- Based on the growth rate inhibition of algae Desmodesmus subspicatus (previous name: Scenedesmus subspicatus) due to the exposure of chemical Fast Green FCF the EC50 was determine to be 62.9 mg/L.
- Executive summary:
Aim of this study was to evaluate the nature of chemical test chemical when comes in contact with the test organism Desmodesmus subspicatus (previous name: Scenedesmus subspicatus). Test was conducted according to the OECD guideline 201. The test solution 160 mg/l was prepared by dissolving green powder in OECD growth medium. Effects on the growth rate of the organism were studied (Changable). Various concentration were used.
With the test substance one positive control Potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) was also run simultaneously. After the exposure of chemical, effect concentration EC50 was calculated using nonlinear regression by the software Prism 4.0. Effect on the growth of algae was determine after an exposure period of 72 hrs.
The median effective concentration (EC50) for the test substance Fast Green FCF, in algae was determined to be 62.9 mg/L on the basis of growth rate inhibition effects in a 72 hour study. Based on the EC50 value, indicates that the substance is likely to be hazardous/ non-hazardous to aquatic algae and can be be classified as aquatic hronic 3 category as per the CLP criteria.
