Sampling and analysis
- Analytical monitoring:
- yes
- Details on sampling:
- Water samples were taken from the solvent stock solution at 0 hours, solvent control (replicates R1 - R4 pooled) and all the test groups (replicates R1 - R2 and R3 - R4 pooled) at 0 and 48 hours for quantitative analysis. However, the 48 hour samples were not analysed as the test item could not be analyzed at 0 hours since it was below the limit of detection. Duplicate samples were taken and stored at approximately -20°C for further analysis if necessary.
Test solutions
- Vehicle:
- yes
- Remarks:
- dimethylformamide
- Details on test solutions:
- No definitive experimental determination of the water solubility was possible due to the surface active properties of the test material. However, testing indicated that the water solubility of the major component of the test material was less than or equal to 2.2E-04 g/L. Preliminary solubility work showed that the highest attainable test concentration (by visual inspection) that could be prepared was 0.20 mg/1 by spiking reconstituted water with an aliquot (100 ul/l) of a solvent stock solution prepared in dimethylformamide. At higher test concentrations precipitation of the test material was observed on addition of the test material solvent stock solution to water.Based on this information the test material fell into the category of a 'difficult substance' as defined by the OECD Guidance Document on Aquatic Toxicity Testing of Difficult Substances and Mixtures (OECD 2000). Therefore a media preparation trial was conducted in order to determine the solubility of the test material under test conditions and whether prolonged stirring of the preparations increased the dissolved test material concentration. An amount of test material (100 mg) was dissolved in dimethyformamide and the volume adjusted to 50 ml to give a 100 mg/50 ml solvent stock solution. An aliquot (500 ul) of this solvent stock solution was dispersed in 5 litres of culture medium with the aid of magnetic stirring for approximately 10 minutes to give the required test concentration of 0.20 mg/L.The range finding test used nominal concentrations of 0.020 and 0.02 mg/L test substance with a solvent control of 100 ul/L of dimethylformamide. The test material was suspected to adhere to glassware. Therefore, in order to saturate any active sites, the test vessels were pre-conditioned with the test concentration to be used in the test, approximately 24 hours prior to the test start.Based on the results of the range finding test, the definative test was a "limit" test at 0.20 mg/L. An amount of test material (100 mg) was dissolved in dimethyformamide with the aid of ultrasonication for approximately 2 minutes and the volume adjusted to 50 ml to give a 100 mg / 50 ml solvent stock solution. An aliquot (200 ul) of the 100 mg / 50 ml solvent stock solution was dispersed in a final volume of 2 litres of reconstituted water to give the 0.20 mg/L test concentration.The control and solvent control groups were maintained under identical conditions but not exposed to the test material. The solvent control group was exposed to 100 ul/L of dimethyformamide.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The acute toxicity of the test material to the freshwater invertebrate Daphnia magna has been investigated and gave a 48-Hour EC50 > 0.20 mg/L (the highest attainable nominal concentration). Correspondingly the No Observed Effect Concentration was 0.20 mg/L.
- Executive summary:
A 48-hour static toxicity test with Daphnia magna was performed in a test designed to meet the requirements OECD Test Guideline 202. Preliminary investigation showed that maximum limit of water solubility for the test item under the test conditions was 0.2 mg/L (nominal). A range-finding test was first conducted at nominal concentrations of 0.02 and 0.2 mg/L. As no immobilization was observed in the range-finding test, the definitive test was conducted as a limit test at a nominal concentration of 0.2 mg/L (highest attainable concentration).
In the definitive test, 20 daphnids (4 replicates of 5 daphnids) were exposed to a single nominal loading rate of 0.2 mg/L as a limit test, while a second group of 20 daphnids (also 4 replicates of 5) was exposed to dilution test water only (control group) and a third group of 20 daphnids (also 4 replicates of 5) were exposed to 100 uL/L of the dimthylformamide solvent. No test item was added to either of the control groups.
The test solutions remained unchanged for the duration of the test. Immobilization in the range finding and the definitive test was recorded at 0, 24 and 48 hours.
No immobilization was observed in any of the test or control groups during the range finding test or definitive test. The 48-h EC50 derived from the limit test was > 0.2 mg/l (nominal) and the NOEC was 0.2 mg/l (nominal), the highest attainable concentration in this test. As no immobilization was observed in any of the groups and the dissolved oxygen concentration was > 3 mg/L, the validity criteria were satisfied.
