- Duplicate samples for analysis were taken from the control and the limit test loading rate at the start (t=0h), at t=24h (new and old solutions) and at the end of the test (t=48h). Concentration of Zirconium, a constituent of the test item, was checked in the control medium and the limit test loading rate. Zirconium analysis was not performed in compliance with the OECD GLP principles but in accordance with ISO 17025.
- Vehicle:
- yes
- Details on test solutions:
- The study was carried out using WAFs (Water Accommodated Fractions). The WAFs (for fresh media at t=0h and t=24h) were prepared under closed conditions and by slow-stirring.
The mixing vessels were 1-L cylindrical glass bottles sealed with screw caps and fitted with a drain port near the bottom for drawing off the WAFs. A magnetic stirring bar was placed in each mixing vessel and test water was added. The loading rates of the test item were weighed on weighing boats that afterwards were placed above each mixing vessel and rinsed with test water. The mixing vessels were then carefully filled with the remaining volume of test water to obtain 1.1 L of test medium in order to use a maximum volume and to minimise headspace. Then the mixing vessels were closed immediately. The mixing was initiated with the vortex in the centre extending maximally around 10% vessel depth from the top to the bottom of the vessel. After 24 +/- 2 hours of gentle stirring in the dark at room temperature, the WAFs were allowed to stand for at least 1 hour before use. The first 100 mL were discarded via the drain port. Then the WAFs were filtered and added into test vessels that were immediately sealed with screw caps after introduction of daphnids. No small bubble was observed in the test vessels. The test solution in test vessels was observed to be clear and colourless. The test was carried out without adjustment of the pH. - Test organisms (species):
- Daphnia magna
- Details on test organisms:
- Species: Daphnia magna (Straus), clone 5
Sex: Female
Origin: LIEBE - CNRS UMR 7146 - UFR SciFA - Université de Lorraine Campus Bridoux - Bât. IBISE, 8, rue du Général Delestraint - 57070 METZ, bred in the Laboratoires des Pyrénées et des Landes.
Reason for selection: Characteristic and common representative of freshwater zooplankton which has been selected as an internationally accepted invertebrate species.
Validity of batch: Daphnids originated from a healthy stock, showing no signs of stress such as mortality, presence of males, ephippia or discoloured animals.
Age at test start: < 24 hours old
Breeding conditions: Daphnids were cultured in the Laboratoires des Pyrénées et des Landes under similar temperature and light conditions as used in the test. The cultivation of the parental daphnids was performed in all-glass vessel containing test water. Cultures were maintained at a density of 1 adult daphnid per 25 mL of culture medium. Daphnids were fed at least three times a week with a suspension of algal cells (Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata) up to 0.1-0.2 mg C.Daphnia.-1day.-1. The water was changed three times a week. These culture conditions maintained the daphnids in the parthenogenetic reproductive stage. - Test type:

RANGE-FINDING STUDY
The range-finding test was carried out using WAFs (Water Accommodated Fractions) of the test item over a range of nominal loading rate of 1.0, 3.2, 10.0, 32.0 and 100.0 mg.L-1 and to a control. The WAFs (for fresh media at t=0h and t=24h) were prepared in the dark under closed conditions and by slow-stirring. No effect was observed. - Reference substance (positive control):
- yes
- Remarks:
- Potassium dichromate
- Duration:
- 48 h
- Dose descriptor:
- EL50
- Effect conc.:
- > 100 mg/L
- Nominal / measured:
- nominal
- Conc. based on:
- test mat.
- Basis for effect:
- mobility
- Details on results:
- After 24 and 48 hours of exposure, no immobilisation of the test animals was observed in the control and the loading rate of 100 mg.L-1, confirming the observations of the range-finding test.
Based on these results, the 24 and 48-hour EL50 values were therefore > 100 mg.L-1. - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- On March 8, 2018 (KD18-001; most recent test), the 24h-EC50 was 1.31 mg.L-1. Hence, the sensitivity of the clone of Daphnia magna was in agreement with OECD 202 (1) (expected 24h-EC50: 0.6 mg.L-1 to 2.1 mg.L-1) at this time.
- Reported statistics and error estimates:
- Not relevant, limit test.
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- Under the experimental conditions and based on nominal loading rates, the 48-hour EL50 was determined to be higher than 100 mg.L-1.
- Executive summary:
A study was performed to assess the acute toxicity of the test item SOCOGEL PART I toDaphnia magna. The followed method was designed to be compliant with OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals No. 202, “Daphnia sp., Acute Immobilisation Test”, referenced as Method C.2 of Commission Regulation No. 440/2008 (amended byCommission Regulation (EU) 2016/266) and with the “Guidance document on aquatic toxicity testing of difficult substances and mixtures” (OECD No. 23).
A limit test was performed following the results of a range-finding test. Twenty daphnids (four replicates, five daphnids per replicate) were exposed to Water Accommodated Fractions (WAFs) of the test item at a nominal loading rate of 100 mg test item.L-1and to a control.The immobilitisation of the daphnids was determined in a closed semi-static 48 -hour test by visual observation after 24 and 48 hours. Concentration of Zirconium (one of the main constituents of the test item) was checked in the control and the loading rate of 100 mg.L-1at start (t=0h), at t=24h (new and old solutions) and at the end of the test (t=48h).
Analytical results indicated that very few Zirconium was found throughout the test in the WAFs at 100 mg.L-1. However,it was considered that the concentration of the test item at 100mg.L-1did not vary throughout the study duration as it was renewed at t=24h.Therefore, and since the test item was a multi-constituent substance, the results were based on nominal loading rates. After 24 and 48 hours of exposure, no immobilisation of the test animals was observed in the control and the loading rate of 100 mg.L-1.
The toxic effect of test item SOCOGEL PART I to the freshwater invertebrate Daphnia magna was investigated in a closed semi-static limit test using Water Accommodated Fractions. Under the experimental conditions and based on nominal loading rates,the 48 -hour EL50was determined to be higher than 100 mg.L-1. Moreover, the highest nominal loading rate without observed effects value was determined to be at least 100 mg.L-1

Analytical results
Concentration of Zirconium (one of the main constituents of the test item) was checked in the control and the loading rate of 100 mg.L-1at start (t=0h), at t=24h (new and old solutions) and at the end of the test (t=48h).
Analytical results indicated that very few Zirconium was found throughout the test in the WAFs at 100 mg.L-1, which was unexpected given the analytical results obtained during the range-finding test, where Zr levels were much higher at the tested loading rates and after 48 hours. It was assumed that Zirconium from the test item sample was oxidised or eventually formed a precipitate since the first opening of the test item flask, and therefore was not easy to detect in this form with the analytical method.
In any case, it was considered that the concentration of the test item at 100mg.L-1did not vary throughout the study duration as it was renewed at t=24h. Moreover, despite the analytical results, the study was considered as valid given the results fromthe range-finding test which are consistent with the final test outcome, in agreement with the Study Monitor.Therefore, and since the test item was a multi-constituent substance, the results were based onnominalloading rates.

Water quality parameters and environmental conditions throughout the test:
pH and oxygen concentrations remained within the limits prescribed by the study plan (pH: 6.0-9.0, not varying by more than 1.5 units; oxygen:≥ 60% of the air-saturation valueat the end of the test), suggesting oxygen concentrations were not influenced by the test item; pH values were however lower in presence of test item, suggesting a slight test item effect on the pH of the test medium.
Furthermore, the temperature of the test medium was situated between 20.7 and 20.9°C throughout the test (average value: 20.8°C), and complied with the requirements as laid down in the study plan (20°C ± 2°C, constant within 1°C).

All these dissolved-oxygen concentrations correspond to values > 60% of the air-saturation value.
Validity criteria of the study
Controls: In the control, no daphnids became immobilised nor trapped at the surface of the water nor showed signs of stress.
Dissolved [02] Dissolved oxygen concentration at the end of the test was ≥ 60% of the air-saturation value in controls and test vessels.
Thus the validity criteria have been fulfilled in the present study.
