Details on sampling:
The test item concentration of 1,3-Butanediol dimethacrylate were analytically verified in 3 intervals during the test via GC-MS in fresh media at the start of the exposure-renewal intervals on days 0, 9, 14 (0 hours) and in the old media at the end of the exposure intervals on days 2, 12, 16 (48 and 72 hours, respectively) in all concentration levels (with surviving daphnids) and in the control.
Vehicle:
no
Details on test solutions:
An appropriate amount of the test item was weighed out and transferred into a measuring flask with an appropriate amount of dilution water. The stock solution was stirred for 30 minutes (1100 rpm, room temperature) with a magnetic stirrer. The stock solution was used for the preparation of the test concentrations by dilution with the dilution water.
Test organisms (species):
Daphnia magna
Details on test organisms:
TEST ORGANISM
- Common name: water flea
- Strain/clone: Daphnia magna STRAUS (Clone 5)
- Justification for species other than prescribed by test guideline: Daphnia magna is the preferred species in accordance with the test guideline and is bred at the test facility
- Source: Institut für Wasser-, Boden- und Lufthygiene (WaBoLu)
- Age of parental stock (mean and range, SD): <24 h old daphnids were used for the study. To achieve this, juvenile daphnids were removed from the culture vessels at the latest 24 hours before the start of the exposure and discarded.
- Feeding during test
The culture daphnids were fed at least 5 times per week ad libitum with a mix of unicellular green algae, e.g. Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata and Desmodesmus subspicatus. The algae are cultured at the test facility.

Nomales and ephippiawere observed in the control or in the test groups.

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
The effects on reproduction were evaluated based on the reproduction per introduced parent animal, since this parameter is the ecologically most relevant response variable and is required by the OECD test guideline 211 (2012), when a significant trend in mortality is detected.
A summary of the assessed effect levels based on the time-weighted mean measured concentrations of the test item 1,3-Butanediol dimethacrylate is given above.
The overall effect threshold for effects of the test item under the test conditions was 6.26 mg/L (NOEC) and 13.8 mg/L (LOEC) based on the time-weighted mean measured concentrations of the test item 1,3-Butanediol dimethacrylate.
Executive summary:

Daphnia magna reproduction test (semi-static, 21 d) of the test item1,3-Butanediol dimethacrylate was carried out under semi-static conditions with a medium renewal three times per week. Nominal concentrations of the test item 1,3-Butanediol dimethacrylate were selected based on the results of a preliminary range finding test (non-GLP) as follows: 3.42 - 7.51 - 16.5 - 36.4 - 80.0  mg/L (separation factor 2.2) which corresponds to the time-weighted mean measured test item concentrations of: 2.81 – 6.26 – 13.8 – 31.6 – 74.6 mg/L.


The effects on reproduction were evaluated based on the reproduction per female parent animal inserted at the start of the exposure. The Step-down Cochran-Armitage test revealed a significant trend in mortality. Thus, according to OECD 211 it is required to report the effect values for the cumulative offspring per survived parent provided these values are lower than in the cumulative offspring per introduced parent.


The 21 day LC50 based on mortality was 48.6mg/L. The 21 day EC50 based on reproductive effects was 17.1 mg/L. The 21 day EC10 based on reproduction was 9.87 mg/L (95 % CI. 9.5 – 10.2 mg/L). The 21-day NOEC based on reproduction was 6.26 mg/L.


The sublethal effects included were intrinsic rate of the natural increase, the number of broods with living juveniles, first appearance of living juveniles, body length and dry weight of the parental daphnids. Production of offspring in the treated groups indicated that 1,3-BDDMA had an effect on the reproduction at concentrations greater than 6.26 mg/L. The most sensitive end point was the reduction of the reproductive output.

Additional information

The effects on reproduction were evaluated based on the reproductionper female parent animal inserted at the start of the exposure. The Step-down Cochran-Armitage test revealed a significant trend in mortality. Thus, according to OECD 211 it is required to report the effect values for the cumulative offspring per survived parent provided these values are lower than in the cumulative offspring per introduced parent.

The 21 day LC50 based on mortality was 48.6mg/L. The 21 day EC50 based on reproductive effects was 17.1 mg/L. The 21 day EC10 based on reproduction was 9.87 mg/L (95 % CI. 9.5 – 10.2 mg/L). The 21-day NOEC based on reproduction was 6.26 mg/L. The most sensitive end point was the reduction of the reproductive output.
