- Sampling method: At t = 0 h and t = 72 h samples were taken from freshly prepared solutions and at t = 24 h and t = 96 h samples were taken from 24-hour old solutions. 100 mL was taken from the approximate centre of the test vessels.
- Sample storage conditions before analysis: Samples were stored at room temperature for a maximum of 10 days until transportation to the testing facility for analysis. If not already used, the reserve samples were stored at room temperature for possible analysis for a maximum of three months after delivery of the draft report, pending on the decision of the sponsor for additional analysis. - Vehicle:
- no
- Details on test solutions:
- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
- Method: The test material was not soluble in test medium at the concentrations tested. Preparation of test solutions started with two dispersions of the stock solution in test medium at a nominal loading of 100 mg/L. The dispersions were magnetically stirred for approximately 24 hours in two volumetric flasks (volumes of 2 and 5 litres), after which they were left to stabilise for another 24 hours. The water fractions were then separated from the undissolved fraction of test material and both transferred to one 10-litre separation funnel by means of siphoning. The Water Accommodated Fraction (WAF) collected from the separatory funnel was used for testing. The lower test concentrations were prepared by subsequent dilution of the WAF in test medium. All test vessels were pre-conditioned for 30 minutes with approximately 1 litre of the corresponding test concentrations prior to the start of the test. Test solutions were renewed daily. - Test organisms (species):

DETERMINATION OF AVERAGE EXPOSURE CONCENTRATIONS
The average exposure concentrations for the periods between refreshment were calculated as (Ct = 0*Ct= 24)^1/2, being the geometric means of the mean concentrations of the test material measured in the duplicate samples taken at the start (Ct = 0) and the end of the 24-hour refreshment periods (Ct = 24). This was applied for the periods 0 to 24 hours and 72 to 96 hours of exposure.
The (rounded) arithmetic mean of the geometric mean exposure concentrations determined during these two refreshment periods was taken as the average exposure concentration for the total 96-hour test period.
MEASURED CONCENTRATIONS
The measured concentrations decreased by 25 or 50 % (first and last renewal period, respectively) relative to the initial measured concentrations during the 24-hour renewal periods. Analyses showed good repeatability of test solution preparation. The observed decrease in test concentrations was not unexpected considering the extremely low solubility of the test material in the test medium in combination with the difficulties encountered with the separation of the undissolved from the dissolved fraction, which is a common feature when testing WAFs. In addition, adsorption to organic matter or surface areas (i.e. glass walls) might have contributed to the observed decrease.
In some of the control samples Sn was measured in largely varying concentrations between duplicate samples. It is however most unlikely that the Sn measured originates from the test material. This is indicated by the fact that the measured concentrations in the 24-hour old solutions were generally higher than in the freshly prepared solution in combination with the large differences between duplicate measurements. Hence, measured concentrations at these low levels may not be firmly reliable. The origin of the measured Sn is unclear. Even if Sn originated from the test material, this is not considered to invalidate the test result, since no effects were observed in the control and/or in the much higher limit concentration tested.
An overview of the individual measurements for the control and the mean concentrations measured in the WAF (including the average exposure concentrations) is presented in Table 1. - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- Under the conditions of the present test with zebra-fish exposed to PCP, the 96 hour LC50 was estimated to correspond to 0.11 mg/L based on nominal concentrations, with 20 % mortality at 0.10 mg/L and 100 % mortality at 0.22 mg/L. This effect was already reached within 48 hours of exposure.
The range of the 96 hour LC50 for zebra-fish is generally between 0.10 and 0.46 mg/L based on historical data of reference tests performed. Hence, the sensitivity of zebra-fish originating from the present batch for PCP is relatively high in comparison to the sensitivity generally observed previously. - Sublethal observations / clinical signs:

- Executive summary:
The acute toxicity of the test material to zebra-fish (Brachydanio rerio) was investigated in a study which was conducted in accordance with the standardised guidelines OECD 203, EU Method C.1 and ISO 7346-2 Part 2 under GLP conditions.
A limit test was combined with a range-finding test in a semi-static system with daily renewal. Seven zebra-fish per test group were exposed to a blank-control and a Water Accommodated Fraction (WAF) prepared at a test material loading rate of 100 mg/L in the limit test, while three zebra-fish per test group were exposed to dilutions containing 0.1, 1.0 and 10 % of the WAF in the additional range-finding test.
Samples for analytical confirmation of actual exposure concentrations were taken from freshly prepared solutions of the blank-control and the undiluted WAF at t = 0 h and t = 72 h and from the 24-hour old solutions at t = 24 h and t = 96 h.
The test material induced no visible effects in zebra-fish at or below a WAF prepared at a loading rate of 100 mg/L.
Analysis showed that the measured concentrations decreased by 25 or 50 % (first and last renewal period, respectively) relative to the initial measured concentrations during the 24-hour renewal periods. Analyses showed good repeatability of test solution preparation. The study met the acceptability criteria prescribed by the guidelines and was considered valid.
Based on average measured concentrations, the NOEC corresponded to 0.084 mg of test material per litre. Consequently, the 96 hour LC50 for zebra-fish exposed to the test material exceeded an average exposure concentration of 0.084 mg/L.
