Observations on Test Item Solubility
At the start of the mixing period the 100 mg/L loading rate was observed to be a clear colorless water column with test item floating at the surface of the water. After 23 hours stirring and a one hour standing period the 100 mg/L loading rate was observed to be a very slightly hazy water column with test item floating at the surface and dispersed throughout. As visual examination of the WAF showed there to be dispersed test item present it was considered justifiable to remove the WAF by filtering through a glass wool plug (2 to 4 cm in length) and filter paper. Microscopic examination after filtering showed the glass wool plug and filter paper had removed all of the dispersed test item.
During the test the control and 100 mg/L loading rate WAF were observed to be clear, colorless solutions.
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The acute toxicity of the test item to the freshwater fish rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) was investigated and gave a 96 Hour LL50 value of > 100 mg/L loading rate WAF.
- Executive summary:
A study was performed to assess the acute toxicity of the test item to rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). The method followed was designed to be compatible with the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals (1992) No 203, "Fish, Acute Toxicity Test" referenced as Method C.1 of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008.
Due to the low aqueous solubility and complex nature of the test item, for the purposes of the test, the test medium was prepared as a Water Accommodated Fraction (WAF).
Following a preliminary range finding test, seven fish were exposed to a WAF of the test item, at a single nominal loading rate of 100 mg/L for a period of 96 hours at a temperature of 13 C to 14 ºC under semi static test conditions. The number of mortalities and any sub lethal effects of exposure in each test and control vessel were determined one and three hours after the start of exposure and then daily throughout the test until termination after 96 hours.
Chemical analysis of the test preparations at 0, 24, 72 and 96 hours showed measured test concentrations of less than the limit of quantification (LOQ) of the analytical method employed were obtained which was determined to be 0.072 mg/L. This does not infer that no test item was in solution, just that any dissolved test item was at a concentration of less than the LOQ.
Given that the toxicity cannot be attributed to a single component or a mixture of components, but to the test item as a whole, the results were based on nominal loading rates only.
Exposure of rainbow trout to the test item gave LL50 values of greater than 100 mg/L loading rate WAF. The No Observed Effect Loading (NOEL) Rate was 100 mg/L loading rate WAF.
