- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances):
A primary stock solution of the test substance in acetone was prepared at a nominal concentration of 10.1 mg/mL by addition of 10.1 g of neat material to a 1.0 Liter Class A glass volumetric flask and filling it to volume with acetone.
During each diluter cycle, a Hamilton Microlab 440 syringe pump injected 0.46 mL of the primary stock solution into 4.645 liters of dilution water in the diluter mix tank. This secondary stock concentration was the highest test concentration of 1.0 mg/L. The 1.0 mg/L solution was further diluted by the diluter system to produce the nominal test concentrations of 0.13, 0.22, 0.36 and 0.60 mg/L.
A control of dilution water and a solvent control (acetone at 0.1 mL/L) were also tested.
The diluter cycled approximately 6 cycles/hour (144 cycles per day). The diluter delivered approximately 1.0 L of test solution per replicate tank per cycle, or approximately 0.066 volume additions per cycle and approximately 9.5 volume additions per day. - Test organisms (species):

Description of key information
LC50 (96 h):0.22 mg/L (mean measured, Lepomis macrochirus, OECD 203)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Two short term studies with fish were carried out for the evaluation of short term effects to freshwater fish in cold and warm water. The studies referred to herein were conducted according to the prevailing OECD testing guidelines (OECD 203) and GLP.
Based on analytically verified test concentrations in flow-through systems, the short term effects of the substance towards fish were found in the same range with an LC50 (96 h) of 0.34 mg/L for the rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and an LC50 (96 h) of 0.22 mg/L for the bluegill sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus).
