- Executive summary:
An acute aquatic toxicity study with Daphnia magna was conducted on test item according to OECD guideline 202, following GLP. A preliminary range finding study was conducted with test concentrations of 0.0 (control), 0.01, 0.1, 1.0, 10.0 and 100.0 mg/L for a period of 48 h with 60 daphnids, divided into six groups of 10 daphnids per group. Based on no mortalities found in this preliminary study, the main test was restricted to limit study conducted with single test concentration of 100.0 mg/L. Reconstituted water (ISO test water) was used as test medium. In the previous solubility study the test item was found to be soluble in reconstituted water so no vehicle was used for the study. The main test was conducted with test concentrations of 0.0 (control) and 100.0 mg/L for a period of 48 h in static conditions in 4 replicates of 5 daphnids per replicate. The test solutions were not aerated during the exposure. A validated analytical method based on ICP-OES was used to monitor the concentration and stability of the active ingredient in the test solution at 0 and 48 h of the main study. The active ingredient concentration in the test solution was within acceptable limit (> 80% of nominal concentration). All validity criteria were fulfilled. No immobilisation and no abnormal behavioural symptoms were observed over the period of 48 h at the test concentration of 100.0 mg/L as well as in the control group. Thus, EC50 (48 h), NOEC and LOEC to Daphnia magna of the test substance were found to be greater than 100.0 mg/L.

Based on no mortalities found in this preliminary study, the main test was restricted to limit study conducted with single test concentration of 100.0 mg/L. Reconstituted water (ISO test water) was used as test medium. In the previous solubility study the test item was found to be soluble in reconstituted water so no vehicle was used for the study. The main test was conducted with test concentrations of 0.0 (control) and 100.0 mg/L for a period of 48 h in static conditions in 4 replicates of 5 daphnids per replicate. The test solutions were not aerated during the exposure. A validated analytical method based on ICP-OES was used to monitor the concentration and stability of the active ingredient in the test solution at 0 and 48 h of the main study. The active ingredient concentration in the test solution was within acceptable limit (> 80% of nominal concentration). All validity criteria were fulfilled. No immobilisation and no abnormal behavioural symptoms were observed over the period of 48 h at the test concentration of 100.0 mg/L as well as in the control group. Thus, EC50 (48 h), NOEC and LOEC to Daphnia magna of the test substance were found to be greater than 100.0 mg/L.
