- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION
Two initial stock solutions were prepared at concentrations of 0.40 and 0.20 mg/mL. Test solutions were prepared by serial dilution of the stock solutions. Acetone was used as a vehicle.
Test organisms
- Test organisms (species):
- Daphnia magna
- Details on test organisms:
- TEST ORGANISM
- Common name: Water flea
- Source: Laboratory reared culture
- Maintenance conditions: Adult Daphnia were maintained in 2 L stock tanks.
- Rearing conditions: Illumination (cool-white fluorescent) 2122 ± 193 lux; 16 hour light / 8 hour dark photoperiod; temperature 20 ± 2 °C. Daphnids were fed an algal diet of Selenastrum capricornutum three times weekly.
- Age at study initiation: <24 hours. The day before instars were needed for testing, stock tanks with daphnids greater than 14 days old were removed from the incubator and the instars separated from adults by gently lifting the screened insert from the 2-L stock tank, releasing instars through the nylon mesh screen while retaining the adult daphnids. The screened insert with adult daphnids was then placed in another stock tank that contained daphnid dilution water. The original solution with instars was poured through a metal sieve into another stock tank. The instars collected on the sieve were discarded and the original solution was poured back into the initial stock tank and the corresponding screened insert holding adult daphnids was put back in place. This procedure was then repeated to obtain <24 hour old instars for the test.

OTHER TEST CONDITIONS
- Photoperiod: 16 hours light / 8 hours dark
- Light intensity: 2100 ± 152 lux
EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED
All daphnia were observed daily for mortality (no visible heartbeat or no response to gentle prodding) and sub-lethal effects (immobility or floating on the surface). Dead instars were not removed from the test vessels. Observations were performed at 0, 3, 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours.
PHYSICAL MEASUREMENTS
Measurements of dissolved oxygen, pH and temperature were taken daily in each vessel from each test concentration and control. The temperature of the incubator was also continuously recorded.
TEST CONCENTRATIONS
- Range finding study: Yes.
Two range-finder studies were conducted. In the first study, there was an insufficient number of instars to adequately evaluate the toxicity of the test material. Therefore, a second range-finder study was conducted. The results of the second study indicated that the 48-hour LC50 value was less than 13.0 mg/L.
- Results used to determine the conditions for the definitive study: Yes - Reference substance (positive control):
- no

- The concentration-mortality and effect data are presented in Table 1.
- Reported statistics and error estimates:
- A computer program was used to calculate the EC50 and LC50 values and corresponding 95 % confidence intervals. This program had three methods available: probit analysis, moving average angle analysis and binomial probability/non-linear interpolation. The probit analysis and moving average methods calculate both the estimated EC50/LC50 value and its confidence interval. The binomial method calculates only the confidence interval, while a point estimate of the EC50/LC50 is obtained using non-linear interpolation, i.e., log transformation of the concentration and angle transformation of the number dead. The moving average method is less rigorous, statistically, than the probit; the binomial/non-linear interpolation method is less rigorous than the moving average. The order of preference used to select the method for reporting EC50/LC50 values is: probit analysis, moving average and binomial/non-linear interpolation. However, the appropriateness of a given method is determined in the program by the concentration-response data, e.g., the number of concentrations resulting in adverse effects between 0 and 100 percent.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the study the 48 hour EC50 value was determined to be 1.94 mg/L with 95 % confidence limits of 1.52 - 2.27 mg/L. The 48 hour LC50 value was determined to be 3.31 mg/L with 95 % confidence limits of 2.27 - 3.91 mg/L. A No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC) was not established.
- Executive summary:
The acute toxicity of the test material to the water flea, Daphnia magna Straus, was investigated in a study which was conducted under GLP conditions and in accordance with the standardised guidelines EPA OTS 797.1300 and OECD 202.
During the study, four replicate groups of five water fleas were exposed to nominal treatment levels of 1.68, 2.81, 4.68, 7.80 and 13.00 mg/L under static conditions for 48 hours. Four replicate groups of five water fleas were also used for laboratory water and solvent controls.
All daphnia were observed daily for mortality (no visible heartbeat or no response to gentle prodding) and sub-lethal effects (immobility or floating on the surface).
Under the conditions of the study the 48 hour EC50 value was determined to be 1.94 mg/L with 95 % confidence limits of 1.52 - 2.27 mg/L. The 48 hour LC50 value was determined to be 3.31 mg/L with 95 % confidence limits of 2.27 - 3.91 mg/L. A No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC) was not established.
