- Executive summary:
The acute toxicity of diethyl bis(2-hydroxyethyl)aminomethylphosphonate to daphnia magna was investigated in a flow-through GLP study following OECD 202. Daphnids were exposed to a geometric series of five test concentrations and a negative (dilution water) control for 48 hours under flow-through conditions. Two replicate test chambers were maintained in each treatment and control group, with 10 daphnids in each test chamber for a total of 20 daphnids per concentration. Nominal test concentrations were selected in consultation with the Sponsor based on the results of an exploratory range finding toxicity test. Nominal test concentrations selected were 63, 125, 250, 500 and 1000 mg test item. Mean measured test concentrations were determined from samples of test water collected from each treatment and control group at the beginning and end of the test. Delivery of the test substance was initiated one day prior to test initiation in order to achieve equilibrium of the test substance in the test chambers. The concentration in the test chambers was confirmed prior to the start of the test after conditioning the diluter for approximately eight hours. Daphnids were impartially assigned to test chambers at test initiation. Observations of mortality, immobility and other signs of toxicity were made approximately 7, 24 and 48 hours after test initiation. Cumulative percent mortality and immobility observed in the treatment groups were used to estimate EC50 values at 24 and 48 hours. The no-mortality/immobility concentration and the noobserved-effect concentration (NOEC) were determined by visual interpretation of the mortality, immobility and observation data. An EC50 of higher than 936 mg/L (arimethic mean of the analytically determined test concentrations) was determined. The no-mortality/immobility concentration and the NOEC were 936 mg/L. This toxicity study is classified as acceptable and satisfies the guideline requirements for the acute Daphnia study.

Description of key information
The acute toxicity of diethyl bis(2-hydroxyethyl)aminomethylphosphonate to Daphnia magna was investigated in a flow-through GLP study following OECD TG 202 (Palmer, 2005). The study reported of no effects after 48 hours of exposure. An EC50 of higher than 936 mg/L (arimethic mean of the analytically determined test concentrations) was determined, corresponding to the highest tested concentration. The no-mortality/immobility concentration and the NOEC were 936 mg/L.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
A fully reliable, guideline, GLP study is available, and therefore considered as key.
