Test solutions
- Vehicle:
- no
- Details on test solutions:
- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION
- Method: A water-accommodated fraction of the load 100.1 mg/L was prepared for the test. This was done by mixing the nominal load with the corresponding amount of nutrient medium (demineralised water enriched with minerals but without algae) and shaking vigorously for 24 h. The resulting solution was filtered through 0.45 µm Nylon filters. The lower treatments were prepared by dilution of this solution with nutrient medium.
- Controls: Deionised water with nutrient medium and alga.
Test organisms
- Test organisms (species):
- Desmodesmus subspicatus (previous name: Scenedesmus subspicatus)
- Details on test organisms:
- TEST ORGANISM
- Common name: freshwater green microalgae
- Strain: SAG 86.81
- Source: MBM Sciencebridge GmbH (Institut für Pflanzenphysiologie of Universität Göttingen, Germany), Feb 2014.
- Age of inoculum (at test initiation): 4 d
- Method of cultivation: The algae are kept as stock culture on solid agar at 7 °C. From the stock culture, a permanent culture was prepared. From an aliquot of the permanent culture, the pre-culture was prepared. Four days before the start of the test, an aliquot of the permananent culture was brought into pre-culture medium and incubated under continuous lighting for 96 h. The resulting culture is growing exponentially.

- ErC50 (72 h) = 0.99 mg/L potassium dichromate (95% confidence interval: 0.94 - 1.1 mg/L). - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- For the treatment with the test item concentration 0.1 mg/L, it was tested whether the differences between treatment and control were significant. The values for the yield and for the growth rate were used for the assessment of observed effect levels.
In order to select a suitable test for significance, it was checked whether equality of variance was given. The calculated value F was compared with the F-test table (level of significance 95%). If the calculated value was smaller than the tabular value, equality of variance was given.
As equality of variance was given, the t-test was used.
With the t-test, it was checked whether the differences are significnat. Significance is given if the calculated t-value is bigger than the limit of significance (t-value taken from the table with grade of freedom: n1 + n2-2, level of significance 95%).
For the endpoints growth rate and yield, the differences between the nominal concentration 0.1 mg/L and the control can be considered as significant (level of significance: 97.5%) as the calculated t-values were higher than the limit of significance.
The estimation of the EC50s and EC10s of the test item was accomplished with the software Origin. The data were evaluated with a sigmoidal fit.

ANALYTICAL RESULTS
At the start and at the end of the test, the content of dissolved organic carbon in the test solutions was determined using a carbon analyser.
Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) was calculated by subtraction of the inorganic carbon values (IC) from the total organic carbon values (TC).
The detected concentrations of dissolved organic carbon were in the same range in all treatments (control and treatments) except for the highest treatment. Only in the highest treatment, the presence of dissolved test item was observable (Table 1). Therefore, the determination of the results was based on the nominal concentrations.

BIOLOGICAL RESULTS
Because the test item is light sensitive, it is not determinable whether toxicity was caused by the test item or by its metabolites. Degradation resp. transformation under test conditions was clearly observed by a change of colour in the higher concentrated test solutions. At the end of the test, absorption in the two highest treatments was lower than at the start of the test. In the microscopic observation, no algal cells could be detected in these treatments. Therefore, their inhibition was stated as 100%. As decolouration of the test item also occurred in the lower treatments, the increase of the measured absorption values at the end of the test might be reduced by decolouration. That means that the calculated inhibition values based on photometric measuremet might be slightly increased. Therefore, the result of the test is regarded as worst-case scenario.
In the two highest treatments, no algal cells were visible at the end of the test and absorption at the end of the test was lower than at the start of the test. Therefore, inhibition of algal growth was stated as 100% for these treatments. In the third highest treatment (10 mg/L nominal concentration), no cells were visible in the microscopical observation at the end of the test. As a slight increase of absorption at the end of the test compared to the absorption at the start of the test was observed, a slight growth of algae was estimated. Therefore, the detected absorptions were used for determination of cell numbers and evaluation of inhibition values.
