Sampling and analysis
- Analytical monitoring:
- yes
- Details on sampling:
- - Sampling method: the effect of oxypyrion on the growth of Selenastrum capricornutum was determined over a period of 72 hrs (OECD 201) and 120 hrs (US EPA. FIFRA Methods 122.2 and 154.10).
Samples for possible analysis were taken from all test concentrations and the control at t= 0, t= 72h and t= 120h. 20 mL of volume was taken from the approximate centre of the test vessels. At the end of the exposure period, the replicates were pooled at each concentration before sampling
- Sample storage conditions before analysis: Additionally, reserve samples of 20 mL were taken for possible analysis. The samples were stored in a refrigerator.
The samples of aqueous test media (20 mL) were diluted with HPLC mobile phase within the concentration range of 0.15 to 0.5 mg/L. The concentrations of Oxypyrion in these samples were then determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using a spectrophotometric detector
Test solutions
- Vehicle:
- no
- Details on test solutions:
- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
- Method: at the start, an aliquot (40 mL) of the inoculum was added to each of the prepared test vessels to give a density of 1x10^4 cells/mL. At 10 mg/L, the test medium was made from a concentrated aqueous dilution (nominally 100 mg/L) in which test material has been added directly to mineral salts medium. At 5 mg/l and below the test media were prepared from a series of intermediate stock dilutions (3.13 to 50 mg/L) prepared in mineral salts medium from the concentrated aqueous stock. An aliquot (10 mL) of the appropriate stock dilution was added to each vessel.
- Evidence of undissolved material (e.g. precipitate, surface film, etc): final test solutions were clear and colourless
Test organisms
- Test organisms (species):
- Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata (previous names: Raphidocelis subcapitata, Selenastrum capricornutum)
- Details on test organisms:
- TEST ORGANISM
- Common name: unicellular green algae
- Strain: Selenastrum capricornutum (Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata)
- Source (laboratory, culture collection): Culture Centre for Algae and Protozoa (CCAP), Freshwater Biological Association, Ferry House, Far Sawrey, Ambleside, Cumbria
- Method of cultivation: liquid cultures for the test inoculum were established by inoculation of the appropriate algal medium (50 mL) with cells aseptically removed from slope cultures. Subsequently, subcultures were prepared from these liquid cultures by the aseptic transfer of aliquots into fresh algal medium, which were then incubated for several days, until the required cell density had been achieved. Liquid cultures were maintained in a temperature-controlled illuminated orbital incubator, at 20 - 25°C, at a nominal shaking speed of 175 revolutions per minute.
ACCLIMATION
- Acclimation period: 3 days
- Culturing media and conditions (same as test or not): In the 7 hr and 120-hr tests, the test inocula containing 2.5 x 10^4 cells/mL were prepared in the appropriate sterile algal megium, by the dilution ot liquid subcultures of 1.3 x 10^6 cells/mL and 5.8 x 10^5 cells/mL respectively.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- A 72-h growth inhibition test with the unicellular green alga Selenastrum capricornutum (Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata) was performed with the test substance Oxypyrion according to the OECD guideline 201 (GLP conditions) and a 120-h growth inhibition test according the US EPA.FIFRA Methods 122.2 and 154.10.
Under the conditions of the OECD procedure 201 (72-hours) exposure to Oxypyrion caused a significant reduction in both the average specific growth rates and biomass of Selenastrum capricornutum cultures at levels of 2.29 mg/L and above. The 72-h EC50 for growth rate inhibition was 6.60 mg/L (95% confidence limits 5.55 and 8.24 mg/L).
Under the conditions of the US EPA.FIFRA Methods 122.2 and 154.10 (120-hours) exposure to Oxypyrion caused a significant reduction in both the average specific growth rates and biomass of Selenastrum capricornutum cultures at levels of 9.90 mg/L and above. The 120-h EC50 for growth rate inhibition was 7.02 mg/L (95% confidence limits 6.67 and 7.41 mg/L). The results of the test can be considered reliable without restrictions.
The slight reduction in toxicity of Oxypyrion observed under the conditions of the US EPA.FIFRA test compared to that obtained in the OECD test conditions was considered to be due to the instability of the test material over the longer exposure period (120 hrs).
