Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
No toxic effects against Daphnia were observed at a limit test concentration
of 100 mg/L under exposure conditions
Executive summary:

A study was performed to assess the acute toxicity of Additin E 459 to Daphnia magna STRAUS under static conditions.

The study was conducted in accordance with the Council Regulation (EC) No 440/2008, Method C.2 ‘Acute toxicity for Daphnia’ (2008) which is equivalent to OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals No. 202 'Daphnia sp., Acute Immobilisation Test' (adopted April 13, 2004).

The Daphnia were exposed to a limit test concentration of nominally 100 mg/L of Additin E 459 dissolved in dilution water. Auxiliaries used to prepare the test media were an ultra turrax and a magnetic stirrer.

Observations were made on the swimming ability and the immobilisation rate, respectively, after 24 and 48 hours of exposure. The following values were determined:

Time EC 50 [h] [mg/L]

24 > 100

48 > 100

No toxic effects against Daphnia were observed at a limit test concentration

of 100 mg/L under exposure conditions.

The results are expressed in terms of nominal concentrations at 24 h and at 48 h.

Effective concentrations correspond to 102.9 % of nominal values at 0 hours and

to 93.0 % of nominal values at 48 hours.

The hardness of the dilution water used was 15.7 °dH (= 280 mg/L CaCO3).
