- Details on test solutions:
- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION
- Stock solution: Solution was prepared by sonicating a solution with a nominal concentration of 100 mg/L (actually three separate 500-mL volumes of freshwater algal medium to which 0.05 g of test item was added) for 15 minutes and then filtering the solution through a 0.2-µm filter to remove any undissolved test substance.
- This solution was analyzed and utilized as the stock for preparing the five test concentrations.
- Blank: A dilution water control was maintained concurrently
(- Evidence of undissolved material: All test chambers were filled with appropriate test solutions (without filtration) and allowed to sit over the weekend to permit the test substance to coat the glassware. These solutions were discarded when the test was initiated and fresh solutions were added).

- Executive summary:
In a 96 hour acute toxicity study, cultures of the green algae Selenastrum capricornutum were exposed to the test item (as described in section 1.2) at nominal concentrations of 0, 6.25, 12.5, 25.0, 50.0, and 100 mg test item/L (based on loading concentration of 100 mg/L) or 0. 0.011, 0.022, 0.045, 0.090, and 0.179 mg/L (based on concentration of 0.179 mg/L in water accomodated fraction) under static conditions. No growth inhibition was observed in the test. There were no compound related phytotoxic effects. The EC50 was > 0.083 mg test item/L (corresponding to a nominal concentration of > 100 mg/L) for 72 hours and the NOEC was 0.083 mg test item/L, related to the analytically verified concentrations. The EC50 was > 0.142 mg test item/L (corresponding to a nominal concentration of > 100 mg/L) for 96 hours and the NOEC was 0.142 mg test item/L, related to the analytically verified concentrations. This toxicity study is classified as acceptable and satisfies the guideline requirements for a toxicity study on Freshwater Alga and Cyanobacteria, Growth Inhibition Test (OECD TG 201).
