EC number: 232-350-7 | CAS number: 8006-64-2 Any of the volatile predominately terpenic fractions or distillates resulting from the solvent extraction of, gum collection from, or pulping of softwoods. Composed primarily of the C10H16 terpene hydrocarbons: α-pinene, β-pinene, limonene, 3-carene, camphene. May contain other acyclic, monocyclic, or bicyclic terpenes, oxygenated terpenes, and anethole. Exact composition varies with refining methods and the age, location, and species of the softwood source.

- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION
- Method:The test item is a complex mixture with a low water solubility. To avoid adverse physical effects of undissolved or emulsified test material on the Fish, the Fish Test was carried out with aqueous extracts (WAF = Water Accommodated Fraction) at various loading rates of the test item in tap water.
In a preliminary study with a test item of comparably low water solubility (Sylvablend TM PF 40, STZ No. 01-05-001; study sponsor Arizona Chemical), the durations of the stirring and phase separation phases of WAF preparation were investigated. Water Accommodated Fractions were prepared and analysed following a range of mixing and settling periods to ensure optimal equilibrium and phase separation of the test item in the WAFs. Quantitation of dissolved constituent concentrations was achieved by TOC analysis (TOC = Total Organic Carbon).
Taking into account the results of this preliminary WAF-study, the WAFs for the Fish Test were prepared by stirring various amounts of the test item in tap water for 24 h with magnetic stirrers. The WAFs were prepared in 20 L solid-glass fish tanks. The test item was weighed onto watch glasses that afterwards were placed into the solid-glass fish tanks. The fish tanks were then filled with tap water and closed immediately with a glass plate. The mixing was carried out at a speed that was slow enough not to cause dispersion or emulsification of the undissolved fraction of the test item. To ensure this, the vortex developed at the surface by stirring was set at approximately 10 % of the water depth. After stirring for 24 h the WAFs were allowed to stand for 1 h before use to facilitate phase separation. The WAFs were then siphoned with a glass tube and transferred into the test vessels, i.e. 20 L solid-glass fish tanks, that were closed with a glass plate immediately after the transfer.
For the Fish Test Water Accommodated Fractions were prepared in 20 L solid-glass fish tanks and replenished after each successive 24-h exposure period (i.e. semi-static test) for a total exposure period of 96 hours. Preparation of WAFs started the previous day and the WAFs were used for the Fish Test the next day. The WAFs obtained using this method were clear.
The Control media (tap water) for the Fish Test were treated in the same way as the WAFs.
- Controls: Dilution water
- Evidence of undissolved material (e.g. precipitate, surface film, etc): The test substance was not fully soluble at the tested loading rate. However the method of preparing the WAFs was designed to mimimise exposure to undissolved test material. - Test organisms (species):

- Nominal and measured concentrations:
- Nominal loading rates: 0(Control), 2.5, 5.0, 10, 25 and 50 mg/L WAF
TOC-values confirmed the low water solubility of the test item (Table 2). The deviations of the TOC-values in the control and at test loading rates of 2.5 mg/L, 10 mg/L and 50 mg/L lie within or very close to the confidence-limits (± 0.3 mg C/L) of these measurements. Therefore, the WAFs were considered to remain approximately stable over the 96-h test period.
Analysis of the Control medium and the WAFs in the Fish Test revealed, that the total concentrations of fingerprint constituents, determined by GC-MS analysis, decreased to 82 % of the initial value at test loading rate 2.5 mg/L at observation period 0 - 24 h and to 90 % of the initial value at observation period 72 - 96 h. Total concentrations of fingerprint components decreased to 64 % of the initial value at test loading rate 10 mg/L at observation period 0 - 24 h and were stable with 103 % of the initial value at observation period 72 - 96 h. Total concentrations of fingerprint components decreased to 88 % of the initial value at test loading rate 50 mg/L at observation period 0 - 24 h.
Quantitative GC-MS-values were definitely lower compared to TOC-values. This is caused by the fact that only fingerprints of the sample were detected by GC-MS analysis whilst TOC analysis detected Total Organic Carbon as a sum parameter.
The test results are reported with reference to nominal loading rate. - Details on test conditions:

Reference
Description of key information
A 96h-LL50 of 29 mg/l and NOELR of 5 mg/l have been determined for the effect of the test substance on mortality of Danio rerio. The substance had a sulfur content of 0.02%. A 96h- LL50 of 45.1 mg/l and NOELR of 5 mg/l have been determined for the same endpoint in a second test conducted on a sample of the substance with a sulfur content of 3.6%. It is therefore concluded that the two samples were equally toxic to fish.
The above data are consistent with the data available for UVCBs hydrocarbons, terpene-processing by-products (CAS 68956-56-9) which share a large number of their constituents with TOPP. The 96h-LL50 of around 5 mg/L was reported for this substance.
The 96h-LC50 of alpha-pinene, a constituent of block 1 of TOPP, has been determined as 0.30 mg/l.
