- Details on sampling:
- UHPLC-am-MS was used for identification of THPO: 5 µL samples were directly injected into the MS. During the test triplicate samples (10 ml) were collected from the freshly prepared blank solution and the highest and lowest test concentrations, and again samples were taken from all 3 solutions at the end of the test from the test vessels.
Samples were stored in glass vials at -20 °C until measurement.
High-resolution ICP-MS was used to quantify THPO: samples (5ml) were collected in parallel to those for the UHPLC measurements from the same solutions at the start and the end of the test. These samples were collected in polyethylene tubes containing HNO3 (final concentration 2 %). For the measurements, the test samples were diluted 1/10 or 1/100 in 2 % HNO3. - Vehicle:
- yes
- Remarks:
- OECD medium
- Details on test solutions:
- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
- Method: OECD medium was used as a control and dilution medium; 200.2 mg THPO was weighed and added to 200 ml of OECD medium. The test item is easily soluble in the medium.
- Controls: ZnCl2 was tested as reference item, OECD medium was used as the dilution medium
- Evidence of undissolved material (e.g. precipitate, surface film, etc.): The test item is easily soluble in the medium. - Test organisms (species):
- Daphnia magna
- Details on test organisms:
- TEST ORGANISM
- Common name: Daphnia magna
- Strain/clone: DM 04 02 K36
- Source: Test organisms are grown at the VITO laboratory facility.
- Feeding during test: no
ACCLIMATION
- Acclimation period: As required by OECD guideline 202 a daphnia breeding subculture in OECD medium was started on 19/03/2018 (3 weeks before test). The health condition of this new culture was considered as normal: normal life cycle rhythm, average mortality rate, average number of youngsters
METHOD FOR PREPARATION AND COLLECTION OF EARLY INSTARS OR OTHER LIFE STAGES: For the test neonate organisms (max. 24 hours of age) were used. On 09/04/2018 (one day before test start) some parent organisms were separated in a breeding vessel and fed with enriched algae food. The youngsters that were born overnight were then used for this test. Survival in control conditions during the test was 100% indicating that breeding conditions did not cause acute effects. The sensitivity for the reference item ZnCl2 of organisms from the OECD medium breeding compartment was significantly higher compared to the JP4 cultured organisms. - Test type:

RANGE-FINDING STUDY

Yes.
- Relevant effect levels:
- OECD medium was used as the dilution medium in this test. The EC50 (24h) = 6 mg/l ZnCl2 and EC50 (48h) = 0.29 mg/l ZnCl2.
- Results in standard JP4 medium: historical range for EC50 (48h) = 1.04-2.35 mg/L ZnCl2, mean value 1.7 mg/L ZnCl2

It was shown that the sensitivity of Daphnia to ZnCl2 toxicity was significantly higher in the OECD cultured organisms, that were used in this study. - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- A statistical analysis was not necessary, as no immobilisation or any other adverse effects were observed.
- Mean survival in the control replicates was 97 % and met the validity criterion that not more than 10 % of the daphnids should be immobilised.
- The dissolved oxygen concentration was ≥ 96 % oxygen in all test conditions and met the validity criterion of at least 3 mg/l (appr. 30 % of the air saturation at 20°C) during the test duration.
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- LC50 (48h): > 100 mg/l (nominal)
- Executive summary:
The study was conducted under GLP to evaluate the effect of the presence of the test item Tris(hydroxymethyl)phosphine oxide (THPO) on the mobility of Daphnia magna. The acute toxicity test is based on the OECD test protocol "OECD guidelines for testing of chemicals 202: Daphnia sp. Acute Immobilisation Test" (2004).
Based on preliminary test results the nominal test concentrations 100 - 50 -25 - 12.5 - 6.25 mg/l Tris(hydroxymethyl)phosphine oxide were used. 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. None of the concentrations showed toxicity and also none of the animals was immobilised in the blank control.
ZnCl2 was tested as reference item in a current reference study to assure that the test conditions are reliable.
At the beginning and at the end of the test, the content of the test item in the test solution was determined using UHPLC-am-MS to demonstrate the integrity of the molecules during the test (qualitative evaluation), and phosphorous (P) is analysed by ICP-AES to quantify the THPO concentration. Results showed that recovery at the end of the test is ≤ 80 % of the initial values for both analytical methods
Exposure concentrations up to 100 mg/l (analytical concentration) of the test item Tris(hydroxymethyl)phosphine oxide (THPO) for 48 hours had no adverse effect on the mobility of Daphnia. It is concluded that the LC50 is >100 mg/l.
Reference
Analytical data
Results showed that recovery at the end of the test is > 80 % of the initial values for both analytical methods.
Based on the composition of the medium the expected P concentration in blank OECD medium is 360 µg/l P. In the test dilutions 1660, and 22360 µg/l P are expected in the 6.25 and 100 mg/l THPO dilutions respectively (THPO = C3H9O4P = > 22 % P). The measured values at the start of the test are within the expected range (at least 89 % of the nominal value). At the end of the test, the P concentration in the 100 mg/l THPO dilution is decreased to 72.5 % of the expected value, but to 81% of the initial value. The HPLC-MS data indicate a full recovery of the 3 masses at the highest concentration, indicating that no degradation products are generated.

Additional information
A GLP study was conducted to evaluate the effect of the presence of the test item Tris(hydroxymethyl)phosphine oxide (THPO) on the mobility of Daphnia magna. The acute toxicity test is based on the OECD test protocol "OECD guidelines for testing of chemicals 202: Daphnia sp. Acute Immobilisation Test" (2004). The study was awarded a reliability score of 1 in accordance with the criteria set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997).
Based on preliminary test results, the nominal test concentrations 100 - 50 -25 - 12.5 - 6.25 mg/l Tris(hydroxymethyl)phosphine oxide were used.
