- A 72 hour acute toxicity test of zinc sulphate heptahydrate was done as part of the positive control testing around the time of this test. The IC50 was 0.094 mg/L. This was within the control range, where range is twice the standard deviation.
- Reference test was run 7 days after the definitve test. - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- Nonlinear regression was used to determine the IL50/25 for specific growth rate and cell yield. THe statistical program CETIS (V 1.7.0.3) was used to calculate IL50/25 and their 95% confidence intervals in addtiion to the NOELR/LOELR values. The CETIS package ran a Shapiro-Wilk Normality test for normal distribution, a Mann-Kendall Trend to examine for significant trends in controls, a Grubbs Extreme Value test to look for outliers, a modified Levene Equality of Vaeience to determine euqal variances, and a Dunnetts Multiple Comparison Test on the stnadard groth rate and cell yield endpoints.
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Remarks:
- control biomass increase >16x (208x), CV for section-by-section g rowth rates <35% (26%), CV for average specific growth rates <7% (2.50%)
- Conclusions:
- 72 hour EL50 = 0.43 mg/L (nominal) in Pseudokichneriella subcapitata (OECD 201).
72 hour NOELR = 0.28 mg/L (nominal) in Pseudokichneriella subcapitata (OECD 201). - Executive summary:
The 72 hour EL50 to Pseudokichneriella subcapitata was determined in a definitive test according to OECD 201 guidelines. Nominal concentrations of 0.07, 0.14, 0.28, 0.56 and 1.12 mg/L, and a WAF control were run using 3 replicates per concentration (6 replicates for water and WAF controls) and no dispersant. An EL50 of 0.43 mg/L and a NOELR of 0.28 mg/L were determined. This study was conducted under international guidelines but is not GLP compliant. In addition, no analytical monitoring was conducted. Therefore, this study is considered reliable with restrictions. The result is considered suitable for use in Risk Assessment, Classification & Labeling, and PBT analysis.
