- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION
- Method: The test substance (20 mg) was dispersed in OECD medium (2 L) in a volumetric flask. The contents of the flask were shaken vigorously before being made up to volume and then used directly at the highest test concentration (10 mg/L) or further diluted to provide the test media at the remaining lower concentrations of 0.427, 0.939, 2.07 and 4.55 mg/L.

TEST CONCENTRATIONS
- Results used to determine the conditions for the definitive study:
The study comprised of two range finding tests, an analytical trial and a definitive test, which employed five test concentrations, plus a dilution medium control group.
In the first range finding test, AOI was dissolved in dimethyl formamide (DMF) before its addition to inoculated OECD medium and employed nominal concentrations of 0.1, 1 and 10 mg/L. After 72 hours, algal growth was substantially inhibited at 10 mg/L and showed significant growth at 0.1 and 1 mg/l. On this occasion of analysis, the result obtained for the procedural recovery sample was acceptable (92%) so the results of analysis for test samples have been quoted; they confirmed that AOI was very unstable in water, with measured levels of between 43 and 68% of nominal approximately 30 minutes after AOI was added to water. An analytical trial was performed at 10 mg/L to estimate the rate at which AOI degraded to AOID after its addition (as a solvent spike) to OECD medium. Analysis of samples of the test medium, taken approximately one, 24 and 72 hours after dosing, gave estimated measured AOID levels of between 1.74 and 2.04 mg/l. These results confirmed that AOI was very unstable in water and that it was not possible to achieve or maintain the exposure concentration of the parent material. In terms of AOID, these results verified that a stable level of the degradation product was formed within approximately one hour of adding AOI to OECD medium.
Following a review of the data, the results of the first range finding test where the algae had been placed in the test vessels before the test substance was added, were considered unrealistic because of the highly unstable nature of AOI following its addition to OECD medium. Consequently, it was decided to follow the guidance given in OECD Monograph Number 23 for the testing of unstable compounds. As the test substance had a half-life of
less than one hour, the test substance was allowed to degrade after its addition to water before the algae were added.
The second range finding test was conducted without the use of a solvent at 1 and 10 mg/L and the algae were added to OECD medium approximately one hour after the test substance was formulated in OECD medium. After 72 hours, however, similar results were obtained to those in the first test, with growth at 1 mg/L and substantial inhibition at 10 mg/L. Based on this result, the definitive test was conducted at nominal concentrations of 0.427, 0.939, 2.07, 4.55 and 10 mg/l. No attempts were made to minimise the time between adding the test substance to OECD medium and the exposure of the test organism because AOI was known to react rapidly when added to water. The time between addition of the test substance to OECD medium and the addition of the algal cells was approximately two hours. - Reference substance (positive control):

Any other information on results incl. tables
After 72 hours of exposure to AOI, the EbC50 and ErC50, respectively were 2.78 and 7.58 mg/L. The “no observed effect concentration” (NOEC) for area under the growth curve was not identified in the definitive test (<0.427 mg/L) and for growth rate was 0.939 mg/L.
