- 1 Experiment:
The daphnia were immobilized caused by an oily film on the surface. During the shaking period for the preparation of the WAF, an emulsion was produced. This emulsion couldn’t be separated by membrane filtration and during the test, the undissolved part of the test item rose to the surface. The effect on the daphnia can be stated as a physical effect. Therefore the experiment was repeated, but the test solution was prepared by stirring instead of shaking.
2 Experiment:
The daphnia were immobilized caused by an oily film on the surface. Obviously the undissolved parts of the test item couldn’t be separated by taking the lower phase. The effect on the daphnia can be stated as a physical effect. Therefore the experiment was repeated, but the test solution was prepared by spiking dilution water with a stock solution of the test item in acetone.
3. Experiment:
None of the daphnia were immobilized. As the solubility lies between 0.1 and 1 mg/L (due to the hydrolysis of the test item, no exact water solubility could be determined), it could not be confirmed that the limit of solubility was tested in this experiment. Therefore a further experiment with the treatment 1 mg/L was performed.
4. Experiment:
In the treatment after 24 hours, one daphnia was immobilized at the surface. Through the medium renewal, the daphnia was able to remobilize during the test. Based on these results, a further experiment with analytical determination was performed. In order to ensure testing at the maximal water solubility, the treatment 1 mg/L was chosen.
5. Experiment:
In the treatment 10 % of the daphnia were immobilized on the surface after 24 hours and 30 % after 48 hours. Therefore a further experiment with five concentrations was performed.
6. Experiment:
The immobility values changed in the same treatment between 24 and 48 hours. Caused by the medium renewal some of the daphnia were able to remobilize. In the concentrations 1.0 and 0.56 mg/L an thin oily film could be observed. This film has probably caused the immobilization. As a dose-response correlation is visible, this test was used to determine the results. - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- - Results with reference substance valid? yes
- EC50: 1.9 mg/L - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- The estimation of the EC50 of the test item was accomplished using the software OriginTM. The data were evaluated using linear fit on a probability-logarithmic scale.
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The 48 h EC50 was determined about 1 mg/L (exact value after liner extrapolation: 1.02 mg/L) and the 48 h NOEC was 0.18 mg/L.
- Executive summary:
The study was performed in order to evaluate the toxic potential of 2,2-Dimethyl-3-lauroyloxy-propanal towards freshwater shrimp, using the species Daphnia magna. Six experiments were performed. As the test item is poorly water soluble, the “water-accommodated fraction” was tested in the first experiment. This was done by weighing the nominal load 100 mg/L, adding the corresponding amount of dilution water and shaking vigorously for 24 hours. The resulting solution was filtrated through 0.45μm filters. The daphnia were immobilized on the surface already after 24 hours caused by an oily phase of the test item. The second experiment was performed likewise but with stirring instead of shaking. The resulting solution was left to stand for about 30 minutes. The lower phase was used for the test which was performed as a semi-static test. After 24 hours, the daphnia were immobilized on the surface. The oily film was visible again. All following experiments were performed under semi-static conditions with medium renewal after 24 hours. For the third and fourth experiment, a stock solution in acetone was prepared. The treatments 0.1 and 1 mg/L were prepared by spiking the corresponding amount of dilution water with this stock solution. The treatment 1 mg/L was used as lying well above maximal water solubilityof 0.227 mg/L. No daphnia were immobilized after 48 hours. In the control, the same concentration of acetone didn’t show any effect. Based on these experiments, the fifth experiment was performed as a limit-test using the treatment 1 mg/L with a acetone-spiked test solution. After 48 hours 30 % of the daphnia were immobilized on the surface. Therefore the last experiment was performed using five concentrations between 0.1 and 1 mg/L. Twenty daphnia were exposed to the test item for 48 hours in a semi-static test system. After 24 and 48 hours, the immobilized daphnia were counted. As no daphnia were dead after 24 hours, but immobilized on the surface, some of them were able to remobilize during the test. This was potentially due to the test item’s physicochemical properties causing film-formation at the top of the water phase (as noted at higher concentrations). None of the animals were immobilized in the control. The 48 h EC50 was determined about 1 mg/L (exact value after liner extrapolation: 1.02 mg/L) and the 48 h NOEC was 0.18 mg/L. These data were already submitted in a NONS dossier under Directive 92/32/EEC (notification number 05-04-1922-00 from 2005-10-25) and considered valid and uncritical from the German Competent Authority (BAUA).
Reference
In the fifth experiment at the beginning, after 4, 24 and 28 hours of the test, the content of the test item in each test solution was determined using GC. The measured concentration of each fresh test solution (medium renewal after 24 hours) was 45 and 54 % of the nominal concentration. This is caused by the hydrolysis of the test item which is faster than the average time needed for sample preparation. Four hours after the preparation of each new medium only 10 and 15 % of the nominal concentration were determined. The test item is not stable in water (as has been demonstrated in the respective study “water solubility determination”). Due to the fast degradation referring to determined values is not meaningful and only the nominal values were used for the determination of the biological results.
In the sixth experiment at the beginning, after 4, 24 and 28 hours of the test, the content of the test item in each test solution was determined using GC.
The measured concentrations of the fresh test solutions (at the start of the test and at the medium renewal after 24 hours) were between 21 and 66 % of the nominal concentrations. Sample preparation and clean-up requires about one hour. During this time, the test item undergoes already hydrolysis which probably caused these low recoveries. The measured concentrations 4 hours after preparing each new medium (4 and 28 hours after the start of the test) were between 8 and 35 % of the corresponding nominal concentration. The test item is not stable in water (as has been demonstrated in the respective study “water solubility determination”). Due to the fast degradation referring to determined values is not meaningful and only the nominal values were used for the determination of the biological results.
