- Details on sampling:
- - Samples (approximately 150 mL) of the definitive test solutions and controls were collected into Teflon® capped glass bottles (250 mL, no preservative). Samples were collected immediately prior to test commencement (0 hour), after 48 hours and at test termination for analysis.
- All samples were refrigerated until transported to ISI and kept refrigerated by ISI until analysis was conducted. Samples collected at the beginning and end of the test were analysed within 24 hours of sample collection, whereas samples collected after 48 hours were analysed two days after sample collection. - Vehicle:
- no
- Details on test solutions:
- - Duplicate test solutions of 1000 mg/L (nominal concentration) were prepared by direct addition of the test material in the test water and without the use of any solubilising agents. Due to the low solubility of the test material, the duplicate test solutions were prepared in 20 L glass aspirator bottles, stirred for approximately 4 days at a rate sufficient to maintain a vortex between approximately 10 - 35% of the solution depth using a stir bar and stir plate. The solutions were settled for approximately 1 hour prior to being dispensed into the test vessels.
- The first ~ 1000 mL of solution removed from each glass aspirator was disposed via the bottom port of the glass aspirator.
- The test included a procedural control (prepared in the same fashion as the test solution, except that no test material is added) and a negative control (i.e., 100% dilution water with no test material added). - Test organisms (species):
- Oncorhynchus mykiss (previous name: Salmo gairdneri)

TEST MEDIUM / WATER PARAMETERS
- Source/preparation of dilution water: The source of water used for holding and testing rainbow trout was moderately hard groundwater (water hardness ~350 mg/L as CaCO3, pH 7.8 - 8.1) from an aquifer in Aberfoyle, Ontario, Canada. Prior to use, the water was filtered through a 20-micron cellulose-acetate filter and diluted with Reverse Osmosis (RO) water to a hardness of 240 mg/L (as CaCO3). A continuous supply of oil-free compressed air was provided to bring the pH and concentrations of dissolved oxygen and other gases into equilibrium with air. The concentration of dissolved oxygen in the water was maintained at > 80% of the air saturation value. Water quality parameters (including pH, dissolved oxygen, conductivity and temperature) necessary for the survival of the test organisms were monitored and documented on a regular basis.
- Intervals of water quality measurement: Water quality parameters (including dissolved oxygen, pH, and conductivity) were measured daily in all test solutions. Dilution water hardness was measured at the beginning of the test.
OTHER TEST CONDITIONS
- Adjustment of pH: no
- Photoperiod: 16-hour light, 8-hour dark (with 30 minute transition period)
- Light intensity: Ambient laboratory illumination, 100 to 500 lux
EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED: For all test solutions and controls, fish mortality was recorded after 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours of exposure. Test organisms were considered dead if there was no evidence of opercular or other activity and did not respond to subsequent gentle prodding.
DEFINITIVE TEST
- The test material was assessed for acute toxicity to rainbow trout based on a static, 96 hour acute test. The definitive test was conducted as a single concentration Limit Test at a nominal concentration of 1000 mg/L.
- The individual 1000 mg/L test solutions (n = 2 replicates; A, B) were prepared by adding 18.0425 g (replicate A) and 18.0050 g (replicate B) of the test material into separate 20 L glass aspirator bottles labelled, replicates A and B, respectively, with 18 L of dilution water. A total of twenty fish (i.e., 2 replicates each with 10 fish) were exposed to each test and control treatments under static test conditions. - Reference substance (positive control):

- DEFINITIVE TEST RESULTS
- Confirmation of Exposure Concentrations: Nominal, measured and Time-Weighted Mean (TWM) concentrations of the test material determined on samples collected at the beginning (0 h), middle (48 h) and end (96 h) of the test are provided in Table 1. Measured concentrations of the nominal 1000 mg/L test solutions from replicates A and B collected after 48 and 96 hours were similar (i.e., within a factor of 1.3), but differed by a factor of approximately 2 for samples collected at the beginning of the test. Measured concentrations were generally higher at all times in replicate A relative to B. A TWM concentration of 10.0 mg/L was calculated based on an average of the two replicates.
- Mortality: The definitive test met all of the test validity criteria. A summary of the test results expressed in terms of the percent fish mortality observed in the test after 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours is summarised in Table 2. As can be seen in Table 2, no (0%) trout mortality was observed in the 1000 mg/L test solutions, or the procedural and negative controls. Additionally, there was no evidence of abnormal behaviour. The LC50s, NOEC and LOEC could not be calculated statistically, since the testing was conducted at a single nominal concentration of 1000 mg/L, and rainbow trout mortality was not observed in either test or control treatments. Thus, the 96 hour NOEC and LOEC for rainbow trout mortality was reported as 1000 mg/L and > 1000 mg/L, respectively and the 24, 48, 72 and 96-hour LC50s were reported as > 1000 mg/L. - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- - Potassium chloride was the reference toxicant used in this study. The LC50 was compared to historical data and was deemed acceptable based on results falling within the 95% confidence interval (warning limit) calculated for the last twenty (20) reference tests.
- The 96-hour LC50 for the rainbow trout reference toxicant test associated with the definitive test was 3.277 g/L. - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- - Statistical analysis of the mortality data for determination of the test endpoints was not required, since the test was conducted at a single nominal concentration of 1000 mg/L and no mortality or abnormal behaviour was observed in either the test or control solutions.
- Analytical concentrations were verified to check for stability of the test material in water, however, due to the nature of the test material (UVCB; Chemical Substances of Unknown or Variable Composition, Complex Reaction Products and Biological Material), measured concentrations were not necessarily representative of the whole substance. Therefore, the results were expressed here in terms of nominal concentrations only. - Sublethal observations / clinical signs:

TEST VALIDITY CRITERIA
The range-finding and definitive tests met the test validity criteria:
- Mortality and impairment of the control fish ≤ 10%.
- Constant conditions were maintained throughout the test.
- Dissolved oxygen concentration were ≥ 60% of the air saturation value at the temperature of 15 ± 1°C throughout the test.
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of this study, based on visual examination of the results of the definitive test, the 24, 48, 72, and 96 hour LC50s and the LC0 were reported to be > 1000 mg/L, exceeding the OECD limit of 100 mg/L. The NOEC and LOEC were reported to be 1000 mg/L and > 1000 mg/L, respectively.
- Executive summary:
The acute toxicity of the test material to fish was determined in accordance with the standardised guideline OECD 203, under GLP conditions.
Based on discussions with the Sponsor, the definitive test was conducted as a Limit Test at a single nominal concentration of 1000 mg/L (i.e., exceeding the concentrations determined be toxic to algae). Further testing would only be required in the event that mortality of rainbow trout exposed to the limit test concentration was significantly different as compared to the controls.
Analytical concentrations were verified in this study, however, due to the nature of the test material (UVCB; Chemical Substances of Unknown or Variable Composition, Complex Reaction Products and Biological Material), measured concentrations were not necessarily representative of the whole substance. Therefore, the results are expressed here in terms of nominal concentrations only.
The definitive test, met all test validity criteria.
There was no mortality of rainbow trout exposed to the nominal concentration of 1000 mg/L. Additionally, there was no evidence of abnormal behaviour.
Under the conditions of this study, based on visual examination of the results of the definitive test, the 24, 48, 72, and 96 hour LC50s and the LC0 were reported to be > 1000 mg/L, exceeding the OECD limit of 100 mg/L. The NOEC and LOEC were reported to be 1000 mg/L and > 1000 mg/L, respectively.

Additional information
The acute toxicity of the test material to fish was determined in accordance with the standardised guideline OECD 203, under GLP conditions. The study was awarded a reliability score of 1 in accordance with the criteria set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997).
Based on discussions with the Sponsor, the definitive test was conducted as a Limit Test at a single nominal concentration of 1000 mg/L (i.e., exceeding the concentrations determined be toxic to algae). Further testing would only be required in the event that mortality of rainbow trout exposed to the limit test concentration was significantly different as compared to the controls.
Analytical concentrations were verified in this study, however, due to the nature of the test material (UVCB; Chemical Substances of Unknown or Variable Composition, Complex Reaction Products and Biological Material), measured concentrations were not necessarily representative of the whole substance. Therefore, the results are expressed here in terms of nominal concentrations only.
The definitive test, met all test validity criteria.
There was no mortality of rainbow trout exposed to the nominal concentration of 1000 mg/L. Additionally, there was no evidence of abnormal behaviour.
Under the conditions of this study, based on visual examination of the results of the definitive test, the 24, 48, 72, and 96 hour LC50s and the LC0 were reported to be > 1000 mg/L, exceeding the OECD limit of 100 mg/L. The NOEC and LOEC were reported to be 1000 mg/L and > 1000 mg/L, respectively.
