Test solutions were prepared at the highest concentration of 100 mg/L applying approximately 1 hour of magnetic stirring to accelerate dissolution of the test item in medium. Lower test concentrations were prepared by subsequent dilutions of the highest concentration in test medium. All test solutions were clear and colorless at the end of the preparation procedure.
- Controls: Test medium without test item or other additives

Test organisms

Test organisms (species):
Daphnia magna

Remarks on result:
other: 95% confidence interval: 57-81 mg/L
Details on results:
- Behavioural abnormalities: none observed in the Control group.
- Mortality of control: none
- No immobility was observed in the control and at concentrations of 4.6, 10 and 46 mg/L throughout the test. At concentrations of 22 and 100 mg/L, 15 and 85% effects were observed, respectively, at the end of the test. See Table 2 in 'Any other information on results' for full details on immobility.
- All water quality parameters remained within the requirements as laid down in the study plan throughout the test.
Results with reference substance (positive control):
- Results with reference substance valid? Yes
- The 24h-EC50 was 0.59 mg/L with a 95% confidence interval between 0.52 and 0.68 mg/L.
- The 48h-EC50 was 0.41 mg/L with a 95% confidence interval between 0.34 and 0.46 mg/L.
- The responses in this reference test with K2Cr2O7 are within the ranges of the expected responses at the different concentrations, i.e. the 48h-EC50 was between 0.3 and 1.0 mg/L. Hence, the sensitivity of this batch of D. magna was in agreement with the historical data collected at the Test Facility.
Reported statistics and error estimates:
The 48h-EC50 was calculated using the Spearman-Karber method (without trim) on the percentages of affected daphnids and the logarithms of the corresponding test item concentrations.
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:
See 'Overall remarks' for details on validity criteria.
Conclusions:
The 48h-EC50 for Daphnia magna exposed to the test item was 68 mg/L based on nominal concentrations (95% confidence interval between 57 and 81 mg/L).
Executive summary:

In a 48 h acute toxicity test conducted according to OECD guideline 202, Daphnia magna were exposed to the test item at nominal concentrations of 4.6, 10, 22, 46 and 100 mg/L and an untreated control (all with 4 replicates per concentration and 5 daphnids per replicate). Measured concentrations were at 100-106% relative to nominal throughout the test. Therefore, effect parameters were based on nominal concentrations. No immobility was observed in the control and at concentrations of 4.6, 10 and 46 mg/L throughout the test. At concentrations of 22 and 100 mg/L, 15 and 85% effects were observed, respectively, at the end of the test. The 48 -hEC50 for immobility was 68 mg/L (95% confidence interval 57 -81 mg/L). The study is considered to be reliable without restrictions.
