- Details on results:
- As Mesamoll is an UVCB substance four peaks were detected in the chromatogram. The BCF values were determined using these peaks as representatives of the mixture yielding a BCF range, whereas the lowest and hightes value is presented.
Steady-state: It is considered that steady-state is reached, when three successive results of BCF at intervals of 48 hours or longer are within 20% of each other.
Although variation of the mean bioconcentration factors determined at 3 consecutive measurements by the end of exposure period at peak A in high concentration level did not fall within ±20%, bioconcentration factors were regarded to have reached the steady state since the bioconcentration factors during exposure period were less than 100. However, bioconcentration factors at steady state (BCFss) were indicated as range of factors.
The bioconcentration factors at peak A in low concentration level were regarded to have reached the steady state since the bioconcentration factors during exposure period were less than 100 and the detection limit. However, bioconcentration factors at steady state (BCFss) were indicated as range of factors.
For levels, steady peak B, peak C and peak D in high and low concentration bioconcentration factors were confirmed to have reached state since variation of mean bioconcenration factors determined at 3 consecuti ve measurements by the end of exposure period fell within ± 20%. Bioconcentration factors at steady state were 7 (peak B), 39 (peak C) and 24 (peak D) at high concentration level and 56 (peak B), 212 (peak C) and 117 (peak D) at low concentration level, respectively.
In the blank test the concentration of Mesamoll in fish was calculated to be < 5.8 µg/g.
The following quality criteria were met:
During the period of the test, the concentration of dissolved oxygen and the temperature variation fulfilled the test conditions;
the pH values were within the range;
the mortalities in both control and treated fish were less than 10 % at the end of the test;
there was no abnormality in shape of the body or in swimming and feeding behaviour observed
chemical analysis stated that the test substance was sufficiently stable under test conditions and the concentration in the test system was sufficiently close to the nominal values - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The BCF of Mesamoll ranges from 7 to 39 and 56 to 212 having a concentration in the water phase of 1 mg/L and 0.1 mg/L, respectively. Accordingly, the test item has only a low potential to accumulate in aquatic organisms.
- Executive summary:
The study was conducted in accordance with the Test Method Relating to New Chemical Substances (1974, amended 1998), which precribes the procedure for testing new chemical subst:ances as required by the Chemical Substances Control Law of Japan. In addition to the control (28 fish), two groups of 36 carps each were exposed to the test substance at different concentration levels (0.1 mg/L and 1 mg/L) through the medium of dilution water for 36 days. The water was aerated and maintained at 24°C. During the exposure period, the concentrations of the test substance in water and fish were measured periodically. The bioconcentration factors (BCF) calculated from the results were used to evaluate the potential for the test substance to accumulate in the tissues of carp. Before starting the bioconcentration test, an acute toxicity test with Medaka was conducted for 96 hours and a 50% lethal concentration (LC50 ) was determined. As the test substance was a mixture, four peaks were detected in LC/MS chromatograms. Concentration of the test substance was measured at retention time of each peaks.
Although variation of the mean bioconcentration factors determined at 3 consecutive measurements by the end of exposure period at peak A in high concentration level did not fall within ± 20%, bioconcentration factors were regarded to have reached the steady state since the bioconcentration factors during exposure period were less than 100. However, bioconcentration factors at steady state (BCFssl were indicated as rage of factors. The bioconcentration factors at peak A in low concentration level were regarded to have reached the steady state since the bioconcentration factors during exposure period were less than 100 and the detection limit. However, bioconcentration factors at steady state (BCFss) were indicated as range of factors. For peak B, peak C and peak D in high and low concentration levels, bioconcentration factors were confirmed to have reached steady state since variation of mean bioconcenration factors determined at 3 consecutive measurement.s by the end of exposure period fell wi thin ± 20%. Bioconcentration factors at steady state were 7 (peak B), 39 (peak C) and 24 (peak D) at high concentration level and 56 (peak B), 212 (peak C) and 117 (peak D) at low concentration level, respectively.
The bioconcentration factors (BCF) obtained in this study were as follows: 7 to 39 and 56 to 212 having a concentration in the water phase of 1 mg/L and 0.1 mg/L, respectively.
