Dose descriptor:
EC50
Effect conc.:
>= 3.2 - <= 5.6 mg/L
Nominal / measured:
nominal
Conc. based on:
test mat.
Remarks:
loading rate WAF
Basis for effect:
mobility
Details on results:
- No biologically relevant immobility (i.e. >10%) was observed in the control and at the three lowest test concentrations throughout the test.
- At the end of the test, 85 and 100% immobility was observed at the WAFs prepared at loading rates of 5.6 and 10 mg/L, respectively.
- It should be noted that 10 % immobility is allowed in the control and therefore, effects ≤ 10 % are considered to be biologically not relevant.

1 = Estimated value, calculated by extrapolation of the calibration curve.

2 = Not detected. The limit of detection of the method was determined to be 0.0912 µg/L taking a dilution factor of 2 into account.

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
The 48-hour EC50 value is expressed in terms of loading rate and is considered to lie between 3.2 and 5.6 mg/L loading rate WAF. 
Executive summary:

GUIDELINE

A study was performed to assess the acute toxicity of the test item toDaphnia magna.The method followed was designed to be compatible with the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals (April 2004) No 202,"Daphniasp., Acute Immobilisation Test" referenced as Method C.2 of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008.

 

METHODS

For the final test, Water Accommodated Fractions (WAFs) were individually prepared at loading rates of 1.0, 1.8, 3.2, 5.6 and 10 mg/L. One hour of gentle magnetic stirring was applied to accelerate dissolution of test item in test medium. The obtained mixtures were allowed to settle for a period of approximately two hours. Thereafter, the WAFs were collected by means of siphoning over glass wool and used as test concentrations. At the end of the preparation procedure, all test solutions were clear and colourless.

RESULTS

No biologically relevant immobility (i.e. >10%) was observed in the control and at the three lowest test concentrations throughout the test. At the end of the test, 85 and 100% immobility was observed at the WAFs prepared at loading rates of 5.6 and 10 mg/L, respectively. It should be noted that 10 % immobility is allowed in the control and therefore, effects ≤ 10 % are considered to be biologically not relevant.

CONCLUSION

The 48-hour EC50 value is expressed in terms of loading rate and is considered to lie between 3.2 and 5.6 mg/L loading rate WAF.
