- 7.5 Test System and its Justification
Test system consisted of treated surface water in multiple glass vessels (conical flasks) of 250 mL capacity closed with glass stoppers. The test vessels were sterilized by autoclaving at 121ºC for 20 minutes before use to avoid microbial contamination. All test vessels were incubated in dark.
The test system was chosen to simulate degradation of the test item in surface water as per guideline requirement.
7.6 Test System Identification
Each test system was uniquely identified by study number, treatment, test item, tentative scheduled sampling time and other appropriate study identifiers.
7.7 Collection of Surface Water
The surface water was collected in a thoroughly cleansed container. The sampling site for collection of the surface water was selected ensuring that no known history of its contamination with the test item or its structural analogues within the previous four years considering the history of possible agricultural, industrial or domestic inputs. The pH and temperature of the water was measured at the site of collection. Furthermore, the depth of sampling and the appearance of the water sample (e.g. color and turbidity) was also noted. Oxygen concentration of the surface layer was measured in order to demonstrate aerobic conditions.
The test water was collected by the test facility on 15 September 2020.
7.8 Transportation of Surface Water
The water was transported to the test facility within 3 hours from collection. The water samples were not frozen.
7.9 Storage of Surface Water
The test water was stored about 4 to 6°C with aeration before use for a period not more than 4 weeks.
7.10 Preparation of Surface Water
The water sample was stored at about 4 to 6C with aeration until use. Prior to use, the coarse particles were removed by filtration through a 100 m mesh sieve. - Duration of test (contact time):

8.1.1 Properties of Test Water
The date of sample collection, depth of collection, appearance (e.g., colour and turbidity), temperature, oxygen concentration and pH were recorded. The location map of the collection site is presented in Figure 6. The test water sample was sent to Eurofins Analytical Services India Pvt.

A summary of characterization of test water is presented in Table 1.
8.1.2 Experimental Design
Details of the experimental design are provided in Table 2.
8.1.3 Test Item Solubility
With a targeted concentration of 0.1 g/mL with 1% methanol as co-solvent, the initial concentration of the test solution prepared in Milli-Q water was 0.0956 g/mL, and the concentration was found to be 0.0920 g/mL when the test solution was centrifuged.

8.2 Determination of YAPOX 2245 in Test water Samples
Analysis of 0 hr samples at 10 g/L (0.01 g/mL) and 100 g/L (0.1 g/mL) test concentrations demonstrated quantitative recovery of YAPOX 2245.
Following application of YAPOX 2245 to test water at 10 g/L, the average amount of YAPOX 2245 present was 84.5% and 2.9% at 0 hr and 168 hr, respectively.
Following application of YAPOX 2245 to test water at 100 g/L, the average amount of YAPOX 2245 present was 86.7% and 1.0% at 0 hr and 168 hr, respectively.
Following application of YAPOX 2245 to sterile test water at 100 g/L, the average amount of YAPOX 2245 present was 87.5% and 1.1% at 0 hr and 168 hr, respectively.
No metabolites were observed at this test concentration during the incubation period.
Based on the above results, YAPOX 2245 degrade rapidly in natural water and no metabolite was found in both unsterile and sterile test water samples treated at 1000 µg/L.
8.3 Validity of the Test
The percent recovery of aniline reference standard was 0.0% on day 14, indicated its degradation in the test water within the expected time interval of two weeks. Therefore, the validity of the test is acceptable. Results are presented in Table 9.
8.4 Identification of Metabolites
All test water samples were initially analyzed by reverse phase HPLC with on-line radiochemical detector. During HPLC analysis, the test item in test water were assigned by comparing the retention time of that of authentic standard (Figure 11). No metabolite was found the samples analysed up to 7 days by HPLC. An effort was made to identify YAPOX 2245 and metabolites (if any) in all samples till day 7 by LC-MS.
Representative HPLC chromatograms along with reference standard are presented in Figure 10 through Figure 17.
