- key study
- Study period:
- January 1992
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: This robust summary has a reliability rating of 2 because only limited analyses accompanied the study. However, the study generally followed a standard guideline and GLP, and was conducted without deviations that would invalidate the study.
- Reason / purpose for cross-reference:

- Guideline:
- EPA OPPTS 850.1020 (Gammarid Acute Toxicity Test)

- Details on sampling:
- The water accommodated fraction prepared at 1000 mg/L and the control used on Day 2 of the study were analyzed. Both samples were analyzed upon preparation and after 24 hours.
- Vehicle:

- Details on test solutions:
- Individual treatment solutions were prepared by adding accurately weighed test substance, to 0.5 L of natural seawater in erlenmeyer flasks. The stock solutions were thoroughly mixed for 24 hours and then the phases were allowed to separate for 24 hours. The Water Accommodated Fraction (WAF) was then drawn off the mixing vessel into the test vessels.
- Test organisms (species):
- other aquatic crustacea: Chaetogammarus marinus
- Details on test organisms:

- Conclusions:
- The water accommodated fraction of the test substance did not produce a 50% effect (mortality) with Chaetogammarus marinus at loadings up to 1000 mg/L after a 96-hour exposure. Therefore, the 96-hour LL50 is reported as >1000 mg/L. There was no mortality at the 1000 mg/L loading level after 96 hours. Therefore, the 96-hour NOELR for mortality is reported as 1000 mg/L. There was also no mortality in the control.
- Executive summary:
Water accommodated fractions (WAFs) of the test substance did not produce a 50% effect (mortality) with Chaetogammarus marinus after 96 hours at loadings up to 1000 mg/L. Therefore, the 96-hour LL50 is reported as >1000 mg/L. There was no mortality at the 320 and 1000 mg/L loading levels after 96 hours. However, effects on swimming and feeding behavior were observed in the 320 and 1000 mg/L loading levels. Therefore, the NOELR is reported as 1000 mg/L for mortality and 100 mg/L for the two non lethal effects. Although 10% mortality (1 organism) was observed in the 100 mg/L loading treatment, no mortality was observed in the 320 and 1000 mg/L loading treatments. Because no mortality occurred in the two higher loading levels, the mortality observed in the 100 mg/L was likely not caused by the test material. There was also no mortality in the control during the study. The control and treatment solutions were renewed every 24 hours. Analytical results showed that the treatment solution contained components of the test substance and that their combined concentration represented 0.096 mg/L of the test substance, based on one sample from a freshly prepared WAF for day 2. The 24-hour old sample from day two was reported as almost non detectable. The low analytical results are to be expected because of the very low water solubility of the components of the test substance. The reported 0.096 mg/L is likely to represent the highest achievable concentration of the test substance under the conditions of the test.
