ANALYTICAL RESULTS
HPLC analyses were performed at the beginning (0 h) and after 24 and 48 h of exposure.
The nominal concentrations tested were 3.42, 7.51, 16.5, 36.4, and 80.0 mg/L. The HPLC analyses showed that the concentrations were maintained within ± 20% of the nominal concentrations throughout the test: the geometric mean of the measured concentrations (GM0 -24h, GM0 -48h) corresponded to 88, 95, 99, 98, and 107% of the nominal values after 24 h and to 88, 94, 98, 95, and 102% of the nominal values after 48 h. As the NOEC was higher than the nominal concentration of 3.42 mg/L, the two lowest concentrations (0.706 and 1.55 mg/L) were not analyzed.
Therefore, the effective concentrations ECx and the no-observed-effect concentrations (NOEC) of the test substance were assessed based on the nominal concentrations.
BIOLOGICAL RESULTS
The ECx after 24 h of exposure could not be computed, due to lacking dose/response relationsip. However, the EC10 (24 h), EC20 (24 h) and EC50 (24 h) were estimated to be 16.5 - 36.4 mg/L. The NOEC (24 h) was 16.5 mg/L.
After 48 h of exposure, the EC50 (48 h) was calculated to be 18.6 mg/L (95% CI: 14.0 - 27.4 mg/L). The low effect concentrations EC10 (48 h) was 10.5 mg/L (95% CI: 3.90 - 14.0 mg/L) and the EC20 (48 h) was 13.2 mg/L (95% confidence limits: 7.02 - 16.9 mg/L). The NOEC (48 h) was 7.51 mg/L.

Additional information
There is one key GLP study available investigating the effects of the substance towards aquatic invertebrates, which was conducted according to the OECD guideline 202.
In a static test, Daphnia magna was exposed to the five nominal test substance concentrations of 1.55, 3.42, 7.51, 16.5, 36.4, and 80.0 mg/L under controlled conditions for 48 h. Controls were run in parallel. Since the test substance is soluble, test solutions were prepared by the serial dilution of an 80 mg/L stock solution. The concentrations of the test substance were analytically verified by HPLC at 0, 24, and 48 h.
HPLC measurements showed that the test substance was fully dissolved. The geometric mean measured concentrations were 88 – 107% of the nominal concentration after 24 h and 88 – 102% of the nominal concentration after 48 h. These findings indicate that the test substance concentrations were stable for the duration of the test. Since the concentrations were within ± 20% of the nominal concentrations, the calculations of the effective concentrations ECx were based on the nominal concentrations.
After 48 h of exposure immobilization was observed. The calculated EC50 (48 h) value was 18.6 mg/L and the EC10 (48 h) was 10.5 mg/L (nominal). The NOEC (48 h) was 7.51 mg/L (nominal).
