- No. of vessels per concentration (replicates): three replicates per test concentration
- No. of vessels per control (replicates): six replicates
GROWTH MEDIUM

OTHER TEST CONDITIONS

EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED (with observation intervals if applicable) :
- Determination of cell concentrations: electronic particle counter
Small volumes of the test media and the control (1.0 mL) were taken out of all test fiasks after 24, 48, and 72 hours exposure, and were not replaced. The algal cell densities in the samples were determined by counting with an electronic particle counter (Coulter Counter®, Model ZM), with at least two measurements per sample.
TEST CONCENTRATIONS

- Details on results:
- - Exponential growth in the control (for algal test): yes
- Observation of abnormalities (for algal test): no abnomalities
- Unusual cell shape: no
- Colour differences: no - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- The EC values were as far as possible calculated by linear interpolation between log-concentrations and %-responses of the two consecutive test concentrations with no (nominal 0.32 mg/L) and significant inhibifion (nominal 1.0 mg/L). The calculation of the EC values are based on the mean measured test item concentrations. For the determination of the LOEC and NOEC, the calculated mean biomass and the mean growth rate at the test concentrations were tested for significant differences when compared to the control values by a Dunnett-test.
- Conclusions:
- The NOErC 72h of the substance EC 401-280-0 and its hydrolysate is 0.32 mg/L
Reference
Description of key information
The NOErC 72h of the substance EC 401-280-0 and its hydrolysate is 0.32 mg/L
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- EC10 or NOEC for freshwater algae:
- 0.32 mg/L
Additional information
Parent substance EC 401 -280 -0
The toxicity of the substance EC 401-280-0 to algae was assessed according to OECD guideline 201. The 72-h ErC50 of algae exposed to the test item was determined to be higher than 1 mg/L (nominal), the NOErC 72h was determined to be 0.32 mg/L (nominal).
Hydrolysis products
bis(2 -ethylhexyl)amine
In a supporting algal growth inhibition test with the major hydrolysis product bis(2-ethylhexyl)amine conducted in 1990 a 72 -hour ErC50 of 1.55 mg/L and an ErC10 of 0.14 mg/L were determined (BASF AG d500/89, 1989, no solvent was used in this test). The value was recalculated from the fluorometric raw data in 2005 by ECT Oekotoxikologie GmbH in order to calculate the EC values relating to the growth rate, yield and biomass.
1H-1,2,4 -triazole
In supporting data on 1H-1,2,4 -triazole the ErC50 of 45mg/L and the ErC10 of 8.7 mg/L was determined (ECHA, 2014).
Formaldehyde
The acute toxicity of formaldehyde to algae was determined to be ErC50 = 4.89 mg/L (Eisenträger, 2003).
Therefore, the test substance is considered as acutely toxic to aquatic algae.
