- Conclusions:
- Chronic zinc toxicity (expressed as 50 % effective concentrations [EC50]) varied up to 5-fold for the D. magna (21 d EC50 from 112 to 536 µg Zn/L). The determined NOEC range is 0.0626 - 0.491 mg Zn/L.
This result is also relevant for the target substance, which contains 7.5 % zinc ions. Accounting to the Zn content of 7.5 %, this corresponds to a 21 d EC50 ranging from 1.49 to 7.15 mg/L, the NOEC (21 d) ranging from 0.83 - 6.55 mg/L. - Executive summary:

- Conclusions:
- The chronic test results indicate that organisms acclimated to 50 and 100 µg Zn/L performed better (survival and reproduction). The EC50 (9 d) values refering survival were 354 µg/L for organisms acclimated to 3 µg Zn/L, 387 µg/L for organisms acclimated to 13 µg Zn/L and 449 and 489 µg/L for organisms acclimated to 50 and 100 µg Zn/L, respectively.
This result is also relevant for the target substance, which contains 7.5 % zinc ions. - Executive summary:
In this study, the cladoceran Ceriodaphnia dubia was acclimated for 10 generations to four zinc concentrations ranging from 0 to 100 µg Zn/L and changes in zinc tolerance were monitored using chronic (9 days) assays. The chronic test results indicate that organisms acclimated to 50 and 100 µg Zn/L performed better (survival and reproduction). The EC50 (9 d) values refering survival were 354 µg/L for organisms acclimated to 3 µg Zn/L, 387 µg/L for organisms acclimated to 13 µg Zn/L and 449 and 489 µg/L for organisms acclimated to 50 and 100 µg Zn/L, respectively. The reproduction and survival of organisms acclimated to 3 and 13 µg Zn/L was significantly lower than those acclimated to higher zinc concentrations. It can be concluded that culturing test animals in media lacking trace metals such as zinc could give rise to animals that are unnaturally sensitive to those same metals during toxicity tests.
This result is also relevant for the target substance, which contains 7.5 % zinc ions. Accounting to the Zn content of 7.5 %, this corresponds to an EC50 (9 d) values refering survival of 4.72 mg/L for C. dubia acclimated to 3 µg Zn/L, 5.16 mg/L for C. dubia acclimimated to 13 µg Zn/L and 5.99 and 6.52 mg/L for C. dubia acclimated to 50 and 100 µg Zn/L, respectively.

- Details on results:
- - Mortality of parent animals: No mortality or other visible effects were recorded for the parental organisms at any of the test item concentrations tested.
- During the exposure period of 21 days, the mean values for living offspring recorded at test item concentrations up to and including 320 mg/L were within same range as those found in the control group. After the first brood, the parental Daphnia exposed to 1000 mg/L frequently released non-hatched eggs instead of living young. Hence, the reproductive capacity of these organisms was substantially lower than those found in the other groups after 21 days of exposure. - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- Not applicable.
- Reported statistics and error estimates:
- Statistical analysis of the data for reproduction at the end of the 21-day exposure period showed that significant reduction of the reproductive capacity of Daphnia magna occurred at 320 and 1000 mg/L (Bonferroni t-test, P = 0.05). Comparison of the reproduction values between the different groups showed that the mean value recorded at 1000 mg/L was significantly lower than those of all other groups (Tukey test, P = 0.05). Only the effect recorded at 1000 mg/L should be considered as a biologically significant effect.
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Remarks:
- Validity criteria of Guideline were fulfilled.
- Conclusions:
- In this valid guideline reproduction study with GLP compliance, the test substance no effect on the survival of Daphnia magna at concentrations up to and including 1000 mg/L. A biologically relevant effect on reproductive capacity of Daphnia magna was noted at 1000 mg/L. The same result is expected for the organic constituents of target substance since it has the same composition as the source substance.
- Executive summary:
The effects of the Fe(Na)EDDHMA on survival and reproductive Performance in Daphnia magna during 21 days of exposure were investigated in an OECD Guideline No. 211 "Daphnia magna Reproduction Test".
The nominal concentrations tested were 10, 32, 100, 320 and 1000 mg/L. The test solutions were renewed three times a week. 10 neonate daphnids for the test concentrations and 20 animals for the control group were investigated. At the start of the test and every workday, the condition of the parental daphnids was recorded and during the reproduction phase the number of living offspring, immobile young and the presence of unhatched eggs were recorded. During the study duplicate samples of 10 mL were taken from freshly prepared solutions on days 0, 7, 14 and 19, from 72-hour old solutions on day 3 and from 48-hour old solutions on day 21. Samples were stored in a deep-freeze until possible analysis.
Analysis of the samples showed that the method of preparation of test media provided repeatable recoveries of test substance concentration. Measured concentrations were all in agreement with nominal, except for those measured in the samples taken at 1000 mg/L (85 % - 89 %) during the 2 -day period after the last renewal. Further, the measured concentrations were stable during the periods between renewals of the test solutions.
No mortality or other visible effects were recorded for the parental organisms at any of the test item concentrations tested. During the total exposure period of 21 days, no significant (greater than 10%) immobilisation (including mortality) of newborn young was observed at any of the test concentrations.
In conclusion, the test substance had no effect on the survival of Daphnia magna at concentrations up to and including 1000 mg/L in this reproduction study. The test item affected the reproductive capacity of Daphnia magna at concentrations of 320 and 1000 mg/L. A biologically relevant effect on reproductive capacity of Daphnia magna was noted at 1000 mg/L.

Chronic zinc toxicity to Daphnia magna (expressed as 50 % effective concentrations [EC50]) varied up to 5-fold (21-d EC50 from 112 to 536 mg Zn/L). The determined NOEC range is 0.0626 - 0.491 mg Zn/L.
This result is also relevant for the target substance, which contains 7.5 % zinc ions. Accounting to the Zn content of 7.5 %, this corresponds to a 21 d EC50 ranging from 1.49 to 7.15 mg/L, the NOEC (21 d) ranging from 0.83 - 6.55 mg/L.
