Storage condition - The test sample was stored in a dark storage place at room temperature.
Identification and stability of test item under the storage condition - The infrared (IR) spectrum of the test item measured at this laboratory was confirmed to be identical to that provided by the sponsor. The stability of the test item was confumed by comparing the IR spectrum of the test item after the completion of the experiment in a storage condition with that before the start ofthe experiment. - Analytical monitoring:

- yes
- Details on test solutions:
- Required amount of test sample melted in water bath set to 40°C was taken out and added to a preparation container. Then the test sample was remelted in water bath set to 40°C and daubed onto bottom of the preparation container with a magnetic stirrer. Medium were added in the preparation container to prepare 100 mg/L (nominal), and they were stirred with a magnetic stirrer for 48 hours. After cease of stirring, the suspension was filtered with a membrane filter (GV, 0.22 pm pore size, Millipore) by suction. The filtrate was used as test solution and divided into each test vessel.

The objective of this study was to determine the toxicity of the test substance to the freshwater green alga (Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata) during a 72-hour exposure period.
The green alga (Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata) was exposed to five nominal WAF loading rates and a negative control (culture medium) under static conditions for 72 hours. Six replicate test chambers in the control group and treatment group were maintained. Due to the low solubility of the test substance, test solutions were prepared as water accommodated fractions (WAFs) and test concentrations are based upon the loading rate for each test solution. This study was conducted as a limit test in order to estimate the effect on the test organisms at around the solubility of the test item in medium. Test sample and medium were mixed to prepare 100 mg/L (nominal), and they were stirred for 48 hours. After settling, suspension was filtered with a membrane filter to prepare the test solution. The concentration of Test substance in test solution was also analysed at the start of exposure, 24 and 48 hours after the start of exposure, and the end of exposure by LC-MS/MS analysis.
The toxicity of Substance to green alga (Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata) was determined by evaluating changes in cell density over a 72-hour exposure period. Cell densities were used to calculate growth rates at 24-hour interval of exposure and yield at 72 hours of exposure.
This test achieved all validity criteria specified in the study protocol which was based on the OECD 201 guideline.
The algal growth of the exposure level was same as control level. The results of the cell observation showed that cells in control were normal, and cells in the exposure level were the same as control.
The measured concentration of the test item with 100 mg/L (nominal) was 0.054 mg/L. As a result of the statistical analysis of the growth rate, a significant difference was not found. By the results in statistical analysis and cell observation, the ErC50 and NOEC of the Test Substance based on growth rate was estimated at > 100 mg/L (nominal) (Measured >0.054 mg/L).
