- Trials were performed to check if a solvent addition had an effect on measured test substance concnetrations. It was concluded that there was no advantage of using a solvent, and therefore test media were prepared by direct addition of the substance.
- Details on test solutions:
- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION
- Method: At the start of the test each test media was prepared by direct addition of the appropriate amount of the test substance (0.88, 1.96, 4.25, 9.40, 20.73, 45.5 and 100.12 mg) into a glass weighing vessel, to which was added ca 10 mL of Daphnia dilution water (ASTM). The vial and contents were treated with ultrasound for ca 1 minute, added to 1 litre volumetric flasks and made up to volume with ASTM. The volumetric flasks and contents were treated with ultrasound for an additional 30 minutes and then stirred overnight in the dark. Prior to use each test medium was filtered through a 0.45 μm pore size filter.
- Controls: The control treatment was prepared by adding test medium only to control test vessels. - Test organisms (species):
- Daphnia magna
- Details on test organisms:
- TEST ORGANISM
- Common name: Daphnia magna
- Source: healthy laboratory cultures, held and maintained at Covance Laboratories Ltd (parent culture was originally obtained from the Environment Agency’s National Centre for Ecotoxicology and Hazardous substances (laboratory)
- Age of test animals: <24 hours old
- Feeding during test: no
ACCLIMATION
- Acclimation period: <24 hours
- Acclimation conditions (same as test or not): yes
METHOD FOR PREPARATION AND COLLECTION OF EARLY INSTARS OR OTHER LIFE STAGES:
The D. magna are cultured in 600 mL glass beakers containing 500 mL of standard hard water. New cultures are initiated with juvenile D. magna (less than 24 hours old), at a density of 20 daphnids per litre. The cultures are fed daily with a concentrated suspension of Chlorella vulgaris. A seaweed extract was also added at each medium renewal as a dietary supplement. Also, synthetic mediums are considered to be deficient in some essential trace elements such as selenium. Deficiency in selenium has been shown to affect the moulting process of aquatic crustaceans, which can have a deleterious effect on subsequent juvenile production and parental survival (Elendt & Bias, 1990). Therefore, at each media renewal, 50 μL of a 47.8 mg/L sodium selenate solution (as a source of selenium) was added to each culture vessel to maintain the
integrity of the D. magna carapace.
The water in each culture was renewed weekly. Juveniles were removed when present in cultures at least three times per week using a sieve. Cultures were maintained up to a maximum of 42 days. Juveniles for use in acute toxicity tests were collected from the second brood onwards. Approximately 24 hours before a test was set up, juveniles present in the cultures were removed and discarded. Over the next 24 hours, juveniles for use in the test were removed from the culture using a wide bore pipette and transferred to fresh culture medium. The juveniles were then left for at least 1 hour before selecting actively swimming individuals for use. - Test type:

- Executive summary:
The acute toxicity to Daphnia magna was examined in a study performed in accordance with OECD TG 202, and in compliance with GLP criteria. Groups of 20 daphnids (4 replicates of 5 animals) were exposed to nominal test concentrations of 0 (control), 0.88, 1.94, 4.27, 9.39, 20.7, 45.5 and 100 mg/L for 48 hours under static conditions. Test substance analysis was performed at the start (t=0h) and at the end of exposure (t=48h) and geometric mean measured concentrations determined at 1.21, 1.89, 3.55, 8.45, 16.7, 24.2 and 26.5 mg/L. As measured test concentrations were not all within 80 -120% of nominal, results are expressed as measured concentrations. Daphnid immobility was recorded at 24 hours and 48 hours after start of exposure. The study validity criteria were met.
After 48 hours exposure to 1.21, 1.89, 3.55, 8.45, 16.7, 24.2 and 26.5 mg/L, daphnid immobility was 0, 0, 10, 0, 35, 95 and 100%, respectively. Based on these findings, the 48-h EC50 value was determined to be 14.3 mg/L (95% CI = 13.1 - 15.4 mg/L).

MEASURED TEST CONCENTRATIONS
- At the start of the test, measured concentrations of the test substance in the control, 0.88, 1.94, 4.27, 9.39, 20.7, 45.5 and 100 mg/L test media were 0, 1.34, 2.05, 3.53, 8.38, 15.7, 23.8 and 28.5 mg/L, respectively, corresponding to 152, 106, 82.6, 89.3, 76.0, 52.2 and 28.5% of the nominal concentrations.
- At the end of the test, measured concentrations of the test substance in the control, 0.88, 1.94, 4.27, 9.39, 20.7, 45.5 and 100 mg/L test media were 0, 1.10, 1.75, 3.58, 8.52, 17.8, 24.6 and 24.7 mg/L, respectively, corresponding to 82.1, 85.4, 101, 102, 113, 103 and 86.7% of the initial measured concentrations.
- Although the test concentrations were maintained within 80 -120% of the initial concentration, they were not within 80 -120% of nominal, thus the endpoints were expressed in terms of geometric mean measured concentrations.
- The overall mean measured concentrations of the test substance in the control, 0.88, 1.94, 4.27, 9.39, 20.7, 45.5 and 100 mg/L nominal concentrations were 0, 1.21, 1.89, 3.55, 8.45, 16.7, 24.2 and 26.5 mg/L, respectively.
Description of key information
The acute toxicity of the substance to Daphnia magna was derived by read-across from an analogue with the same chemical core structure, which was examined for D. magna toxicity in a study performed in accordance with OECD TG 202, and in compliance with GLP criteria.
Groups of 20 daphnids (4 replicates of 5 test organisms) were exposed to nominal test concentrations of 0 (control), 0.88, 1.94, 4.27, 9.39, 20.7, 45.5 and 100 mg/L for 48 hours under static conditions. Test substance analysis was performed at the start (t = 0 h) and at the end of exposure (t = 48 h), by means of a sufficiently validated HPLC-UV method. Since measured test concentrations were not all within 80 -120% of nominal, results are expressed in terms of geometric mean measured concentrations, which were determined as 1.21, 1.89, 3.55, 8.45, 16.7, 24.2 and 26.5 mg/L.
Daphnid immobility was recorded at 24 hours and 48 hours after start of exposure. After 48 hours exposure to 1.21, 1.89, 3.55, 8.45, 16.7, 24.2 and 26.5 mg/L, daphnid immobility was 0, 0, 10, 0, 35, 95 and 100%, respectively. Based on these findings, the 48-h EC50 value was determined to be 14.3 mg/L (95% CI = 13.1 - 15.4 mg/L).
All study validity criteria were met.
