EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED: 24 and 48 hours after the daphnids had been placed into the respective test vessels, they were visually examined for their ability to swim. Those daphnids that did not make any swimming movements within 15 seconds after the test vessel had been gently agitated, were regarded as immobilized.

- Executive summary:
The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of the test item on the immobilization of Daphnia magna.
This study was performed according to GLP and the methods applied are fully compliant with OECD 202. For this purpose, juvenile daphnids were exposed to a nominal test item concentration of 100 mg/L (limit test) over 48 hours, in an open static system. The daphnids were observed for immobilization 24 and 48 hours after placing in the aqueous test item solution. The study comprised of one test item group with four test vessels containing five daphnids each, i.e. 20 daphnids in total. Additionally, one control group (20 daphnids) was used.
The analytically determined test item concentration immediately after preparation of the medium was 126.0 µg/L and 48 hours thereafter 21.9 µg/L.
Nominal and corresponding analytical concentrations and the geometric mean are given in the following table:Nominal Concentrations
[mg/L]Analytical Concentrations / [µg/L] 0 hours 24 hours 48 hours geometric mean 0.0 0.116 0.990 0.223 0.399 100.0 126.0 35.9 21.9 43.5
During the experimental phase of the study, the test item concentration could not be maintained within ± 20 % of the initial analytical concentration. Therefore, the EC values were calculated with the geometric mean exposure concentration.
The daphnids were not affected after exposure to an aqueous preparation of a nominal concentration of 100 mg/L of the test material.
The following EC50 and NOEC values for daphnids were determined:
24h EC50 > 43.5 µg/L (nominal 100 mg/L)
48h EC50 > 43.5 µg/L (nominal 100 mg/L)
NOEC (24h) > 43.5 µg/L (nominal 100 mg/L)
NOEC (48h) > 43.5 µg/L (nominal 100 mg/L)The test material, solved in reconstituted water, was tested in an open static test system. Under the conditions of the present study, an aqueous solution of nominal 100 mg/L of test material revealed no aquatic toxicity in the test system.
The 48h EC50 was > 43.5 µg/L (nominal 100 mg/L) and, thus, could not be determined in this study.
Reference
Description of key information
No adverse effects on daphnids were observed up to the water solubility of the test item. Thus, an aqueous solution of nominal 100 mg/L of the test item revealed no toxicity to daphnids. The 48h EC50 was > 43.5 µg/L (nominal 100 mg/L) and, thus, could not be determined in this study. The 48 hours NOEC to Daphnia magna was > 100 mg/L (nominal concentration), or > 43.5 µg/L (analytical concentration).

Additional information
The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of the test item on the immobilization of Daphnia magna.
This study was performed according to GLP and the methods applied are fully compliant with OECD 202. For this purpose, juvenile daphnids were exposed to a nominal test item concentration of 100 mg/L (limit test) over 48 hours, in an open static system. The daphnids were observed for immobilization 24 and 48 hours after placing in the aqueous test item solution. The study comprised of one test item group with four test vessels containing five daphnids each, i.e. 20 daphnids in total. Additionally, one control group (20 daphnids) was used.
The analytically determined test item concentration immediately after preparation of the medium was 126.0 µg/L and 48 hours thereafter 21.9 µg/L.
Nominal and corresponding analytical concentrations and the geometric mean are given in the following table:
Nominal Concentrations | Analytical Concentrations / [µg/L] | |||
0 hours | 24 hours | 48 hours | geometric mean | |
0.0 | 0.116 | 0.990 | 0.223 | 0.399 |
100.0 | 126.0 | 35.9 | 21.9 | 43.5 |
During the experimental phase of the study, the test item concentration could not be maintained within ± 20 % of the initial analytical concentration. Therefore, the EC values were calculated with the geometric mean exposure concentration.
The daphnids were not affected after exposure to an aqueous preparation of a nominal concentration of 100 mg/L of the test material.
The following EC50 and NOEC values for daphnids were determined:
24h EC50 > 43.5 µg/L (nominal 100 mg/L)
48h EC50 > 43.5 µg/L (nominal 100 mg/L)
NOEC (24h) > 43.5 µg/L (nominal 100 mg/L)
NOEC (48h) > 43.5 µg/L (nominal 100 mg/L)
The test material, solved in reconstituted water, was tested in an open static test system. Under the conditions of the present study, an aqueous solution of nominal 100 mg/L of test material revealed no aquatic toxicity in the test system.
The 48h EC50 was > 43.5 µg/L (nominal 100 mg/L) and, thus, could not be determined in this study.
