STABILITY AND STORAGE CONDITIONS OF TEST MATERIAL
- Storage condition of test material: Ambient (15ºC ± 10ºC), no protection from light
- Stability under test conditions: Assumed stable for the duration of the study
- Solubility and stability of the test substance in the solvent/vehicle: Stable in water (solubility in water 0.00538 g/litre at 20°C).

TREATMENT OF TEST MATERIAL PRIOR TO TESTING
- Treatment of test material prior to testing: Each test concentration was stirred for 23 hours and 8 minutes then allowed to settle for 4 hours and 15 minutes. After settling, the first Ca. 100ml of aqueous phase was removed (avoiding all settled and floating material) and discarded. The remaining aqueous phase provided sufficient volumes for water quality measurements and testing. The only practicable method to prepare the 0.1 and 1mg/L test concentrations was by dilution (by addition of 2.5 and 25ml of the
10mg/L preparation to 250ml of dilution water respectively).
FORM AS APPLIED IN THE TEST (if different from that of starting material) Test substance administered as a solution in water. All concentrations of the test substance are reported as nominal as received and are expressed as loading rates, following preparation of water accommodated fractions (WAF’s).
OTHER SPECIFICS:
- measurement of pH, osmolality, and precipitate in the culture medium to which the test chemical is added: Initial pH was tested at 0 Hours in the control (8.1±0.1). The pH range in control and test concentrations throughout testing were 8.05 - 8.80. Due to the spiking method used, it was only practical to take the water qualities on single
replicates at each concentrations at 0 hours and on pooled replicates at the end of the 72-hour test period.
No reference to osmolality or any precipitate within the report.
Sampling and analysis
- Analytical monitoring:
- yes
- Details on sampling:
- - Concentrations: 0 (control), 0 (solvent control), 50mg/L as a WAF. After consultation with the Sponsor, a 50mg/L limit test was conducted as a 100mg/L solvent stock
was unachievable due to the physical characteristics of the test material and solvent volume requirements as defined in OECD 201 as (must “not exceed 100μl/L”).
- Sampling method: All concentrations of the test substance are reported as nominal as received and are expressed as loading rates, following preparation of
water accommodated fractions (WAF’s).
- Analysis of test substance: Samples were taken at the start and end of the 72 hour exposure period. Samples were taken from a separate vessel prepared in the same way as the test vessels, but without algal inoculation at 0 hours. A “dummy” replicate was placed in the incubator at test conditions for the 72 hour exposure period. Analysis of these samples for the verification of exposure concentrations was performed using HPLC.
- Sample storage conditions before analysis: Samples tested as soon as possible after sampling.
Test solutions
- Details on test solutions:
- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
- Method: All concentrations of the test substance are reported as nominal as received and are expressed as loading rates, following preparation of water accommodated fractions (WAF’s).
- Controls: 0 (control, OECD test media), 0 (solvent control, OECD Test media /DCM)
- Chemical name of vehicle (organic solvent, emulsifier or dispersant):
- Concentration of vehicle in test medium (stock solution and final test solution(s) or suspension(s) including control(s)): 50mg/L limit test as a 100mg/L solvent stock was
unachievable due to the physical characteristics of the test material and solvent volume requirements as defined in OECD 201 as (must “not exceed 100μl/L”)
- Evidence of undissolved material (e.g. precipitate, surface film, etc.): When observed visually, the control, solvent control and 50mg/L conical flasks appeared clear and
colourless after 24 hours and green after 48 and 72 hours. Also, at 72 hours the 50mg/L conical flasks had visible white precipitate on the bottom of the vessels.

- Source/preparation of dilution water: The stocks of algal culture were maintained, and the tests performed, in nutrient growth medium (OECD 201) which was prepared by adding appropriate amounts of nutrient stocks according to OECD 201 to deionised water (sterilised by autoclaving at 120°C for 15 minutes) at a pH of
7.52.
- Intervals of water quality measurement: Due to the spiking method used, it was only practical to take the water qualities on single replicates at each concentrations at 0 hours and on pooled replicates at the end of the 72-hour test period
OTHER TEST CONDITIONS
- Sterile test conditions: yes
- Adjustment of pH: No
- Photoperiod: Light intensity (lux) within the incubator was recorded at the beginning of the study, after 24, 48 hours and at the end of the 72 hour test period.
- Light intensity and quality: Illumination: 6.04 – 8.25 kLux continuous white light. In the definitive test: states that the light intensity will be in the range of “6000 - 8000 lux” and “will not vary by more than ± 15%”. A minimum light value was recorded as 5900 Lux and a maximum value of 8210 Lux, 100 lux below and 210 lux
above the recommended range. The light values were also outside the ±15% variation range. This was considered to hvae had no impact on the study integrity or validity
EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED (with observation intervals if applicable) :
- Determination of cell concentrations: Cell counts were made using a haemocytometer and light microscope. Cell densities were measured microscopically by direct
cell counts on each test and control replicate, in sextuplicate at 24 hours for the control and solvent control and triplicate thereafter, and in triplicate at 24, 48 and 72
hours (±2h) for the test concentration.
TEST CONCENTRATIONS
- Spacing factor for test concentrations: Not applicable, only a single limit concentration of 50 mg/L used in the main test.
- Justification for using less concentrations than requested by guideline: A single 50mg/L limit test concentration was conducted as a 100mg/L solvent stock was
unachievable due to the physical characteristics of the test material and solvent volume requirements as defined in OECD 201.
- Range finding study: yes
- Test concentrations: A range finding test was conducted at concentrations of 0 (control), 0.1, 1.0, 10, 100mg/L. The duration of the preliminary study was 72 ± 2
hours. There was a single replicate at each concentration.
- Results used to determine the conditions for the definitive study: Data from the preliminary test identified the 72-hour EC as being between 1-10mg/L (by growth rate) and 1-10mg/L (by yield). In the definitive test concentrations between 0.625 to 50 mg/L did not give an EC50, therfore the main test was conducted as a limit test at 50 mg/L. All concentrations of the test substance are reported as nominal as received and are expressed as loading rates, following preparation of water accommodated fractions (WAF’s). The higher concentration of 100mg/L solvent stock was unachievable due to the physical characteristics of the test material and solvent volume
requirements as defined in OECD 201 as (must “not exceed 100μl/L”). - Reference substance (positive control):
- not required

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The 72 hour EC(r) and EC(y) of Tricylopentadiene (Distilled) to Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata were >50mg/L and >50mg/L (determined by Linear Interpolation) respectively.
The 0 to 72-hour NOEC(r) was 50mg/L (determined by direct observation) and the 0-72 hour LOEC was >50mg/L (determined by direct observation).
The results indicate that the measured concentrations remained within 80-120% of nominal (actual values 93.667 – 98.365%). Therefore effect concentrations are reported as nominal concentrations of Tricylopentadiene (Distilled) as received.
