Additional information
There is one GLP guideline study available, which assessed the effects of substance towards aquatic invertebrates (Daphnia magna) according to the OECD guideline 202. As the test item is a volatile substance, the test was performed using glass tubes completely filled (without headspace) with test medium that were tightly sealed with glass stoppers to avoid losses of test item by evaporation (closed system). A semi-static test design with a test medium renewal after 24 hours was used. Due to the low water solubility of the test item, the test media were prepared as saturated solution with a loading rate of 100 mg/L. Therefore 100 mg/L test item was mixed in test water, and was intensively stirred for 3 hours. After stirring the emulsion was filtered through a 0.45 μm membrane filter. The undiluted filtrate and the dilutions 1:3.2, 1:10, 1:32, and 1:100 of the filtrate were used as test media and analytically verified by HPLC-UV analysis. At the end of the two renewal periods, the test item concentrations were in the range of 10 to 54% of the initially measured values, demonstrating a decrease of the test item concentrations during the 24-h renewal period. The mean measured test item concentration were calculated as the arithmetic mean of the two geometric means measured at test start and end of each medium renewal period. An EC50 (48 h) of 2.3 mg/L based on immobilisation was calculated (arithmetic mean measured concentration).
