OTHER TEST CONDITIONS
- Sterile test conditions: no
- Photoperiod: 24 h
- Light intensity and quality: 5803 lux (range: 5480 to 6440 lux)
EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED (with observation intervals if applicable) :
- The cell density on each observation time and of each sample was determined by spectrophotometric measurement (absorption at 685 nm). Therefore, defined volumes of the algal suspensions from all replicates and from the blanks were sampled after 24, 48 and 72 hours of exposure, and were not replaced. The algal cell densities were calculated by subtracting the absorption of the blanks, from each of the measured absorption of the test media (with algae). Measured absorption was related to the cell density according to a calibration curve (linear regression based on determination of cell numbers and absorption of an algal suspension and its dilutions).

Values refer to nominal test concentrations - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- Based on the calculated cell densities, the 72 hours ErC50 and the 72 hours EyC50 (see Definitions), the corresponding EC20 and EC10 values and where possible their 95 %-confidence limits were calculated by Probit analysis.
For the determination of the 72 hours LOEC and the 72 hours NOEC, the calculated growth rates and yields at each test concentration were tested for significant differences compared to the control values by Williams t-test (yield and growth rate).
The software used to perform the statistical analysis was ToxRat Professional, Version 3.2.1, ToxRat Solutions GmbH. - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The 72-hour ErC50 value was determined to be > 100 mg test item/L. The 72-hour NOEyC was determined to be 3.2 mg test item/L and the associated 72-hour LOEyC was 10 mg test item/L. The 72-hour NOErC was determined to be 3.2 mg test item/L and the associated 72-hour LOErC was 10 mg test item/L.
- Executive summary:
The toxicity of the test substance to the unicellular freshwater green alga Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata was determined according to the principles of OECD 201 and Council Regulation (EC) No. 761/2009/Method C.3. at IBACON GmbH, Rossdorf. The aim of the study was the determination of NOEC, LOEC, EC10-, EC20- and EC50-values of growth rate and yield over a period of 72 hours.
The study was conducted under static conditions with an initial cell density of 5000 cells/mL. A stock solution of 100 mg/L was prepared by direct addition of the test item to the dilution water and shaken until the test item was completely dissolved. Five concentrations were tested in a geometrical series with a dilution factor of 3.2 (nominal): 100, 32, 10, 3.2 and 1.0 mg test item/L. Three replicates were tested for each test item concentration and six replicates for the control. The quantification of the test item was performed using liquid chromatography with MS/MS detection. At the start of the test, 86 % of the nominal test concentrations were found (average of all test concentrations). After 72 hours test duration, 90 % of the nominal value was determined (average of all test concentrations). The 72-hour ErC50 value was determined to be > 100 mg test item/L and the 72-hour NOErC was determined to be 3.2 mg test item/L.
