- Other biological observations: There were no immobile animals in the control vessels and in the solutions of 320 mg/L and the lower test concentrations (see Table 1). At 560 mg/L, 15 % of the animals died, however, the condition of the surviving animals was equal to that of the control animals (visually assessed) (see Table 2).

- Conclusions:
- The 48-h EC50 (immobilization) of ethyl (S)-lactate to Daphnia magna is 683 mg/L. The 48-h NOEC (immobilization) of ethyl (S)-lactate to Dapnia magna is 320 mg/L.
- Executive summary:
The acute toxicity of ethyl (S)-lactate to the freshwater crustacean Daphnia magna was determined as decribed in OECD guideline no. 202 and according to the OECD principles of Good Laboratory Practice. The test was carried out with 4 × 5 daphnias (quadruplicate test solutions) for each concentration, and the test solutions were not replaced. The exposure duration was 48 hours. The nominal concentrations tested were 100, 180, 320, 560, 1000 and 1800 mg/L. At the start of the test the testsubstance appeared to be completely dissolved at all concentrations tested (visually assessed). The actual concentrations of ethyl (S)-lactate in the freshly prepared test solutions were determined with gas chromatography (direct injection). They were between 84 and 91 % of the nominal concentrations just after dosing (average 87 %). To test the stability of the test substance concentrations of ethyl (S)-lactate were also analysed at the end of the test and appeared to be between 50 and 86 % of the nominal concentration (average 70 %).
The results of the test were (as nominal concentrations):
24-h EC50 (mobility): 1078 mg/L
48-h EC50 (mobility): 683 mg/L
Slope of the concentration-effect curve: 6.0
48-h EC100 (mobility): 1000 mg/L
48-h NOEC (mobility = 48-h ECO): 320 mg/L
48-h NOEC (condition): 560 mg/L
