OTHER TEST CONDITIONS
- Photoperiod: a 16-hour light to 8-hour dark photoperiod (with a 30 minute transition period).
- Light intensity: light intensity during the light period was between approximately 470 and 640 Lux.
EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED
The daphnids were observed for immobility after 24 and 48 hours of exposure (daphnids not being able to swim within 15 seconds after gentle agitation of the test beaker are considered to be immobilized). The NOEC and EC0 were determined directly from the raw data.
POSITIVE CONTROL
Positive control was tested at lest once a year in the testing laboratory. Last test results demonstrated the sensitivity of the test organisms. - Reference substance (positive control):
- yes
- Remarks:
- potassium dichromate
- Duration:
- 48 h
- Dose descriptor:
- EC50
- Effect conc.:
- > 78 mg/L
- Nominal / measured:
- meas. (geom. mean)
- Conc. based on:
- test mat.
- Basis for effect:
- mobility
- Details on results:
- ln the control and at the nominal concentration of the test item of 100 mg/l (mean measured concentration of 78 mg/l), no immobilized test organisms were observed during the test period of 48 hours.
Therefore, the 48-hour NOEC and the 48-h EC0 to Daphnia magna were determined to be at least 100 mg/l (mean measured 78 mg/l). The 48-h NOEC and 48-h EC0 might even be higher, but higher concentrations of the test item could not be tested due to the limited solubility of the test item in the test water. The 48-h EC50 and EC100 were clearly higher than 100 mg/l (mean measured 78 mg/l). These values could not be quantified due to the absence of toxicity of test item at the tested concentration.
MEASURED CONCENTRATIONS
At the start of the test, the measured concentration of the test item in the test medium was 82 % of the nominal concentration. At the end oithe test, 74 % of the nominal concentration was found in the test medium. The slight decrease of the test item concentration in the test medium during the test period was caused by precipitation and sedimentation of a part of the test item. At the end of the test, a part of the test item lay at the bottom of the test vessels. Thus, the maximum solubility of the test item in the test medium under the test conditions was obviously exceeded. The biological results were based on the nominal concentration of 100 mg/l and the mean measured concentration of thetest item in the test medium of 78 mg/l (calculated as geometric mean of the concentrations measured at the start and the end of the test).
TEST CONDITIONS
At the start of the test and after 24 hours, the test medium was colored (yellow) by the test item and a turbidity of the test medium was observed. After 48 hours, a part of the test item lay on the bottom of the test vessels. At the beginning and the end of the test period, the dissolved oxygen concentration in the test medium and in the control was at least 8.2 mg/l. The pH value of the test medium and the control was 7.8. The water temperature was 20 °C at the start and the end of the test. - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- The latest result of positive control test showed an EC50 (3h) of 0.67 mg/l; the value resulted to be within the historical range, i.e 0.53 - 1.1 mg/l
. - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Remarks:
- In the control not more that 10 % of the daphnids were immobilised; the dissolved oxygen concentration at the end of the test was more than 3 mg/l in control and test vessels
- Conclusions:
- EC50 (48h) > 78 mg/l (meas. geom. mean)
- Executive summary:
The acute toxicity of the test item to Daphnia magna was determined in a 48-h static test, according to the EU Commission Directive 92/69/EEC, part c.2 (1992) and the OECD Guideline No. 202 (2004).
A limit test was performed in accordance with the test guidelines to demonstrate that the test item has no toxic effect on the test organisms up to and including the concentration of 100 mg/l. Thus, the only nominal conceniration tested was 100 mg/l and a control. In pre-experiments it was noticed that a part of the test item precipitates in the test water during the test period, presumably due to formation of complexes with ions of the test water. Therefore, the hardness of the test water used in the main study was lowered to the minimum hardness of 140 mg/l (as CaCO3) recommended by the OECD test guideline to minimize precipitation of the test item.
At the start of the test, the measured concentration of the test item in the test medium was 82 % of the nominal concentration. At the end of the test 74 % of the nominal concentration was found in the test medium. The slight decrease of the test item concentration in the test medium during the test period was caused by precipitation and sedimentation of a part of the test item. At the end of the test, a part of the test item lay at the bottom of the test vessels. Thus, the maximum solubility of the test item in the test medium under the test conditions was obviously exceeded. The biological results were based on the nominal concentration of 100 mg/l and the mean measured concentration of the test item in the test medium of 78 mg/l (calculated as geometric mean of the concentrations measured at the start and the end of the test).
In the control and at the nominal concentration of 100 mg/l (mean measured concentration of 78 mg/l), no immobilized test organisms were observed during the test period of 48 hours.
Therefore, the 48-h NOEC (highest concentration tested without toxic effects after the test period of 48 hours) and the 48-h EC0 of test item to Daphnia magna were determined to be at least 100 mg/l (mean measured 78 mg/l). The 48-h NOEC and the 48-h EC0 might even be higher, but higher concentrations of the test item could not be tested due to the limited solubility of the test item in the test water. The 48-h EC50 and EC100 were clearly higher than 100 mg/l (mean-measured 78 mg/l). These values could not be quantified due to the absence of toxicity of test item at the tested concentration.
Conclusion
EC50 (48h) > 78 mg/l (meas. geom. mean)

Additional information
The acute toxicity of the test item to Daphnia magna was determined in a 48-h static test, according to the OECD Guideline No. 202 (2004). The only nominal concentration tested was 100 mg/l and a control. In pre-experiments it was noticed that part of the test item precipitates in the test water during the test period, presumably due to formation of complexes with ions of the test water. Therefore, the hardness of the test water used in the main study was lowered to the minimum hardness of 140 mg/l (as CaCO3) recommended by the OECD test guideline to minimize precipitation of the test item.
At the start of the test, the measured concentration of the test item in the test medium was 82 % of the nominal concentration. At the end of the test, 74 % of the nominal concentration was found in the test medium. The slight decrease of the test item concentration in the test medium during the test period was caused by precipitation and sedimentation of a part of the test item. At the end of the test, a part of the test item lay at the bottom of the test vessels. Thus, the maximum solubility of the test item in the test medium under the test conditions was obviously exceeded.
In the control and at the nominal concentration of 100 mg/l (mean measured concentration of 78 mg/l), no immobilized test organisms were observed during the test period of 48 hours. Therefore, the 48-h NOEC was determined to be at least 100 mg/l (mean measured 78 mg/l). The 48-hour NOEC and the 48-h might even be higher, but higher concentrations of the test item could not be tested due to the limited solubility of the test item in the test water.
