Analytical monitoring:

yes

Details on sampling:

- Concentrations: Control and 10 mg/L test solutions
- Sampling method: During the test, with the test samples, procedural recovery sample with concentration of 1.0 mg/L was analysed. the recovery samples were prepared by direct addition of the stock solution to test water.
- Sample storage conditions before analysis: Not reported

Vehicle:

yes

Remarks:

water

Details on preparation and application of test substrate:

- Method of application to filter paper (if used): Matrix of qualitative filter paper (diameter 18cm) in five layer.

Exposure solution was prepared by adding a measured weight of 0.03007 g of test item to a glass bottle and then 1 liter of water was added in. After mixing with ultrasonication (12 min) the bottle was filled with water to get a final solution of 3 liter and put onto the magnetic stirrer and stirred for about 22 hours. The solution was then filtered by 0.45 µm filter membrane and used for the test.

Details on results:

SEED GERMINATION
- Percent seed germination: At the end of the test, over 65 % of the control seeds germinated
- Root length: At the end of the test, control roots were longer than 20 mm

Reported statistics and error estimates:

Two tailed T-tests were conducted for each test species to determine wether significant inhibited/enhanced root growth (p<0.05) appeared in the test group compared to the control.

Validity criteria fulfilled:

yes

Remarks:

> 65 % of the control seed germinated at the end of the test

Conclusions:

The EC50 for seed germination and root elongation of the test material to Lolium perenne (Ryegrass), Triticum Aestivum (Common wheat), Medicago sativa (Alfalfa), Vignaradiate (Mung bean), Oryza sativa L. (rice), Cucumis sativus (cucumber), Zea mays (corn), Lycopersicon esculentum (tomato), Glycine max (soybean) and brassica rapa (Canola) was greater than 1.399 mg7L (initial measured concentration).

Executive summary:

The effect of the test material on seed germination and root elongation of c Lolium perenne (Ryegrass), Triticum Aestivum (Common wheat), Medicago sativa (Alfalfa), Vignaradiate (Mung bean), Oryza sativa L. (rice), Cucumis sativus (cucumber), Zea mays (corn), Lycopersicon escule ntum (tomato), Glycine max (soybean) and brassica rapa (Canola) was determined. Seedlings were exposed to initial measured concentrations of 1.399 mg/L, alongside a blank control. Each replicate contained 10 seeds and 3 replicate was tested for each treatment. The EC50 for seed germination and root elongation of the test material was greater than 1.399 mg/L for all plant species tested. This study is considered to be reliable with restrictions (Klimisch 2) as it was conducted according to SEPA HJ/T 153-2004.
