- Water temperature was recorded daily throughout the study. Dissolved oxygen concentrations and pH were recorded at the start and the termination of the study. Water samples were taken from the control and all the test groups (replicates pooled) at 0 and 48 hours and stored at -20°C until despatch to Butterworth Laboratories Limited for analysis of palladium content. Analysis was also carried out on the 10 and 100 mg/l stock solution used to prepare the test series. Moreover, water samples from the 0.010, 0.032, 0.10, 0.32 and 1.0 mg/l test groups were taken at 0 hours for the initial stability analysis and at 24 hours after storage at ambient temperature both in the light and the dark for the 24 hours stability analysis.
- Vehicle:
- no
- Details on test solutions:
- 100 mg of test material were dispersed in reconstituted water with the aid of ultrasonication and the volume adjusted to 1 litre to give a 100 mg/l stock solution. Serial dilutions were prepared form this to give further stock solutions of 10 and 1.0 mg/l. Aliquots (20, 36, 64, 112, 200, 360, 640 and 1120 ml) of this stock solution were each separately dispersed in reconstituted water and the volume adjusted to 2 litres to give the 0.010, 0.018, 0.032, 0.056, 0.10, 0.18, 0.32 and 0.56 mg/l test concentrations respectively.
- Test organisms (species):
- Daphnia magna
- Details on test organisms:
- TEST ORGANISM
- Common name: Water flea
- Source: Daphnia magna were maintained in a laboratory culture originating from a strain supplied by the Institut National de Recherche Chimique Appliquee (IRCHA), France
- Age at study initiation: 1st instar Daphnia magna
- Method of breeding: Culture conditions ensured that reproduction was by parthenogenesis. Gravid adults were isolated 24 hours prior to the initiation of the test, the young daphnids produced overnight were then removed for testing.
- Feeding during test: no feeding
ACCLIMATION
- Acclimation conditions (same as test or not): same as test
- Type and amount of food: suspension of mixed algae (predominantly Chlorella ssp.)
- Feeding frequency: daily - Test type:
- static
- Water media type:
- freshwater
- Limit test:
- no
- Total exposure duration:
- 48 h
- Hardness:
- 270 mg/l as CaCO3
- Test temperature:
- 21 °C
- pH:
- 8.0 to 8.1
- Dissolved oxygen:
- 7.2 to 7.9 mg/l
- Salinity:
- n/a
- Nominal and measured concentrations:
- Analysis of the test preparation at 0 and 48 hours was carried out. At 0 hours, analysis of the test preparations gave concentrations of 56% to 140% of nominal value. However, measured concentrations of the stock solutions used to prepare the test series at 0 hours were observed to be near nominal. After 48 hours a decline in measured concentrations was observed with values ranging from less than the limit of quantitation of the analytical method to 51% of nominal. These apparently variable results were not considered to reflect the true dosed concentrations. Given the variability of the results, it was considered justifiable to base the EC50 values on time weighted mean measured concentrations. The time weighted mean measured concentrations could not be calculated for the 0.010, 0.018 and 0.032 mg/l test groups due to analysis at 48 hours giving measured concentrations of less than the limit of quantitation of the analytical method.

OTHER TEST CONDITIONS
Photoperiod: 16 light :8 dark
EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED (with observation intervals if applicable)
Any immobilisation or adverse reactions to exposure were recorded at 24 and 48 hours after the start of the exposure. The criterion of effect used was that Daphnia were considered to be immobilised if they were unable to swim for approximately 15 seconds after gentle agitation.
TEST CONCENTRATIONS
A range-range finiding study was initially performed at 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10 and 100 mg/l test concentrations. The results showed no immobilisation at the test concentrations of 0.01 and 0.1 mg/l. However, immobilisation was observed at 1, 10 and 100 mg/l. Based on this information test concentrations of 0.010, 0.018, 0.032, 0.056, 0.10, 0.18, 0.32, 0.56 and 1 mg/l were selected for the definitive study. - Reference substance (positive control):

- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- In an OECD- and GLP-compliant study, the 48-hour EC50 determined for tetraamminepalladium(II) hydrogen carbonate was 0.13 mg/L (based on the time weighted average (TWA) measured concentrations).
- Executive summary:
Tetraamminepalladium(II) hydrogen carbonate was tested for acute toxicity towards Daphnia magna. The GLP compliant study followed OECD test method 202. In order to investigate the acute toxicity to Daphnia magna, any immobilisation or adverse reactions to exposure were recorded at 24 and 48 hours after the start of the exposure.
Following a preliminary range-finding study, twenty daphnids (2 replicates of 10 animals) were exposed to an aqueous dispersion of the test material at concentrations of 0.010, 0.018, 0.032, 0.056, 0.10, 0.18, 0.32, 0.56 and 1 mg/l for 48 hours under static test conditions. The 48-hour EC50 toDaphniabased on nominal test concentrations was 0.22 mg/l, with a 95% confidence limits of 0.20 - 0.25 mg/l; the NOEC was 10 mg/l. However, an analysis of the test preparations at 0 and 48 hours showed a high variability between nominal and measured concentrations. Hence, it was considered justifiable to base the EC50 values on the time weighted mean measured concentrations also. The 48-hour EC50 based on the time weighted mean measured concentrations was 0.13 mg/l with a 95% confidence limits of 0.11 - 0.14 mg/l. The NOEC was 0.06 mg/l. All the validity criteria are fulfilled.
The results are fully adequate for the assessment of this endpoint.

- Details on test solutions:
- Since the test item degrades in water very quickly (<1 hr) in the present test the hydrolysis products were tested, according to the guidance document on aquatic toxicity testing of difficult substances. Therefore, the test medium at a test concentration of 100 mg/L was prepared twice by suspending 50mg test item in 500ml test water and stirring for approx. 4hr in the dark at room temp. Thus, the main part of the test item was hydrolysis products. Then, the undissolved test item was separated by filtration (0.45um Cellulose Nitrate filter) and the pH value was adjusted to 7.8 with NaOH. The two filtrates were poured together and stirred for 5 mins. Adequate volumes of the filtrate were mixed with test water to obtain the required concentrations.
