Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- short-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 5 September 1995 - 13 October 1995
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study with acceptable restrictions
- Remarks:
- The analysis failed to provide evidence of exposure concentrations. However, the test solution was a turbid, white suspension which confirms the exposure to the test substance. Also, the sensitivity of the used batch of Daphnia magna showed to be low. However, based on the complete absence of immobility in the limit test, no different result of the test is expected when a different batch is used.

- yes
- Remarks:
- Potassium dichromate (August 1995)
- Key result
- Duration:
- 48 h
- Dose descriptor:
- EC50
- Basis for effect:
- mobility
- Remarks on result:
- other: The 48h-EC50 was above the solubility limit of the test substance in test medium.
- Details on results:
- - No behavioural, biological or other abnormalities have been observed.
- Effect concentrations exceeding solubility of substance in test medium: yes - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- - Results with reference substance valid? Yes
24h-EC50: 1.8 mg/L (estimated)
48h-EC50: 1.1 mg/L (estimated)
- The responses of the reference test are not within the ranges of the expected responses at the different concentrations. Mortality rate at 1.0 mg/L was below the historical response of 40%. Hence, the sensitivity of this batch of Daphnia magna can be considered as being low. - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- no
- Remarks:
- Due to low solubility of TS, actual concentrations were not shown to be maintained at more than 80% of the initial concentration.
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the present study, the 48h-EC50 of Alcamizer 5 was greater than the solubility limit of the test substance in test medium.
- Executive summary:
A study was performed to assess the effect of the test substance on the mobility of Daphnia magna after 48 hours. The study was conducted in accordance with OECD 202 and under GLP conditions.
A range-finding test was used to determine the range of concentrations for the final test. Daphnia were exposed for 48 hours to a supersaturated solution of 100 mg/L and a filtrate of a solution of 100 mg/L. No immobility was seen in either of the two solutions tested.
For the final study, an exposure concentration of 100 mg/L and two controls were used. One control contained test medium without test substance or other additives, a second control contained test medium without test substance but with Cremophor EL. 20 Daphnia magna (less than 24 hours old) were exposed to 100 mg/L solution and the controls for 48 hours in all-glass, open vessels. The incidence of immobilisation was recorded for each test and control group at 24 hours and at 48 hours.
Quantative analysis was performed on Al and Mg in samples taken from 0 and 100 mg/L and the Cremophor control to determine the test concentrations. Analysis showed that no levels of Al or Mg higher than those in the controls were found in the 100 mg/L solution. Measured test substance concentrations, based on Al were calculated to be < 1.52 mg/L in both controls and 100 mg/L solution. Water solubility was determined to be < 2.4 mg/L in an earlier study. The 100 mg/L solution was a turbid, white suspension which proved that the Daphnia were exposed to the test substance.
No effects were seen at a nominal concentration of 100 mg/L.
Based on the results with the reference substance, it was shown that the sensitivity of the system was low. However, based on the complete absence of immobility in the limit test, no different result of the test is expected when another batch of Daphnia would be used.
Under the conditions of the present study, the 48h-EC50 of Alcamizer 5 was greater than the solubility limit of the test substance in test medium.
