- Details on test solutions:
- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
- Method:
Due to an expected low water solubility of the test substance, Water Accommodated Fractions (WAFs) were prepared individually. The primary stock solution (100 mg/L) was initially observed to be clear and colorless with visible, oily, particulates on the surface of the solution and visible undissolved test substance throughout the water column. The solution was covered with plastic wrap and allowed to mix slowly overnight using a magnetic stir plate and Teflon-coated stir bar. Following overnight mixing and an approximately 15-minute settling period, the solution was observed to be clear and colorless with visible, oily, particulates on the surface of the solution.
Exposure solutions were mixed for approximately one minute using a magnetic stir plate and Teflon-coated stir bar and were observed to be clear and colorless with no visible undissolved test substance following preparation. Control vessels were maintained under the same conditions as the treatment level solution.
Details are included in section on any other information on materials and methods incl. tables.
- Chemical name of vehicle (organic solvent, emulsifier or dispersant): no vehicle used
- Evidence of undissolved material (e.g. precipitate, surface film, etc.): The water-accommodated fraction (WAF) was then siphoned from the beaker, avoiding the surface and bottom of the vessel, and was observed to be clear and colorless with no visible undissolved test substance.

Test solutions without algae are used to examine the stability of the substance during the test period. Measured concentrations of the test solutions without algae after 72-h were only 50% of the nominal concentrations. In the presence of the algae clearly even lower concentrations were measured (decline by > 80%). The substance is not rapidly biodegradable, nor does it hydrolyse, indicating that the observed decrease was probably due to adsorption to glass vessels and/or algae or metabolisation by the algal biomass. Amounts of the test substance sorbed to the algae and/or to the walls of the glass containers might have been the cause for the large decrease in test concentrations during the test duration of the study and was considered in the interpretation of the results. Therefore, the results are also expressed in terms of nominal concentrations. - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- The results was within the expected range for Raphidocelis subcapitata; therefore, the culture is considered of appopriate health and sensitivity for use in toxicity testing.
- Reference Substance: Zinc chloride (ZnCl2)
- Duration: 72 hours
- Date Performed: 10 to 13 July 2018
- EC50: 0.083 mg Zn/L, with a 95% confidence interval of 0.078 to 0.088 mg Zn/L (historical mean = 0.088 mg Zn/L, March 2005 to present) - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- Prior to NOEC and LOEC determinations, the data were first checked for normality using Shapiro-Wilk’s Test and for homogeneity of variance using Bartlett's Test. If the data sets passed the tests for homogeneity and normality, then a parametric statistical test, e.g., Dunnett’s Multiple Comparison Test was used to determine the NOEC and LOEC. If the data did not pass the tests for homogeneity and normality, then the NOEC and LOEC were determined using an appropriate non-parametric statistical test, e.g., Dunn’s Test with Bonferroni-Holm’s Adjustment. All statistical determinations were made at the 95% level of certainty, except in the case of Shapiro-Wilk’s and Bartlett's Tests, where the 99% level of certainty was applied.
If possible, EC10, EC20, EC50 values were calculated using a nonlinear regression model. The test concentrations bracketed the EC values so that the EC value came from interpolation rather than an extrapolation. The EC10, EC20,EC50 values were estimated so that (i) the 95% confidence limits reported for the EC value did not contain zero and was not overly wide, (ii) the 95% confidence interval for the predicted mean at the EC10, EC20, or EC50 value did not contain the control mean and (iii) there was no significant lack-of-fit of regression model to the data. If no concentration resulted in a 10, 20, or 50% reduction, the EC values were empirically estimated to be greater than the highest concentration tested. CETIS Version 1.8 (Ives, 2013) was used to perform all statistical calculations. These analyses followed the procedures described in the document, Current Approaches in the Statistical Analysis of Ecotoxicity Data: A Guidance to Application (OECD, 2006) and the OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals No. 201, Freshwater Alga and Cyanobacteria, Growth Inhibition Test (OECD, 2011).

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The objective of this study was to determine the effect of the test item on the growth of the freshwater green alga, Raphidocelis subcapitata under static conditions. The testing was performed according to the OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals. Freshwater Alga and Cyanobacteria, Growth Inhibition Test. Guideline 201.
During the test a decrease of the concentration is observed of > 80%. The decrease observed could be assigned to sorption or other processes. As this may also occur under environmental conditions the nominal concentration is considered as the concentration to be used for the dose effect assesment. It is considered realistic to relate the observed effects to the nominal values. The 72-h ErC50 based on nominal values was between 32 and 80 µg/L (0032-0.08 mg/L). The 72-h NOErC based on nominal values is 13 µg/L (0.013 mg/L).
