- Details on test solutions:
- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION
- Method: Preparation of test solutions started with loading rates individually prepared at 0.46, 1.0, 2.2, 4.6 and 10 mg/L. A 3-day period of magnetic stirring was applied to ensure homogenisation and maximum dissolution of the test item in medium. The obtained mixtures were allowed to settle for a period of one hour. Thereafter, the aqueous Water Accommodated Fractions (WAFs) were collected by means of siphoning and used as test concentrations. The entire preparation of the WAFs occurred in completely closed vessels with very limited headspace.
- Controls: Test medium without test item or other additives.
- All test solutions were clear and colourless at the end of the preparation procedure. - Test organisms (species):

- Duration:
- 48 h
- Dose descriptor:

- Effect conc.:
- 0.43 mg/L
- Nominal / measured:
- meas. (arithm. mean)
- Conc. based on:
- test mat.
- Basis for effect:
- mobility
- Remarks on result:
- other: 95% confidence interval 0.31-0.60 mg/L
- Details on results:
- - Behavioural abnormalities: A number of Daphnia were observed trapped at the surface of the test solutions (see Table 2 in 'Any other information on results incl. tables'. These organisms were reimmersed into the respective solutions before recording of mobility.
- Immobility of control: 5% immobility at 24 and 48 h.
- The analytical results obtained in the final test did not show a relationship between the increasing loading rates and the measured concentrations at the start of the test. This was, however, not observed for the freshly prepared solutions at 24 hours of exposure. The reason for the discrepancy is unclear, since preparation of the WAFs was identical. The consequence is the apparent lack of a dose-response relationship after the first 24 hours of exposure when the observed effects are related to the average exposure concentrations. However, when immobility is related to the actual exposure concentrations, a clear dose-response is seen, since 0, 20, 5, 40 and 95% immobility was observed at initially measured concentrations of 0.045, 0.085, 0.71, 1.2 and 2.6 mg/L, respectively.
Additionally, 40% immobility was recorded at an average exposure concentration of 0.035 mg/L at the end of the final test. This was not in line with what was observed at higher exposure concentrations, since no immobility was observed at average exposure concentrations of 0.09 mg/L in the combined limit/range-finding test and at an average exposure concentration of 0.1 mg/L in the final test. Consequently, it was decided to exclude the lowest test concentration from calculation of the effects parameters. - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- - Results with reference substance valid? Yes. The actual responses in this reference test with K2Cr2O7 are within the ranges of the expected responses at the different concentrations, i.e. the 48h-EC50 was between 0.3 and 1.0 mg/L. Hence, the sensitivity of this batch of D. magna was in agreement with the historical data collected at the Test Facility.
- Relevant effect levels:
* The 24h-EC50 was 0.95 mg/L with a 95% confidence interval between 0.85 and 1.1 mg/L.
* The 48h-EC50 was 0.59 mg/L with a 95% confidence interval between 0.52 and 0.66 mg/L. - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- The 24 and 48h-EC50-values were calculated using the Spearman-Karber method (without trim) on the percentages of affected daphnids and the logarithms of the corresponding test item concentrations. The responses recorded at the lowest test concentration were excluded from the calculation.
ToxRat Professional v 3.2.1 (ToxRat Solutions® GmbH, Germany) was used to perform the analyses. - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Remarks:
- For details on validity criteria, please refer to section 'Overall remarks'
- Conclusions:
- The 48h-EC50 for Daphnia magna exposed to 3-CYCLOHEXENE-1-CARBOXALDEHYDE MULTICONSTITUENT was 0.43 mg/L (95% confidence interval between 0.31 and 0.60 mg/L).
- Executive summary:
The acute toxicity to aquatic invertebrates was examined in a study according to OECD TG 202 and in compliance with GLP criteria. In this study, groups of Daphnia magna (4 replicates of 5) were exposed to WAFs individually prepared at loading rates of o (control), 0.46, 1.0, 2.2, 4.6 and 10 mg/L for 48 hours under semi-static conditions. Nominal target concentrations were analytically verified at the start and the end of each renewal period and average test substance concentrations calculated as mathematical means of the concentrations at the start and the end of each renewal period. Average exposure concentrations were determined to be 0.035, 0.10, 0.70, 2.5 and 3.9 mg/L, and effect concentrations expressed as such. Immobility of daphnids was recorded after 24 and 48 hours exposure. The test is valid. After 48 hours exposure, daphnia immobility in the control was 5%. In the increasing test concentrations, immobility was reported to be 40, 0, 70, 100, and 100%. The 40% immobility recorded at an average exposure concentration of 0.035 mg/L was not in line with what was observed at higher exposure concentrations, since no immobility was observed at average exposure concentrations of 0.09 mg/L in the combined limit/range-finding test and at an average exposure concentration of 0.1 mg/L in the final test. Consequently, it was decided to exclude the lowest test concentration from calculation of the effects parameters. Based on these findings, the 48-h EC50 value was determined to be 0.43 mg/L (95% C.I. 0.31-0.60 mg/L).
