- Executive summary:
The acute toxicity of the test item on Daphnia magna was determined in a 48-hour semi-static test with a test medium renewal after 24 hours according to the OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals, No. 202 (2004) and the Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008, Part C.2. As the test item is a volatile substance, the test was performed using glass tubes completely filled (without headspace) with test medium that were tightly sealed with glass stoppers to avoid losses of test item by evaporation (closed system). A semi-static test design with a test medium renewal after 24 hours was used. Due to the low water solubility of the test item, the test media were prepared following the stirring/filtration method: The test item was mixed in test water at a loading rate of 100 mg/L, and was intensively stirred for 3 hours. After stirring the emulsion was filtered through a 0.45 μm membrane filter. The undiluted filtrate and the dilutions 1:2, 1:4, 1:8, 1:16 and 1:32 of the filtrate were used as test media. Additionally, a control (test water without test item) was tested in parallel. At the end of the two renewal periods, the test item concentrations were in the range of 28 to 60 % of the initially measured values, demonstrating a decrease of the test item concentrations during the 24-hour renewal periods. The mean measured test item concentrations over the test period of 48 hours were calculated as the arithmetic mean of the two geometric means which were determined from the test item concentrations measured at the start and end of each of the two test medium renewal periods. Due to the decrease of the test item concentrations during the 24-hour renewal periods, the biological results were based on the mean measured test item concentrations resulting in a 48-hour EC0 and 48-hour NOEC of 1.2 mg/L, a 48-hour EC100 of 12 mg/L and a 48-hour EC50 of 7.6 (95 % CI: 6.8 – 8.4 mg/L).
