- Sampling method and Sample storage conditions before analysis: At the start of the exposure and at renewal (0 and 24 h), the fresh media samples were taken after preparation of the test item loadings, diluted with methanol (dilution factor 2) and analyzed. At the renewal and at the end of the exposure (24 and 48 h), samples of the 24-h old media were taken directly from the test vessels, diluted with methanol (dilution factor 2) and analyzed.
Test solutions
- Vehicle:
- no
- Details on test solutions:
- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
- Method: A stock solution (200 mg/L of the test item was weighed out) was freshly prepared with dilution water prior to the start of the exposure (day 0) and prior to the renewal of the test solutions (day 1). An appropriate amount of the test item was transferred with an appropriate amount of the dilution water into a glass flask. The stock solution was treated with ultrasound for 5 min at room temperature and mixed by constant stirring with a magnetic stirrer at approximately 1100 rpm for 1 h at room temperature.
- Controls: Dilution water without test item incubated under the same conditions as the test groups
- Evidence of undissolved material (e.g. precipitate, surface film, etc.): At the highest loading level of 200 mg/L, a fine sediment was observed after 24 h and the color of the test solution changed from yellow to a yellowish to brownish color.
Test organisms
- Test organisms (species):
- Daphnia magna
- Details on test organisms:
- TEST ORGANISM
- Common name: Water flea
- Strain/clone: Daphnia magna STRAUS
- Source: from continuous laboratory cultures; Origin: Institut für Wasser-, Boden- und Lufthygiene (WaBoLu), 14195 Berlin, Germany
- Age of parental stock (mean and range, SD): Less than 24 h old daphnids from a healthy stock were used for the study. Juvenile daphnids were removed from the culture vessels at the latest 24 h before the start of the exposure and discarded. The juveniles born within the following period of max. 24 h preceding the exposure were used for the test. No first brood progeny was used for the test.
- Feeding during test: No
ACCLIMATION
- Acclimation period: Acclimatization of the daphnids was not necessary, because the composition of the dilution water was equivalent to the culture medium.
- Type and amount of food, frequency: The daphnids are fed at least 5 times per week ad libitum with a mix of unicellular green algae, e.g. Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata and Desmodesmus subspicatus. The algae are cultured at the test facility.

TEST MEDIUM / WATER PARAMETERS
- Source/preparation of dilution water: Same composition as the culture medium
- Culture medium different from test medium: no
- Intervals of water quality measurement: Prior to the start of the exposure (0 h) and at the renewal of the test solutions (24 h), the water quality parameters (i.e. pH-value, dissolved oxygen concentration, temperature, conductivity and total hardness) of the dilution water were measured. At the start of the exposure and at the renewal (0 and 24 h), the water quality parameters of the fresh media (i.e. pH-value, dissolved oxygen concentration) were measured in one additional replicate (without daphnids) per loading level and control. At the renewal and at the end of the exposure (24 and 48 h), the water quality parameters of the old media were measured in one appropriate replicate (containing daphnids) per loading level and control. The replicate with the highest immobilization rate per loading level and control was measured.
OTHER TEST CONDITIONS
- Adjustment of pH: no

- - Results with reference substance valid?
Yes, validity criteria: EC50 (24 h): 0.6 - 2.4 mg/L, according to AQS P 9/2 (clone 5), EC50 (24 h): 0.6 - 2.1 mg/L, according to OECD 202 (clone A
Measured value: 2.03 mg/L (CI:1.00 - 4.00 mg/L) - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- The EC/EL10- and EC/EL50-values (after 24 h of exposure) were calculated by straight line regression with the software GraphPad Prism. Only the two highest concentration/loading levels were taken into account, representing the EC/EL0- and the EC/EL100-level, since only one partial effect occurred. The respective 95% confidence limits were empirically derived from the observation data as follows: The highest concentration/loading level without any effect (EC/EL0) and the lowest concentration/loading level causing 100% immobilization (EC/EL100) were used as 95% confidence limits. The EL-values were calculated accordingly. The EC/EL10- and EC/EL50-values (after 48 h) were calculated by sigmoidal dose-response regression with the software GraphPad Prism. The respective 95% confidence limits were calculated from the standard error and the t-distribution.
An EC50 value was calculated for the reference item by sigmoidal dose-response regression from the best-fit values with the software GraphPad Prism. The respective 95% confidence limits were empirically derived from the observation data as follows: The highest concentration level without any effect (EC0) and the lowest concentration level causing 100% immobilization (EC100) were used as 95% confidence limits.
