Sampling and analysis
- Analytical monitoring:
- yes
- Details on sampling:
- Samples were taken from all test media including the control at the start of the test (without algae) and after 24, 48 and 72 hours of exposure (containing algae). For sampling at the start of the test the samples were taken from the freshly prepared single test solution as well as from the pure test water serving as control. For sampling at 24, 48 and 72 hours, the replicates per treatment were pooled prior to sampling. These samples were centrifuged at 4500 g for 10 minutes to separate the algae.
All samples were diluted with acetonitrile containing conc. 1% phosphoric acid to obtain a composition of sample:acetonitrile (9:1; v:v) containing 0.1% conc. phosphoric acid. Subsequently, the samples were stored deep-frozen (at about -20 °C) until analysis. In non-GLP preliminary experiments, the test item proved to be stable under these storage conditions.

- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION
The following test flasks were set up:
• Test solution: containing test water, test item and algae (six replicates)
• Control: containing test water and algae (six replicates)
Since the test item is soluble, the single test solution was prepared by adding 100 mg/l of test item to test water in sterile glassware and stirring it until dissolution. 100 ml of the resulting test media were added to the sterile test flasks and inoculated with an exponentially growing preculture of algae.
For the incubation, the test flasks were then placed on an orbital shaker at a nominal shaking speed of about 130 revolutions per min. The test flasks were repositioned daily during the exposure.

Since no relevant inhibitory effects were observed in the non-GLP range-finding test, the definitive test was performed as a limit test at a nominal concentration of 100 mg/l.
MEASURED CONCENTRATIONS
The concentrations of 4-NPP, di-TRIS in the test media were determined by HPLC with UV detection in the samples from the test start as well as in the samples after 24, 48 and 72 hours of exposure.
These analyses showed that the single test concentration was correctly dosed and remained within 80–120% of the nominal concentration over the duration of the test.
Therefore, the effective concentrations ECx were assessed based on the nominal concentration of the test item. - Details on test conditions:

- Temperature: 21 to 24°C, maintained at ± 2°C in a thermo-controlled room
- pH: Initially adjusted to 8.0±0.2; the pH of the control medium should not increase by more than 1.5 units during the test
- Test design: Static exposure conditions over a period of 72 h
- Initial cell density: Nominal density of 5,000 cells/ml in all test vessels.
RANGE FINDING STUDY
Prior to the definitive test a non-GLP range finding test (three replicates for the control and two replicates per test concentration) with nominal concentrations of 1, 10 and 100 mg/l test item was performed. No relevant inhibitory effects were observed in the non-GLP range-finding test.
EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED

Aliquots of 5 ml are sampled from each test flask. At test start (0 hours) the nominal value is applied. - Reference substance (positive control):
- yes
- Remarks:
- Control of sensitivity: Potassium dichromate is tested as a positive control twice a year.

- AVERAGE SPECIFIC GROWTH RATE
With respect to the endpoint average specific growth rate no significant effects (Student t-test, one-sided smaller, ¿ = 0.05) were observed at a nominal concentration of 100 mg/l 4-NPP, di-TRIS compared to the control.
The 72-hour EC50 based on average specific growth rate of Raphidocelis subcapitata was therefore estimated to be >100 mg/l, while the NOEC was determined to be 100 mg/l.
YIELD
With respect to the endpoint yield no significant effects (Student t-test, one-sided smaller, ¿ = 0.05) were observed at a nominal concentration of 100 mg/l 4-NPP, di-TRIS compared to the control.
The 72-hour EC50 based on yield of Raphidocelis subcapitata was therefore estimated to be >100 mg/l, while the NOEC was determined to be 100 mg/l.
OBSERVATIONS AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
The microscopic examination of the algal cells at the end of the test showed no abnormal appearance of the algae growing at the single test concentration of nominal 100 mg/l. The appearance of the algal cells was not affected by the test item up to at least this concentration.
No remarkable observations were made concerning the appearance of the test media.The pH value in the control replicates changed by 0.7 units. The light intensity was maintained at 5306 ± 6%. The temperature remained at 23 °C over the duration of the test. All values were within the guideline ranges - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- The result of the positive control test performed in July 2020 showed that the sensitivity of the test system based on average specific growth rate (72 h EC50 = 1.25 mg/l) was in line with a ring test yielding 1.19 mg/l, SD = 0.27 (ISO 8692:2012: Water quality - Fresh water algal growth inhibition test with unicellular green algae).
- Reported statistics and error estimates:
- The lowest observed effect concentration (LOEC) is the lowest concentration tested at which the substance is observed to have a statistically significant reducing effect on the respective endpoint (p < 0.05) when compared with the control within a stated exposure period. The LOEC values were determined using the software ToxRat® Pro. In case of no significant effects, the LOEC is not reported. The no observed effect concentration (NOEC) is the test concentration immediately below the LOEC.

- Executive summary:
The growth inhibitory effects of 4-NPP, di-TRIS (CAS no. 68189-42-4) to the green alga Raphidocelis subcapitata were investigated according to the OECD guideline 201 over a period of 72 hours.
The test item 4-NPP, di-TRIS is solid, 99.03% (w/w) pure and soluble in test water up to at least 100 mg/l. The single nominal concentration tested was 100 mg/l.
The concentrations of 4-NPP, di-TRIS in the test media were determined by HPLC with UV detection in the samples from the test start as well as in the samples after 24, 48 and 72 hours of exposure. These analyses showed that the single test concentration was correctly dosed and remained within 80–120% of the nominal concentration over the duration of the test. Therefore, the effective concentrations ECx were assessed based on the nominal concentration of the test item.
With respect to the endpoint average specific growth rate no significant effects were observed at a nominal concentration of 100 mg/l compared to the control.
With respect to the endpoint yield no significant effects were observed at a nominal concentration of 100 mg/l compared to the control.
