The acute toxicity of the test substance to Daphnia magna was determined in the study performed following the EPA EG-1 guideline and in compliance with GLP principles. The test was performed under static conditions in freshwater with the following seven concentrations: 0.00016, 0.00031, 0.00063, 0.00125, 0.00250, 0.00500 and 0.01000 mg/L (nominal). Two control groups of animals were included: One control group was exposed to dilution water only and in the second control was the vehicle control group exposed to the solvent (DMF and Alkylphenol-polyglycolether). Ten Daphnia magna were loaded into each of 2 replicate test vessels per treatment. To check the concentrations of the test substance, high performance liquid chromatography was used at 0 and 48 hours. Daphnia magna were assessed for toxic effects at 3, 6, 24 and 48 hours. The EC50 values were calculated according to J. BERKSON, JASA 48 (1953), 569-599.
Results showed that the measured concentrations were not in close agreement (46-100%) with the nominal concentrations both at the beginning and at the end of the test. Therefore the results are based on nominal concentrations of the test substance. The 48-hour EC50 was determined to be 1.1 µg/L.

Ten mysides (< 24 hours old) per replicate (2 replicates/control and treatment groups, 1 replicate/vehicle control) were tested at 25 ± 1 °C and 32 ‰ salinity level. Results showed that the 96-hour LC50 was 0.042 µg/L. The no observed effect concentration was < 0.021 µg/L. The water quality parameters remained within acceptable limits througout the exposure period for survival of mysid shrimp.

Additional information
There are five standard guidelines and GLP-compliant studies available for this endpoint. All these studies followed EPA 72-2, EPA 72-3, EPA EG-1 or OECD TG 235 guidelines. The 48-h study on Daphnia (Rufli 1986, Reliability 2) and 96-h study on mysid shrimp (Suprenant 1987, Reliability 1) were selected as key studies because they represent the worst-case effects (i.e. showed the lowest E(L)C50 value) for freshwater and marine water conditions, respectively. Daphnia magna was exposed to the test substance under static condition at concentrations of 0.00016, 0.00031, 0.00063, 0.00125, 0.00250, 0.00500 and 0.01000 mg/L (nominal). One blank control group was exposed to dilution water only, and one vehicle control group was exposed to the solvent (DMF and Alkylphenol-polyglycolether). Ten Daphnia magna were loaded into each of 2 replicate test vessels per treatment. The 48-hour EC50 was determined to be 0.0011 mg/L (based on mean measured concentration). The marine shrimp, Americamysis bahia, was exposed under static conditions to 0.080, 0.13, 0.22, 0.36, 0.60 and 1.0 µg/L 14C-labelled test substance (initial measured concentrations of 0.021, 0.035, 0.073, 0.17, 0.30 and 0.83 µg/L, respectively) for 96 hours. Ten mysids per replicate (2 replicates/blank control and treatment groups, 1 replicate/vehicle control) were tested at 25 ± 1 °C and 32 ‰ salinity level. The LC50 was determined to be 0.042 µg/L, based on initial measured concentrations.
The other three studies (two studies on Daphnia magna and one study on Chironomus riparius) are included as supporting studies. In the Daphnia magna studies, the test organisms were exposed to 14C-labelled test substance for 48 hours. The EC50 value was determined to be 0.0013 mg/L (nominal) in a no sediment included study (Forbis 1986a; Reliability 1) and was determined to be 0.004 mg/L (nominal) in a sediment-included study, whereas a decrease in test substance concentration in the water phase was observed. After 48 hours, 60 – 88% of the nominal concentration was found in the sediment phase (Forbis 1986b; Reliability 1). In the Chironomus riparius study (Bradley 2022; Reliability 1), the test organisms were exposed to nominal concentrations of 2.0, 4.0, 8.0, 16, and 32 μg/L for 48 hours (corresponded to geometric mean measured concentrations of 1.6, 3.0, 6.2, 12, and 21 μg/L, respectively). The 48-hour EC50 value was determined to be 10 μg/L, based on geometric mean measured concentrations.
Metabolite - available information
Two 48-hour toxicity studies on Daphnia magna are available with the major degradation products (i.e. M4 and M6). As the dossier has been prepared to address the test substance itself, these studies are not summarised as endpoint study records but are briefly discussed here. Both studies followed EPA 72-2 guideline or OECD TG 202, and compliant with GLP. The EC50 value for M4 was determined to be 2.6 mg/L (Grade 2001). The EC50 value for M6 was determined to be 0.88 mg/L in the original report (Grade 1994). This EC50 was later recalculated outside of the original study and determined to be 0.95 mg/L.
