- Details on sampling:
- Samples of stock solution and test solutions were taken to determine the actual test item concentrations in comparison to the nominally applied concentrations. Control and test solutions were sampled in duplicate using volumetric glass pipettes. The duplicate samples were kept separately as a reserve. The nominal volume per sample was 20 mL. The volume of each sample was recorded.
After sampling and before shipment, all samples were stored in amber glass bottles in the dark at a temperature of ≤ -18 °C. A record was kept for each sample. Sampling was done at the start of exposure and after 48 hours of exposure.
Samples of untreated test medium were provided to the analytical laboratory in order to determine the recovery of the analytical method with the specific test medium. Samples were transferred to the test site for chemical analysis under the required storage conditions.
Analysis was performed according to an analytical method validated by the test site for chemical analysis. - Details on test solutions:
- A series of concentrations of the test item in aqueous solution was prepared, and the test organisms were exposed to these concentrations, as well as to controls without the test item, for a period of 48 hours. During the test period the test solutions were not aerated and not renewed. The following concentrations in a geometrical series (spacing factor: 2.8) were tested in the definitive test: 0.81, 2.28, 6.38, 17.9 and 50.0 mg test item/L.

- Results with reference substance (positive control):
- The reference test with potassium dichromate resulted in an EC50(24 h) of 1.68 mg/l..
According to the OECD guideline No. 202 (OECD, April 2004) EC50(24 h)-values for potassium dichromate obtained from different laboratories should range between 0.6 mg/l and 2.1 mg/l.
The toxicity of the reference item is within this range. Therefore the results of this reference test are acceptable and the test conditions are reliable and the sensitivity of the test system could be demonstrated. - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The 48-hour acute toxicity of test substance to the Daphnia magna, was determined in accordance with the requirements of OECD Chemicals Testing Guideline No. 202 Daphnia sp. Acute Immobilisation Test. Based on geometric mean measured concentrations, the 48-hour EC50 value was determined to be 20.5 mg/L. The No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC) based on statistical evaluation of immobility is 17.9 mg/L based on nominal concentrations which corresponds to a mean measured concentration of 12.2 mg/L.
- Executive summary:
The 48-hour acute toxicity of test substance to the Daphnia magna was conducted in accordance with the requirements of OECD Guideline 202 Daphnia sp. Acute Immobilisation Test.
Based on the results of a range-finding test, for which the key results only have been reported, the definitive test was conducted at nominal concentrations of 0.81, 2.28, 6.38, 17.9 and 50.0 mg/L. A control group was also included.
At the start of the test, five juvenile Daphnia magna were added to each test vessel. The Daphnia magna in each test vessel were observed at 24 and 48 hours. The Daphnia magna were not fed during the test. Analysis of the test media samples was conducted at 0 (fresh media) and 48 hours (old media). Analysis of the freshly prepared test media at 0 hours showed measured concentrations to range from 66 to 77% of nominal.
The No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC) based on statistical evaluation of immobility is 17.9 mg/L based on nominal concentrations which corresponds to a mean measured concentration of 12.2 mg/L. In terms of geometric mean measured concentrations the 48-hour EC50 value was determined to be 20.5 mg/L. The validity criteria for control immobility (≤10%) and dissolved oxygen (>3 mg/L) were both satisfied.

Limit of quantification (LOQ): 0.4 mg/L; < LOD: below the limit of detection (i.e. < 0.12 mg/L); n.a.: not applicable
Since the geometric mean of the measured concentrations was not between 80 and 120% of nominal, the biological endpoints are expressed based on nominal and on measured concentrations.
No significant interferences from the test medium were detected at the retention time corresponding to the analyte in any of the control specimens.
The validity criteria are immobilised daphnids in the control should be less than or equal to10% and dissolved oxygen concentration in control and test vessels at the end of the test should be greater than or equal to 3 mg/L. Signs of disease or stress, for example, discoloration or unusual behaviour such as trapping at surface of water, did not exceed 10 per cent of the daphnids in the controls.
The No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC) based on statistical evaluation of immobility is 17.9 mg/L based on nominal concentrations. This corresponds to a mean measured concentration of 12.2 mg/L. No considerable sub-lethal effects were observed at or below this same test concentration.
