Sampling and analysis
- Details on sampling:
- Concentrations of myraldyl acetate in Elendt M4 medium were determined by gas chromatography with flame ionisation detection (GC-FID), following extraction from the media with hexane.
At the start of the test (0 hours) and at media renewal at 24 hours, 40 mL samples of freshly prepared test media were taken from the control and each test media preparation flask for chemical analysis.
At 24 and 48 hours, 40 mL samples were also taken for chemical analysis from the pooled expired test media at each test concentration including the control.
In each case duplicate samples were taken, one for chemical analysis and one as a ‘back-up’ should further analysis be required.

- Preliminary Solubility Trial
The test substance was known to have limited solubility in water (2.50 mg/L at 20 ºC). Initial visual solubility work was conducted which indicated that the highest attainable concentration was 1.0 mg/L using an initial solvent spike method of preparation.
A media preparation trial indicated that the most appropriate method of preparation for the test substance was the use of a saturated solution method of preparation. Analysis of a saturated solution prepared from an initial 100 mg/L loading rate followed by filtration gave a measured concentration of 1.07 to 1.31 mg/L indicating this to be the limit of solubility of the test substance in Elendt M4 media.
The test substance was therefore prepared from an initial 100 mg/L, stirred for ca 24 hours and filtered to give a nominal test concentration of 100% saturated solution.
Test Procedures
Range-finding Test
The range-finding test was conducted at nominal test substance concentrations of 0.10, 1.0, 10 and 100% saturated solution under semi-static test conditions. Due to the possible volatile nature of the test substance, the test vessels were completely filled and sealed. A control group was also included. Duplicate test vessels were prepared for the control and each test concentration. Based on nominal concentrations, the results of the range-finding test suggested that the 48-hour EC50 value would be less than 100% saturated solution.
Definitive Test
Based on the results of the range-finding test, for which the key results only have been reported, the definitive test was conducted at nominal test concentrations of 1.0, 3.2, 10, 32 and 100% saturated solution.
The test was conducted using semi-static test conditions with renewal of test media after 24 hours.
The test vessels (nominal volume 60 mL) were glass jars. Due to the possible volatile nature of the test substance, the test vessels were completely filled and sealed. Four replicate test vessels were prepared for the control and each test concentration.
At the start of the test, the 100% saturated solution test concentration was prepared by weighing ca 100 mg of test substance and adding to 1000 mL of Elendt M4 medium. This was stirred slowly for ca 24 hours. Following the stirring period, the preparation was allowed to settle for ca 1 hour. The test media was siphoned from the mid-section of the flask and then filtered through a 0.45 μm filter to give the 100% saturated solution test concentration. Dilutions were then prepared from the 100% saturated solution, in Elendt M4 medium, to give the remainder of the nominal test concentrations of 1.0, 3.2, 10 and 32% saturated solution. A control treatment was prepared by adding Elendt M4 medium only to the control vessels.
Five juvenile Daphnia magna, less than 24 hours old, were added to each test vessel, using a wide bore glass pipette to avoid damaging the animals during transfer. The Daphnia magna were not fed during the test. After 24 and 48 hours, the Daphnia magna in each test vessel were observed for
evidence of immobility. The observations differentiated between mobile and immobile daphnids. An individual was considered immobile if, when the contents of the test vessel were briefly agitated, it did not swim during a 15-second period of observation. In addition, Daphnia magna submerged in the body of the test media and those that were held at the surface of the test media were also recorded.
Water Quality and Environmental Conditions
The test was conducted with a 16-hour light: 8-hour dark photoperiod.
The pH, dissolved oxygen concentration (% air saturation value (ASV) and mg/L) and temperatures were determined in freshly prepared test media at the start of the test and at media renewal at 24 hours and in the old media at 24 and 48 hours. Continuous temperatures were measured using a digital (min/max) thermometer in an additional vessel maintained in the study area.
At the end of each exposure period the test water quality measurements were conducted using pooled replicate samples of old test media.

- Basis for effect:

- Details on results:
- After 48 hours, the concentration at which no significant (≤10%) dose related immobility occurred was 0.16 mg/L. The NOEC was considered to be 0.16 mg/L. After 48 hours 100% immobility was recorded at the highest test concentration of 2.2 mg/L.
In terms of time-weighted mean measured concentrations the 48-hour EC50 value was determined to be 1.01 mg/L.
The validity criteria for control immobility (≤10%) and dissolved oxygen (≥3 mg/L) were both satisfied. The test is therefore considered valid.

- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The 48-hour acute toxicity of myraldyl acetate to the freshwater planktonic crustacean, Daphnia magna, was determined in accordance with the requirements of OECD Chemicals Testing Guideline No. 202 Daphnia sp. Acute Immobilisation Test (adopted April 13 2004).
The validity criteria for control immobility (≤10%) and dissolved oxygen (≥3 mg/L) were both satisfied. The test is therefore considered valid.
Based on time-weighted mean measured concentrations, the 48-hour EC50 value was determined to be 1.01 mg/L. The corresponding No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC) was considered to be 0.16 mg/L.
