- Details on results:
- The geometric mean measured test concentrations of the samples were calculated as follows:
0 1 C C = GM
Where:
GM = geometric mean measured test concentration (mg/L)
C0 = measured concentration at the start of the period of media renewal (mg/L)
C1 = measured concentration at the end of the period of media renewal (mg/L)
The geometric mean measured concentrations for each period of media renewal were determined (0 to 24 and 24 to 48 hour) and the mean of the two values calculated
No sub-lethal effects of exposure were observed in the control, 7.4 or 15 mg/L test concentrations throughout the test. Reduced mobility was observed at test concentrations of 26, 49 and 71 mg/L at 24 hours - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- N/A
- Reported statistics and error estimates:
- The EC50 values and associated confidence limits at 24 and 48 hours and the slope of the response curve and its standard error were calculated by Probit analysis using Linear Maximum-Likelihood regression. The Lowest Observed Effect Concentration (LOEC) and the No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC) at 24 and 48 hours were calculated using the Step-down Cochran-Armitage Test Procedure incorporating Tarone’s Test Procedure and Qualitive Trend Analysis by Contrasts. All results were calculated using the ToxRat Professional computer software package.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Remarks:
- The results of the test are considered valid if the following performance criteria are met: 1. No more than 10% of the control daphnids show immobilization 2.The DO concentration at the end of the test is > 3 mg/L in Control & test vessels
- Conclusions:
- Exposure of freshwater invertebrate Daphnia magna to the test item has been investigated and the NOEC and EC50 was derived based on the mean measured concentrations. The endpoint was the mobility of the daphnia sp.
EC50: 20 mg/L, 95% confidence limit (18 to 22 mg/L) - Executive summary:
Daphnia sp., 48-Hour Acute Immobilization Test-OECD 202 was performed on n-Bal. In the study, <24h old daphnia were used. A range-finding study was performed with 3 different concentrations 1.0, 10, and 100mg/L. a definitive study with 5 different concentrations was conducted thereafter to investigate the EC50 (mg/L) where the selected nominal concentrations were 10, 18, 32, 56, and 100 mg/L for 48 hours which were replaced by the mean measured concentrations of 7.4, 15, 26, 49 and 71 mg/L. respectively due to low recovery (less than 80%). The EC50 derived was based on the immobility of daphnia which is 20 mg/L, (95% confidence limit 18 to 22 mg/L).
