- Details on test solutions:
- The test solution was prepared in aseptic condition. The test item was prepared by adding 4 mg of test item in 250 ml of BBM to get the final concentration of 16 mg/L. This stock solution was kept for stirring for 20 minutes to obtain a homogenous solution for the experiment. The test concentrations were chosen according to the available data of the test item. The concentrations chosen were set up to the water solubility limit.
The remaining test solutions were prepared by dilution from the above stock solution. To have a better growth and visibility of cells, the initial of the culture was kept 1 X 104cells/ml. Care was taken to have a homogeneous solution for the experiment. - Test organisms (species):
- Chlorella vulgaris
- Details on test organisms:
- The fresh water green alga Chlorella vulgaris, was used as the test system (organism). Sterile, unicellular, suspension cultures of algae were obtained from National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI), Nagpur and maintained at Unique Ecotox Research Laboratory, Nagpur. The culture was examined under the microscope to confirm that it was unicellular, healthy and not contaminated.
The medium to be used for the growth of algae was Bold’s Basal Medium (BBM). It is a medium composed of macronutrients, micronutrients, alkaline EDTA solution and Iron solution. Stock solution of each of these was prepared separately and then a complete medium was prepared and sterilized. De-ionized water was used to prepare the BBM. - Test type:

Additional information
In the following information from experimental studies report and different peer reviewed journal on toxicity to aquatic algae and cyanobacteria for target chemical is summarized:
The effect of test chemical was studied on the growth of fresh water green alga Chlorella vulgaris. The study was conducted following OECD guideline 201- Alga, growth inhibition test. The test concentration chosen for the study were 0.5mg/L,1mg/L,2mg/L,4mg/L,8mg/L,16mg/L. The test concentrations were prepared using stock solution of the test item using mineral media. The green alga was exposed to the test concentration for a period of 72 hours to observe average specific growth rate and % growth inhibition under the effect of the test item. EC50 calculated graphically through probit analysis was observed to be 9.249 mg/L.This value indicates that the test chemical is toxic to aquatic algae and hence can be classified as Aquatic chronic toxic category 2 as per the CLP regulation.
Toxicity to algae test was performed on Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata for test chemical for 7 days. Basic ASM was used as a test medium with test conditions as 20 degree C and at pH 7.Based on population changes effect, the No-observable-effect-concentration (i.e.NOEC) value of test chemical to Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata was determined to be 1 mg/l.
Toxicity to algae test was performed on Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata for test chemical for 7 days. Basic ASM was used as a test medium with test conditions as 20 degree C and at pH 7.Based on population changes effect, the Lowest-observable-effect-concentration (i.e.LOEC) value of test chemical to Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata was determined to be 10 mg/l.
The main objective of this study was to understand the effect of test chemical on the growth of fresh water algae, Desmodesmus subspicatus. The test was performed, in accordance with the OECD 201 guideline. A range of concentration was selected (2.5, 5, 10, 20, and 40 mg/L ) in a geometric sequence of 2, In parallel to the test chemical, control was also run simultaneously in triplicates.The study was conducted in the static exposure conditions, for the period of 3 days (72h). After the exposure period the growth rate was calculated, to evaluate the inhibition caused by the test chemical. Based on the obtained results, the EC50 was calculated to be 20.5 mg/L. As per the new CLP classification criteria the test chemical can be classified into aquatic chronic 3 category.
Even though varied results for toxicity to aquatic algae and cyanobacteria were available but, based on the maximum notifiers in ECHA and the effect concentration from first experimental study report and data from peer reviewed journal,we can consider that the test chemical is toxic and can be classified as aquatic chronic 2.
