- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
- Method: Water-accomodated fractions: Nominal amounts of test item (20, 32, 20, 64 and 200 mg) were each separately added to the surface of 20, 10, 2.0, 2.0 and 2.0 liters of culture medium to give loading rates of 1.0, 3.2, 10, 32 and 100 mg/L. After the addition of the test item, the culture medium was stirred by magnetic stirrer using a stirring rate such that a vortex was formed to give a dimple at the water surface. The stirring was stopped after 95 hours and the mixtures allowed to stand for 1-Hour. A wide bore glass tube, covered at one end with Nescofilm was submerged into the vessel, sealed end down, to a depth of approximately 5 cm from the bottom of the vessel. A length of Tygon tubing was inserted into the glass tube and pushed through the Nescofilm seal. The aqueous phase or WAF was removed by mid-depth siphoning (the first 75 to 100 mL discarded) to give the 1.0, 3.2, 10, 32 and 100 mg/L loading rate WAFs. An aliquot (500 mL) of each of the loading rate WAFs was separately inoculated with algal suspension (4.7 mL) to give the required test concentrations of 1.0, 3.2, 10, 32 and 100 mg/L loading rate WAFs.

At the start of stirring all test item immediately became free of the glass slide. Microscopic examination of the WAFs showed there to be no micro-dispersions of test item present. - Test organisms (species):

TEST CONCENTRATIONS
- Spacing factor for test concentrations: 3.2
- Justification for using less concentrations than requested by guideline: N/A
- Range finding study: Yes: Nominal amounts of test item (20 and 200 mg) were each separately added to the surface of 2 liters of culture medium to give the 10 and 100 mg/L loading rates respectively. After the addition of the test item, the culture medium was stirred by magnetic stirrer using a stirring rate such that a vortex was formed to give a dimple at the water surface. The stirring was stopped after 95 hours and the mixtures allowed to stand for 1-Hour. Visual observations made on the WAFs indicated that a significant amount of dispersed test item was present in the water column and hence it was considered justifiable to remove the WAFs by filtering through a glass wool plug (2 to 4 cm in length). A wide bore glass tube, covered at one end with Nescofilm was submerged into the vessel, sealed end down, to a depth of approximately 5 cm from the bottom of the vessel. A length of Tygon tubing was inserted into the glass tube and pushed through the Nescofilm seal. A glass wool plug was inserted into the opposite end of the tubing and the WAF removed by mid-depth siphoning (the first 75 to 100 mL discarded) to give the 10 and 100 mg/L loading rate WAFs. An aliquot (500 mL) of each of the loading rate WAFs was separately inoculated with algal suspension (9.5 mL) to give the required test concentrations of 10 and 100 mg/L loading rate WAFs.

- Details on results:
- - Exponential growth in the control (for algal test): yes
- Observation of abnormalities (for algal test): None
- Unusual cell shape: None
- Colour differences: At the start of the test all control and test cultures were observed to be clear colorless solutions. After the 72-Hour test period all control, 1.0, 3.2, 10 and 32 mg/L loading rate WAF test cultures were observed to be green dispersions. Replicate 1 of the 100 mg/L loading rate WAF was observed to be a pale green dispersion, replicate 2 was a very pale green dispersion and replicate 3 was an extremely pale green dispersion.
- Flocculation: None reported
- Adherence to test vessels: None reported
- Aggregation of algal cells: None reported
- Other: The vortex depth was recorded at the start and end of the mixing period and was observed to have formed a dimple at the media surface.
- Any stimulation of growth found in any treatment: None reported
- Any observations (e.g. precipitation) that might cause a difference between measured and nominal values: Preliminary investigational work was carried out to determine whether stirring for a prolonged period produced significantly higher levels of dissolved test item in the WAF. A WAF of a nominal loading rate of 100 mg/L was prepared in duplicate in deionized reverse osmosis water and stirred using a stirring rate such that a vortex was formed to give a dimple at the water surface. It is evident from this work that increasing the stirring period significantly increased the amount of dissolved test item in the WAF between the 24-Hour (0.049 mg/L measured concentration) and 96-Hour (0.13 mg/L measured concentration) preparation periods and so preparation of the WAF was a 95-Hour stirring period followed by a 1-Hour standing period. Therefore, any risk of differences between emasured and nominal values was minimised.
- Effect concentrations exceeding solubility of substance in test medium: Chemical analysis of the test preparations at 0 and 72 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 0.071 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. - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- - Results with reference substance valid? Yes
- EC50:
ErC50 (0 to 72 hour): 1.6 mg/L; 95% confidence limits 1.4 to 1.8 mg/L
EyC50 (0 to 72 hour): 0.77 mg/L; 95% confidence limits 0.68 to 0.87 mg/L
- Other:
No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC) based on growth rate: 0.25 mg/L
No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC) based on yield: 0.25 mg/L
Lowest Observed Effect Concentration (LOEC) based on growth rate: 0.50 mg/L
Lowest Observed Effect Concentration (LOEC) based on yield: 0.50 mg/L
The results from the positive control with potassium dichromate were within the normal ranges for this reference item. - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- Statistical analysis of the growth rate data was carried out for the control and all loading rates using one way analysis of variance incorporating Bartlett's test for homogeneity of variance (Sokal and Rohlf, 1981) and Dunnett's multiple comparison procedure for comparing several treatments with a control (Dunnett, 1955). There were no statistically significant differences between the control, 1.0, 3.2, 10 and 32 mg/L loading rate WAFs (P≥0.05), however the 100 mg/L loading rate was significantly different (P<0.05) and, therefore the NOEL based on growth rate was 32 mg/L loading rate WAF. Correspondingly the Lowest Observed Effect Loading Rate (LOEL) based on growth rate was 100 mg/L loading rate WAF.
For each individual test vessel (mean values for yield), percentage inhibition (arithmetic axis) was plotted against test concentration (logarithmic axis) and a line fitted by computerized interpolation using the Xlfit software package (IDBS). ELx values were then determined from the equation for the fitted line.
Where appropriate 95% confidence limits for the EL50 values were calculated, using the simplified method of evaluating dose-effect experiments of Litchfield and Wilcoxon (1949). - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of this test, the exposure to the test item gave the following results:
ErC50 (0 to 72 hour): 1.6 mg/L; 95% confidence limits 1.4 to 1.8 mg/L
EyC50 (0 to 72 hour) : 0.77 mg/L; 95% confidence limits 0.68 to 0.87 mg/L - Executive summary:
A study was performed to assess the effect of the test item on the growth of the green alga Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata. The method followed was designed to be compatible with the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals (2006) No 201, "Freshwater Alga and Cyanobacteria, Growth Inhibition Test" referenced as Method C.3 of Commission Regulation (EC) 761/2009.
The test item was prepared as a water accomodated fraction given its low solubility and complexity. Following a range-finding test (10 and 100 mg/L), a definitive test was conducted at 1.0, 3.2, 10, 32 and 100 mg/L nominal loading rates alongside controls.
Analysis of the test preparations at 0 and 72 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 0.071 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.
No cell abnormalities were recorded in any control or cell cultures; and the control, and 1.0 - 32 mg/L cultures were observe to be green dispersions by the end of the test.
All validity criteria were fulfilled (the control cell concentration increased by a factor greater 16 during the test; the mean of the coefficients of variation of the section by section specific growth rates in the control cultures (Days 0 to 1, 1 to 2 and 2 to 3) did not exceed 35%; the coefficient of variation of average specific growth rate in replicate control cultures did not exceed 7%). The positive reference control was also valid.
Exposure of the algae to the test substance gave the following results:
Inhibition growth rate
ErL10 (0 to 72 hour) : 45 mg/L loading rate WAF
ErL20 (0 to 72 hour) : 70 mg/L loading rate WAF
ErL50 (0 to 72 hour) : >100 mg/L loading rate WAF
Inhibition yield
EyL10 (0 to 72 hour) : 13 mg/L loading rate WAF
EyL20 (0 to 72 hour) : 21 mg/L loading rate WAF
EyL50 (0 to 72 hour) : 49 mg/L loading rate WAF; 95% confidence limits 42 to 57 mg/L loading rate WAF

Chemical analysis of the 10 and 100 mg/L loading rate WAF test preparations at 0 hours showed measured test concentrations of 0.080 and 0.72 mg/L respectively were obtained. A decline in measured test concentrations was observed at 72 hours to less than the LOQ, determined to be 0.071 mg/L, and 0.14 mg/L for the 10 and 100 mg/L loading rate WAF test preparations respectively indicating that the test item was unstable under the conditions of the test.
Description of key information
ErL50 (0 to 72 hour, growth rate inhibition) : >100 mg/L loading rate WAF; EyL50 (0 to 72 hour, yield inhibition) : 49 mg/L loading rate WAF OECD 201; Vryenhoef (2018).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- EC10 or NOEC for freshwater algae:
- 32 mg/L
Additional information
A single key study was performed to assess the effect of the test item on the growth of the green algaPseudokirchneriella subcapitata. The method followed was designed to be compatible with the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals (2006) No 201, "Freshwater Alga and Cyanobacteria, Growth Inhibition Test" referenced as Method C.3 of Commission Regulation (EC) 761/2009.
The test item was prepared as a water accomodated fraction given its low solubility and complexity. Following a range-finding test (10 and 100 mg/L), a definitive test was conducted at 1.0, 3.2, 10, 32 and 100 mg/L nominal loading rates alongside controls.
Analysis of the test preparations at 0 and 72 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 0.071 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.
No cell abnormalities were recorded in any control or cell cultures; and the control, and 1.0 - 32 mg/L cultures were observe to be green dispersions by the end of the test.
All validity criteria were fulfilled (the control cell concentration increased by a factor greater 16 during the test; the mean of the coefficients of variation of the section by section specific growth rates in the control cultures (Days 0 to 1, 1 to 2 and 2 to 3) did not exceed 35%; the coefficient of variation of average specific growth rate in replicate control cultures did not exceed 7%). The positive reference control was also valid.
Exposure of the algae to the test substance gave the following results:
Inhibition growth rate
ErL10 (0 to 72 hour) : 45 mg/L loading rate WAF
ErL20 (0 to 72 hour) : 70 mg/L loading rate WAF
ErL50 (0 to 72 hour) : >100 mg/L loading rate WAF
Inhibition yield
EyL10 (0 to 72 hour) : 13 mg/L loading rate WAF
EyL20 (0 to 72 hour) : 21 mg/L loading rate WAF
EyL50 (0 to 72 hour) : 49 mg/L loading rate WAF; 95% confidence limits 42 to 57 mg/L loading rate WAF
