- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION:
- Method: Two combined limit/range-finding tests were performed. Preparation of test solutions started with a loading rate of 100 mg/L. In the 1st test, a one-day period of magnetic stirring was applied to ensure maximum dissolution of the test item in test medium. Stirring time in the 2nd test was reduced to 2 hours to assess whether there was a difference in effects as information became available after the 1st test that the test item degrades very quickly in water. The resulting dispersions were filtered through a 0.45 µm membrane filter (Whatman; RC55). The obtained Saturated Solutions (SS) were used as the highest test concentrations. Lower test concentrations were prepared by subsequent dilutions of the SS in test medium. All final test solutions were clear and colourless. After preparation, volumes of 50 mL were added to each replicate of the respective test concentration. Subsequently, 1 mL of an algal suspension was added to each replicate providing a cell density of 104 cells/mL.

Temperature values remained within acceptable limits throughout the duration of the study. The pH generally remained within the limits prescribed by the study plan (6.0-9.0, preferably not varying by more than 1.5 units). However, it should be noted that the pH measured in the highest test concentration at the end of the test had decreased below 6.0 in both tests without having a significant effect on algal growth. The reason for the pH shift was concluded to be related to the high instability of the test item in water. - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- - Results with reference substance valid? Yes
- ErC50: 1.0 mg/L, 95%CI: 0.97-1.0 mg/L
- EyC50: 0.43 mg/L, 95%CI: 0.42 - 0.44 mg/L
- Other: results fell within the historical range. - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- Statistical analysis was performed only on the control and the highest test concentration. An effect was considered to be significant if statistical analysis of the data obtained for the highest test concentration compared with those obtained in the negative control revealed significant inhibition of growth rate or inhibition of yield (Two-sample t-test Procedure, a=0.05, one-sided, smaller).
No EC10,50-values could be calculated because the test item proved to be non-toxic (EC50 > maximum concentration tested).
ToxRat Professional v 3.2.1 (ToxRat Solutions® GmbH, Germany) was used to perform the analyses.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Remarks:
- 1). In the control, cell density increased > 16 fold. 2). Mean CV for section-by-section specific growth rates in the control cultures < 35%. 3). CV of average specific growth rates during the whole test period in replicate control cultures < 7%.
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the present study with Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, no significant inhibition of growth rate or inhibition of yield was recorded at any of the concentrations of Carbaethoxyphthalimid tested.
Both the EC50 for growth rate inhibition (72h-ERC50) and the EC50 for yield inhibition (72h-EYC50) were above the limit of solubility (=100% SS), corresponding with an initial measured concentration of 1.59 mg/L that decreased within 24 hours below the LOD (<0.023 mg/L).
Both the 72h-NOEC for growth rate inhibition and the 72h-NOEC for yield inhibition were at or above the limit of solubility (=100% SS), corresponding with an initial measured concentration of 1.59 mg/L that decreased within 24 hours below the LOD (<0.023 mg/L).
Due to the very low solubility of Carbaethoxyphthalimid in test medium, concentration levels toxic for algae could not be reached. It was concluded that Carbaethoxyphthalimid did not affect growth of the fresh water algae species Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata up to the maximum soluble concentration in test medium. - Executive summary:
This study was performed to assess the effect of the test substance on the growth rate and yield of fresh water algae ( Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata ) after 72 hours of exposure. The study was conducted in accordance with OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals No. 201 and GLP under static conditions.
Two combined limit/range-finding test were performed. For each test, six exponentially growing algal cultures were exposed to an untreated control and the limit concentration, i.e. In addition, three replicates per group were exposed to 1.0 and 10 mg/L. The initial algal cell density was 104cells/mL. The total exposure period was 72 hours. Samples were taken and analysed at the start, after 24 and 72 hours of exposure. In the first test, no detectable test item concentrations were found at a detection limit of 0.019 mg/L. Analysis of the undissolved residue on the filter proved that the test substance was used during formulation. Hence, the solubility of the test item in test medium after one day of stirring was so low that quantification proved impossible. In the second test, a concentration of 1.59 mg/L was found at t=0.This concentration decreased below the LOD (<0.023 mg/L) within 24 hours of exposure. This concentration was expected to represent the maximum soluble concentration of Carbaethoxyphthalimid in test medium after 2 hours of stirring.
No significant inhibition of growth rate or inhibition of yield was recorded at any of the concentrations of test item tested. Both the EC50 for growth rate inhibition (72h-ERC50) and the EC50 for yield inhibition (72h-EYC50) were above the limit of solubility (=100% SS). This corresponds with an initially measured concentration of 1.59 mg/L that decreased within 24 hours below the LOD (<0.023 mg/L).
Both the 72h-NOEC for growth rate inhibition and the 72h-NOEC for yield inhibition were at or above the limit of solubility (=100% SS), corresponding with an initial measured concentration of 1.59 mg/L that decreased within 24 hours below the LOD (<0.023 mg/L).
Due to the very low solubility of the test item in test medium, concentration levels toxic for algae could not be reached. It was concluded that Carbaethoxyphthalimid did not affect growth of the fresh water algae species Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata up to the maximum soluble concentration in test medium.
