Test solutions

Details on test solutions:

The water solubility of the test item in medium was tested in a pre-experiment.
Due to the observed low water solubility a stock dispersion was prepared by
stirring 100 mg test item/L test medium (see 4.4) at room temperature in the dark
for 48 hours to dissolve a maximum amount of the test item.
The test solution was withdrawn from the middle of the preparation vessel by
suction. Transfer of undissolved test item was avoided as far as possible. The
preparation of the stock dispersion was based on the OECD Guidance Document
No. 23 on Aquatic Toxicity Testing of Difficult Substances and Mixtures (2000).
The solubility of the test item in test medium was very low, flocculation at the
surface and the bottom of the beakers during the test period was observed in the
test solution.
The test solution volume was 50 mL per test vessel.

Test organisms

Test organisms (species):

Daphnia magna

Details on test organisms:

TEST ORGANISM
- Common name: Daphnia magna
- Strain:Daphnia magna STRAUS, Clone V,
- Source: German Federal Environment Agency (UBA).
- Age at study initiation (mean and range, SD): ma. 24 h
- Method of breeding:Daphnia magna was bred as single culture (one daphnid per 100 mL) in Elendt
M4 medium. The pH-value of the aerated water was within a range of 6.0 – 9.0.
The dissolved oxygen was above 60 % saturation and the total hardness 140 -
250 mg/L (as CaCO3). The animals were fed with single cell green algae
(Desmodesmus subspicatus, formerly Scenedesmus subspicatus) at least three
times a week.

Results and discussion

Effect concentrations

Effect concentrations 1

Duration:

48 h

Dose descriptor:

EC0

Effect conc.:

9.78 mg/L

Effect concentrations 2

Duration:

48 h

Dose descriptor:

EC50

Effect conc.:

> 9.78 mg/L

Effect concentrations 3

Duration:

48 h

Dose descriptor:

EC100

Effect conc.:

> 9.78 mg/L

Results with reference substance (positive control):

The results indicate an EC50 (24 h) of the reference item potassium dichromate of
2.0 mg/L. Since the results fall within the historical data generated with the
reference item at the testing facility and are within the range of 0.6 - 2.1 mg/L
recommended by the test guideline OECD 202, the daphnids were suitable for
the determination of the toxicological effects of the test item.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:

yes

Conclusions:

According to the results of the test, the EC50 and EC100 (48 h) are
supposed to be > 9.78 mg test item/L (actual measured). The EC0
(48 h) was observed at 9.78 mg test item/L (actual measured).
Hence, BI 10773 Ketone had no acute toxic effect in Daphnia
magna up to its water solubility limit.
