Sampling and analysis
- Analytical monitoring:
- yes
- Details on sampling:
- - Samples were collected from each replicate test chamber at approximately 24-hour intervals during the test to determine cell densities, which were subsequently used to calculate areas under the growth curve and growth rates. A single aliquot of each sample collected during the test was diluted with an electrolyte solution (Isoton®) before doing the cell count.
- Approximately 5 mL samples were collected at approximately 24-hour intervals during the 72-hour exposure and were held for a maximum of three days under refrigerated conditions sufficient to inhibit growth until cell counts could be performed on the last day of the test.
- Samples of test solutions were collected at approximately 0 and 72 hours to measure concentrations of the test substance. Samples at test initiation were collected from the individual batches of test solution prepared for each treatment and control group prior to addition of the algae. At test termination, samples were collected from the pooled replicates from each treatment and control group. All samples were collected in glass jars and analysed immediately without storage.
Test solutions
- Vehicle:
- yes
- Details on test solutions:
- A primary stock solution was prepared by dissolving the test item in freshwater dimethylformamide (DMF) at a nominal concentration of 30 mg a.i./mL. The primary stock was inverted at least 20 times to mix and appeared clear and colourless. Working stock solutions then were prepared in DMF at nominal concentrations of 0.26,0.56,1.2,2.7,6.0 and 13 mg a.i./mL by serial dilution from the primary stock. The test solutions were prepared at nominal concentrations of 0.026,0.058,0.13,0.28,0.62,1.4 and 3.0 mg a.i./L by diluting appropriate aliquots of the primary or working stock solutions with freshwater algal medium and inverting the solutions to mix. The final concentration of DMF in the test solutions and the solvent control solution was 0.1 mL/L. All resultant test solutions appeared clear and colourless.

- Executive summary:
The objective of this study was to determine the toxicity of the test itme to the freshwater green alga, Scenedesmus subspicatus according to OECD 201 (1984). The green alga, Scenedesmus subspicatus, was exposed to a geometric series of seven test concentrations, a negative (culture medium) control and a solvent (dimethylformamide) control under static conditions for 72 hours. Nominal test concentrations selected were 0.026, 0.058, 0.13, 0.28, 0.62, 1.4 and 3.0 mg active ingredient of the test item per liter of test solution (mg a.i./L). Samples collected at the beginning of the test had measured concentrations that ranged from 93.0 to 103 % of nominal concentrations. Samples collected at test termination ranged from 90.3 to 114 % of nominal concentrations, respectively. When measured concentrations of the samples collected at 0 and 72 hours were averaged, the mean measured test concentrations for this study were 0.028, 0.059, 0. 12, 0.26, 0.60, 1.3 and 3.0 mg a.i./L. Mean measured concentrations were used in the calculation of EC50 values. The 72-hour EbC50 value, based on area under the growth curve, for Scenedesmus subspicatus exposed to the test item was 2.4 mg a.i./L with 95 % confidence limits of 2.0 and 2.6 mg a.i./L. The 72-hour ErC50 value, based on growth rate, was greater than 3.0 mg a.i./L, the highest concentration tested. The NOEC based on area under the growth curve and growth rate at 72 hours was 1.3 mg a.i./L.
