading levels may lead to formation of microdroplets of MTDID 22327 which would remain in suspension.
- Controls: Blank only
- Evidence of undissolved material: Test solutions were clear and colorless, with a small amount of visible test substance droplets at the bottom of the flasks at the beginning of the test.

Test organisms

Test organisms (species):

Danio rerio (previous name: Brachydanio rerio)

Details on test organisms:

TEST ORGANISM

- Source:Zodiac, proefacc, “De Haar Vissen”, Wageningen University and Research Centre, the Netherlands
- Length at study initiation: 1.9 ± 0.2 cm
- Weight at study initiation: 0.07 ± 0.02 g

ACCLIMATION
- Acclimation period: at least 12 days after delivery
- Acclimation conditions: Adjusted ISO medium, formulated using RO-water (tap-water purified by reverse osmosis; GEON Waterbehandeling, Berkel-Enschot, The Netherlands) with the following composition:
CaCl2.2H2O 211.5 mg/L
MgSO4.7H2O 88.8 mg/L
NaHCO3 46.7 mg/L
KCl 4.2 mg/L
- Type and amount of food during acclimation: fed daily with pelleted fish food (Cyprico Crumble Excellent (300-500 um), Coppens International bv, Helmond, The Netherlands)
- Health during acclimation (any mortality observed): In the batch of fish used for the test, mortality during the seven days prior to the start of the test was less than 5%.

FEEDING DURING TEST
- No feeding from 24 hours prior to the test and during the total test period.

Results with reference substance (positive control):

- Results with reference substance valid? yes
- Mortality: yes
- LC50: 0.15 mg/L (95% confidence interval between 0.10 and 0.22 mg/L)
- Other: Sensitivity trend data for this species are still being collected. The sensitivity of zebra-fish originating from the present batch for PCP falls within the expected range of sensitivities generally observed for a similar species (carp) during the past years. The reference substance test was conducted five months before the testing of MTDID 22327.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:

yes

Remarks:

No control mortality, DOC > 60% of saturation

Conclusions:

96-hour LC50 of MTDID 22327 to zebra-fish (Brachydanio rerio) > 10 mg/L (nominal) in a limit test per OECD 203. No toxicity was observed. The loading rate exceeded the maximum soluble concentration for MTDID 22327 in test medium.

Executive summary:

The 96-hour LC50 of MTDID 22327 to zebra-fish (Brachydanio rerio) was examined in a static, limit test conducted according to OECD TG 203. Test solutions were prepared as the control (0 mg/L) and at 10 mg/L. Test bottles were entirely filled (no headspace) and closed to avoid loss of test substance. No mortality or other clinical effects were observed at the 10 mg/L loading rate or in controls. The study was well-documented, followed an international standard method, and was GLP compliant.

Because the loading level of 10 mg/L exceeded the water solubility of MTDID 22327 (< 5 ppm) potentially only by a factor of two, and because MTDID 22327 is a UVCB chemical, the study is deemed reliable with restrictions. The results from this study are considered suitable for Risk Assessment, Classification and Labeling, and PBT Analysis.
