Sampling and analysis
- Details on sampling:
- After 24, 48 and 72 h , a sample of 5 ml wa taken.
Test solutions
- Details on test solutions:
- The stock solutions, for the preliminary and definitive tests, were prepared by dispersing the test item directly in LC reconstitued water.
The test method was adapted to volatile substances since a significant loss of Bromure de n-amayle from the test solutions by volatilization was possible during preparation of these solutions and during the tests. Test vessels were sealed and 0.3 g/l of NaFCO3 and 6 mM of HEPES buffer were added to LC reconstitued water (to prevent limitation of growth coming from CO2depletion and important increasing pH).
Preliminary test
A loaing rate of 100 mg/l was used to prepare the stock solution. The stock solution was agitated for 23 hours in a closed flask (headspace kept at the minimum) and filtered through a filter of porosity 0.45 µm to remove the suspended fraction. The filtered solution, considered as the limit of solubility of the test item under our experimental conditions 5LS), was then used to prepare the test solutions.
-Limit test
Three replicate solutions of algae with an initial dilution of 10E4 cells/ml were exposed to the LS solution (the limit test solution) and a further group of six replicate algal solutions without test item was used as the control. The growth of the cell culture in each flask was monitored by counting the number of cells at 24, 48 and 72 hours.
- Range-finding test
Three groups of two replicate flask were xposed to dilutions of the limit test solution at LS/1000, LS/100 and LS/10 under the same conditions of light and temperature.
Definitive test
A loaing rate of 500 mg/l was used to prepare the stock solution. The stock solution was agitated for 23 hours in a closed flask (headspace kept at the minimum) and filtered through a filter of porosity 0.45 µm to remove the suspended fraction. The filtered solution, considered as the limit of solubility of the test item under our experimental conditions 5LS), was then used to prepare the test solutions.
Six concentrations of Bromure de n-amyle were used together with a control at: 0 mg/l, LS/32, LS/16, LS/8, LS/4, LS/2 and LS.
Three replicates were exposed to each concentration and six replicates to dilution water only (to act as the control) for 72 hours. Observations of cell growth were recorded at 24, 48 and 72 hours.

- Conc. based on:

- Basis for effect:

- Remarks on result:
- other: not determined
- Details on results:
- The ErC50 72-hour was estimated by extrapolation since the inhibition percentage of the growth rate at the highest concentration (41.1 mg/l) was slightly lower than 50% at 72 hours (45%).
- Results with reference substance (positive control):
- The validity criteria of the study were respected: the increase in cell density (R), measured in the control solution between the end and the beginning of the test, was greater than a factor of 16 (R = 105) ; the final concentrations of ethyl bromide were maintained within the designated limit of 80% of the initial concentrations in non-inoculated flasks.
- Reported statistics and error estimates:
- After checking of the normality of the data Chi-square and Shapiro-Wilks test (normal at p = 0.01) as well as the variance homogeneity (Bartlett test), the NOEC is determined by ANOVA (the Bonferroni T-test) using the individual replicates of the area under the curve and the specific growth rate.
Any other information on results incl. tables
The test solution was a clear and colorless solution at all test item concentrations.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the test, toxicity to aquatic algae of the test material was determined to be 10 < ErC50 < 100 mg/l.
It has been to classify as Dangerous for environment Tox 2 - Executive summary:
Under the experimental conditions, the 72-hour ErC50 and the 72-hour EbC50 of Bromure de n-amyle in a static test system were estimated as 55.5 and 8.85 mg/l (based on initial measured concentrations in test solutions), respectively, for Pseudokirchnerella subcapitata.
The NOEC at 72 hours was 1.76 mg/l based on the specific growth rate and biomass data.
It has been to be classify as Dangerous for environment Tox 3 according to Regulation 1272/2008.
