- Method: A stock solution with a concentration of 100.0 mg/L (nominal) was prepared with direct addition of the test item, mixed into the algal growth medium (OECD Medium), then distributed into the appropriate test flasks. As a Limit test was carried out, further dilution of stock solution was not performed.
The test solution was prepared just before introduction of the algae (start of the experiment). - Test organisms (species):

TEST CONCENTRATIONS
- Range finding study
- Test concentrations: 0.1, 1, 10, 100 mg/L
- Results used to determine the conditions for the definitive study: Because no toxic effect was observed during the preliminary concentration range-finding test, only one test concentration of the test item in the test medium (100 mg/L nominal loading rate) and one control group were tested in a Limit Test.- Reference substance (positive control):

- Details on results:
- Morphological deviations of the algal cells:
There were no observed morphological deviations during the experiment.
Average specific growth rates:
The results of the statistical evaluation (based on 2 Sample t-Test; α=0.05) show that the 0-72 h average specific growth rate was not statistically significantly different from the untreated control value.
Areas under the growth curves:
The results of the statistical evaluation (based on 2 Sample t-Test; α=0.05) show that the 0-72 h areas were not statistically significantly different from the untreated control value.
Yield:
The results of the statistical evaluation (based on 2 Sample t-Test; α=0.05) show that the 0-72 h yield was not statistically significantly different from the untreated control value.- Results with reference substance (positive control):
- 72h EC50 for growth rate is 0.89 mg/L, for biomass is 0.61 mg/L, for yield is 0.53 mg/L.
These results are within the acceptable range (ErC50-value: 0.60 mg/L to 1.03 mg/L, EbC50-value: 0.20 mg/L to 0.75 mg/L according to the ISO Guideline No. 8692) hence this reference study shows that the acute immobilisation test on Raphidocelis subcapitata is valid in this laboratory.- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The 72h-EC50 of test item to Green Algae is determined as > 100 mg/L, NOEC = 100 mg/L.
- Executive summary:
The effect of test item was assessed on algal growth using the unicellular green alga Raphidocelis subcapitata, over an exposure period of 72 hours.
Because a toxic response was not observed during the preliminary concentration range-finding test, a Limit Test was carried out using only one test concentration of 100.0 mg/L (nominal) and one control group.Under the conditions of this algal growth inhibition test the calculated endpoints for the effect of test item were the following: 72h ErC50, EbC50, EyC50 > 100 mg/L, NOEC = 100 mg/L.
