- Details on sampling:
- Duplicate samples were taken from each loading rate and the control at the start and at 48-hours. For the 48-hour stability samples, the contents of the respective replicates were pooled.
All samples were stored frozen prior to analysis. - Vehicle:
- no
- Details on test solutions:
- - Method: water accommodated fractions (WAFs)
Nominal amounts of test item (5.0, 16, 50, 160 and 500 mg) were each separately added to the surface of 5 liters of test water to give the 1.0, 3.2, 10, 32 and 100 mg/L loading rates respectively. After the addition of the test item, the test water was stirred by magnetic stirrer using a stirring rate such that a vortex was formed to give a dimple at the water surface. The stirring was stopped after 23 hours and the mixtures allowed to stand for 1 hour. Visual observations made on the WAFs indicated that a significant amount of dispersed test item was present in the water column and hence it was considered justifiable to remove the WAFs by filtering through a glass wool plug (2-4 cm in length). A wide bore glass tube, covered at one end with Nescofilm was submerged into the vessel, sealed end down, to a depth of approximately 5 cm from the bottom of the vessel. A length of Tygon tubing was inserted into the glass tube and pushed through the Nescofilm seal. A glass wool plug was inserted into the opposite end of the tubing and the WAF removed by mid-depth siphoning (the first 75-100 mL discarded) to give the 1.0, 3.2, 10, 32 and 100 mg/L loading rate WAFs. Microscopic observations of the WAFs were performed after filtering and showed that filtration had removed all of the dispersed test item.
- Controls: test water (ISO 6341) - Test organisms (species):
- Daphnia magna
- Details on test organisms:
- TEST ORGANISM
- Common name: water flee
- Source: in-house culture
- Age at study initiation: < 24 h
Adult daphnia were maintained in 150 mL glass beakers containing Elendt M7 medium in a temperature controlled room at approximately 20 °C. The lighting cycle was controlled to give a 16 hours light and 8 hours darkness cycle with 20 minute dawn and dusk transition periods.
Cultures were fed daily with a mixture of algal suspension (Desmodesmus subspicatus) and Tetramin® flake food suspension.
Culture conditions ensured that reproduction was by parthenogenesis.
Gravid adults were isolated the day before initiation of the test, such that the young daphnids produced overnight were less than 24 hours old. These young were removed from the cultures and used for testing.
The diet and diluent water are considered not to contain any contaminant that would affect the integrity or outcome of the study.
- Feeding during test: none
ACCLIMATION
- Acclimation period: not relevant, conditions were comparable for maintenance and testing - Test type:
- static
- Water media type:
- freshwater
- Limit test:
- no
- Total exposure duration:
- 48 h
- Hardness:
- 2.5 mM (250 mg CaCO3/L)
- Test temperature:
- 22 °C
- pH:
- 7.3 - 7.6
- Dissolved oxygen:
- 8.5 - 8.9 mg O2/L
- Nominal and measured concentrations:
- nominal loading rates: 3.2, 10, 32, and 100 mg/L as WAF
measured test concentrations:
test start (0 h): 2.62 – 20.3 mg/L
test end (48 h): 96 – 103 % of the initially measured values
The samples of the loading rate 1.0 was not analyzed since this loading rate was below the 48-hour NOELR determined in this test and was therefore not relevant for the interpretation of the biological results.
The biological results are based on the loading rate of the test item. - Details on test conditions:

- Statistical analyses were performed using the ToxRat Professional computer software package (ToxRat® Solutions GmbH, Version 2.10.06).
The EL50 values and associated confidence limits at 24 and 48 hours were calculated by Probit analysis using Linear Maximum-Likelihood regression.

- In the control, not more that 10 % of the daphnids have been immobilised or showed other sub-lethal effects; the dissolved oxygen concentration at the end of the test was > 3 mg/l in all vessels.
