The freshwater algal growth inhibition test was carried out on Desmodesmus subspicatus with the substance. Test conducted in accordance to OECD Guideline 201. The solution 100 mg/L was prepared by dissolving white powder in OECD growth medium. A limit test at sample concentration of 100 mg/L was performed. Effects on the growth rate of the organism were studied. The test was performed under static conditions in a static fresh water system at a temperature of 23± 2°C. Initial cell density of test organism used was 5x1000 cells/ml. Determination of cell counting involve the use of electronic particle counter. The median effective concentration (EC50) for the test substance in a freshwater algae Desmodesmus subspicatus was determined to be >100 mg/L on the basis of effects on growth rate in a 72 hour study. After the exposure period of 72 hrs, only 0.5 % inhibition were observed on algae. Thus on the basis of this EC50 value and according to the CLP Criteria for aquatic classification of the substance, it is concluded that test chemical does not exhibit toxicity to aquatic algae.

Additional information
Based on the effects observation on growth rate inhibition of algae by the chemical exposure, studies were reviewed from various experimental sources for test chemical were studied and mention as below:
In the first experimental report toxicity were studied. The freshwater algal growth inhibition test was carried out on Desmodesmus subspicatus with the substance. Test conducted in accordance to OECD Guideline 201. The solution 100 mg/L was prepared by dissolving white powder in OECD growth medium. A limit test at sample concentration of 100 mg/L was performed. Effects on the growth rate of the organism were studied. The test was performed under static conditions in a static fresh water system at a temperature of 23± 2°C. Initial cell density of test organism used was 5x1000 cells/ml. Determination of cell counting involve the use of electronic particle counter. The median effective concentration (EC50) for the test substance in a freshwater algae Desmodesmus subspicatus was determined to be >100 mg/L on the basis of effects on growth rate in a 72 hour study. After the exposure period of 72 hrs, only 0.5 % inhibition were observed on algae. Thus on the basis of this EC50 value and according to the CLP Criteria for aquatic classification of the substance, it is concluded that test chemical does not exhibit toxicity to aquatic algae.
Similarly in the second study from secondary sources (1991) a phytotoxicity test was performed to determine the effect of test chemical on the marine alga Skeletonema costatum. Cultures were incubated at 20 degrees Celsius (°C) under approximately 2,000 lux illumination. Culture were exposed to 500 & 1000 mg/l (ppm) concentration of test chemical. Concentrations for the definitive test were based on the results of a 96-hour range-finding test. Concentrations of test chemical ≤ 1000 mg/L did not appear to adversely affect the growth of Skeletonema costatum. After 96 h of exposure, increase of in vivo chlorophyll a was 8% in cultures exposed to 500ppm and 14% in those exposed to 1000 mg/l. Cell numbers in cultures exposed to 500 mg/l increased 4% while cultures exposed 1000 mg/l were similar to the control. Thus, the no observed effect concentration (NOEC) of test chemical on the marine alga Skeletonema costatum on a growth rate effect was considered to be ≤ 1000 mg/L in a 96 hour study.
Thus based on the both studies experimental data from report and secondary source, it was concluded that the chemical was nontoxic and not classified as per the CLP classification criteria.
