- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
- Method: As the test item is poorly soluble in deionized water as well in the test medium, preparation of test solution was performed using the WAF method (according to OECD Series on Testing and Assessment No. 23). 0.1500 g, 0.1502 g and 0.1505 g of the test item was suspended in 1500 mL of the dilution water (20X AAP Medium; see 5.4) in the first, second and third renewal periods, respectively. The loading rate of the test solutions was 100 mg test item/L at the start of each renewal period. The test solution was handled by ultrasonic bath for 10 minutes thereafter stirred rigorously for a period of 24 hours to achieve an equilibrated test concentration. The test solution was then filtrated through a membrane filter (0.45 µm) to separate the possible non-dissolved test material. The test solution was freshly prepared in the testing laboratory just before introduction of the test organisms and at start of each renewal period. - Test organisms (species):

- Preculture: 7 - 10 days (7 days in this study) before testing, sufficient colonies are transferred from the stock culture aseptically into fresh sterile medium and cultured under the conditions of the test prior to beginning the test.

RANGE-FINDING STUDY (non-GLP)
- Test concentrations: 100 mg (nominal)
- Results used to determine the conditions for the definitive study: Yes. Based on the results obtained during analytical method validation the test item is not regarded to be stable for the duration of 7 days in 20X AAP medium.

- The date of the last study with reference item 3,5-dichlorophenol was: 08 – 15 September 2017.
Endpoints of this study were: EyfnC50 (7 day, yield based on frond numbers): 3.980 mg/L, ErfnC50 (7 day, growth rate based on frond numbers): 6.053 mg/L, EydwC50 (7 day, yield based on dry weight): 2.906 mg/L, ErdwC50 (7 day, growth rate based on dry weight): 6.206 mg/L. - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- A limit test was performed; therefore, statistical analysis to determine the EC values was not necessary. For the determination of the LOEC and NOEC, the calculated mean growth rate and yield at the calculated test concentration were tested on significant differences to the control value using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Independent Sample T-test by SPSS PC+ software program. The data were checked for homogeneity of variance by Levene’s test.
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- In a Lemna sp. Growth Inhibition Test according to OECD Guideline 221 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 761/2009, Annex VI, C.26, the 7-d EC50 and the NOEC of the test item was > 0.023 mg/L (arithmetric mean measured; > 100 mg/L in nominal).
- Executive summary:
The toxicity of the test item to aquatic plants was assessed in a GLP-compliant Lemna sp.Growth Inhibition Test according to OECD Guideline 221 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 761/2009, Annex VI, C.26. Exponentially-growing cultures of Lemna gibba were exposed to the nominal concentration of 100 mg/L (highest concentration to be tested according to OECD 221) of the test item. Due to the low solubility of the test item, test solutions (six replicates) were prepared by utilizing the water accommodated fraction (WAF) approach method (according to OECD Series on Testing and Assessment No. 23). In addition a negative control (20 X AAP Medium; six replicates) and a positive control with the reference substance 3,5-dichlorophenol was performed. 400 mL Petri dishes-covered glass beakers were filled with 160 mL testing solutions. Two Lemna gibba colonies with four, and one colony with three fronds were added to each vessel. Visual assessment of growth and morphological changes was conducted on days 3, 5 and 7. As the test item is not stable for the duration of 7 days in 20 X AAP medium, the test and control solution were renewed twice during the test (on days 3 and 5). The test item concentration was measured by UV-Vis to be 0.023 mg/L (arithmetric mean). In result, the 7-d EC50 and NOEC of the test item was determined to be > 0.023 mg/L (arithmetric mean measured). In conclusion, the test item had no toxic effect at aquatic saturation (i.e. limit test concentration) on Lemna gibba; the overall LOEC is higher than the nominal concentration of 100 mg/L (solubility level) of the test item in the test medium, which corresponds to the mean measured concentration of 0.023 mg/L, based on water accomodated fraction. The validity criterion of the test guidelines was within the acceptable limit and therefore the study can be considered as valid.

Description of key information
In a Lemna sp.Growth Inhibition Test according to OECD Guideline 221 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 761/2009, Annex VI, C.26 with a WAF, the 7-d EC50 and the NOEC were higher than the solubility level of the test item in the test medium, which corresponds to a mean measured concentration of 0.023 mg/L (EC50: >100 mg/L nominal).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The toxicity of the test item to aquatic plants was assessed in a GLP-compliant Lemna sp.Growth Inhibition Test according to OECD Guideline 221 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 761/2009, Annex VI, C.26. Exponentially-growing cultures of Lemna gibba were exposed to the nominal concentration of 100 mg/L (highest concentration to be tested according to OECD 221) of the test item. Due to the low solubility of the test item, test solutions (six replicates) were prepared by utilizing the water accommodated fraction (WAF) approach method (according to OECD Series on Testing and Assessment No. 23). In addition a negative control (20 X AAP Medium; six replicates) and a positive control with the reference substance 3,5-dichlorophenol was performed. 400 mL Petri dishes-covered glass beakers were filled with 160 mL testing solutions. Two Lemna gibba colonies with four, and one colony with three fronds were added to each vessel. Visual assessment of growth and morphological changes was conducted on days 3, 5 and 7. As the test item is not stable for the duration of 7 days in 20 X AAP medium, the test and control solution were renewed twice during the test (on days 3 and 5). The test item concentration was measured by UV-Vis to be 0.023 mg/L (arithmetric mean). In result, the 7-d EC50 and NOEC of the test item was determined to be > 0.023 mg/L (arithmetric mean measured). The doubling time of frond number in the control was 1.90 days (less than 2.5 days). Thus, the validity criterion of the test guidelines was within the acceptable limit and therefore the study can be considered as valid.
