- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- In view of the difficulties associated with the evaluation of aquatic toxicity of poorly water soluble materials, a modification of the standard method for the preparation of aqueous media was performed. An approach endorsed by several regulatory authorities (ECETOC, OECD) is to expose organisms to a saturated solution of the test material in cases where the test material is of high purity and poorly soluble in water and in the permitted auxiliary solvents and surfactants. Using this approach, a saturated solution was prepared by stirring an excess (100 mg/L) of test material in dechlorinated tap water for 24 hours and then removing the undissolved test material by filtration through a pre-conditioned filter (0.2 µm) to give a 100% v/v saturated solution.

- There was no immobilisation in 20 daphnids exposed to a test concentration of 100% v/v saturated solution for a period of 48 hours. Inspection of the immobilisation data gave the following results:
Time (h) EC50 (% v/v saturated solution) 95% confidence limits (% v/v saturated solution)
24 > 100 -
48 > 100 -
The NOEC after 24 and 48 hours exposure was > 100% v/v saturated solution based upon zero immobilisation at this concentration.
The test concentration of 100% v/v saturated solution was the highest attainable test concentration that could be prepared due to the limited solubility of the test material in water. - Results with reference substance (positive control):

- Executive summary:
Introduction.
A study was performed to assess the acute toxicity of the test material to Daphnia magna.The method followed that described in the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals (April 2004) No 202,“Daphnia sp, Acute Immobilisation Test” referenced as Method C.2 of Commission Directive 92/69/EEC (which constitutes Annex V of Council Directive 67/548/EEC), US Code of Federal Regulations, Title 40, Part 797, Section 1300 and US EPA Draft Ecological Effects Test Guidelines OPPTS 850.1010.
Methods.
Following a preliminary range-finding test, twenty daphnids (4 replicates of 5 animals) were exposed to a saturated solution of the test material for 48 hours at a temperature of approximately 21°C under static test conditions. The test material solution was prepared by stirring an excess (100 mg/l) of test material via a propeller stirrer in reconstituted water at approximately 1500 rpm at a temperature of 21°C for 24 hours prior to removing any undissolved test material by filtration (0.2 µm Sartopore filter, first approximate 1 litre discarded in order to pre-condition the filter) to produce a saturated solution. Immobilisation and any adverse reactions to exposure were recorded after 24 and 48 hours.
Results.
The 48-Hour EC50 for the test material to Daphnia magna based on nominal test concentrations was greater than 100% v/v saturated solution and correspondingly the No Observed Effect Concentration was 100% v/v saturated solution. Analysis of the test preparations at 0 and 48 hours showed the measured concentrations to be less than the limit of quantitation of the analytical method. This does not infer that no test material was in solution but that the dissolved concentration (i.e. bioavailable to the test organisms) was below the limit of quantitation which was assessed down to 0.0045 mg/l.
This study showed that there were no toxic effects at saturation.
