Sampling and analysis

Analytical monitoring:

yes

Details on sampling:

- Concentrations: negative control (0 mg/L), 10, 18, 32, 56, and 100 mg/L
- Volume: 3.6 mL for the regular samples and 1.8 mL for quality control (QC) samples
- Sampling method: Duplicate samples for analysis, and reserve samples, were taken from each concentration before transfer to the replicate test vessels for the initial (T = 0 hours) samples. Two extra samples were taken from the 32 mg/L concentration for analytical QC, and two reserve QC samples were also taken. At test completion (T = 48 hours) test solutions were not pooled, due to the volatility of MTDID 49220, and duplicate samples were taken from at least one individual replicate.
- Sample storage conditions before analysis: Samples were stored in a freezer (≤ -15°C) until analysis at the analytical laboratory of the test facility.

Test solutions

Details on test solutions:

PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION
- Method: The batch of MTDID 49220 tested was a clear yellow liquid with a purity of 99.2% and was completely soluble in test medium at the concentrations tested. Preparation of the test solutions started with the highest concentration of 100 mg/L, applying a short period of magnetic stirring to accelerate dissolution of the test item in medium. The pH was adjusted from 9.3 - 9.5 to 8.0 - 8.5 with 1M HCl in all tests. The lower concentrations were prepared by subsequent dilutions of the highest concentration in test medium.
- Controls: Test medium without test substance or other additives
- Evidence of undissolved material (e.g. precipitate, surface film, etc.): none, test solutions were clear and colorless at the end of the preparation procedure.

Test organisms

Test organisms (species):

Daphnia magna

Details on test organisms:

TEST ORGANISM
- Common name: Water flea
- Strain/clone: Daphnia magna (Straus, 1820), at least third generation, obtained by a cyclical parthenogenesis under specified breeding conditions.
- Source: In-house laboratory culture with a known history
- Age of parental stock: > 2 weeks to < 4 weeks
- Age at study initiation: < 24 hrs
- Feeding during test: No
- Culturing: Adult daphnids were cultured in M7 medium (adjusted ISO medium plus trace elements, micronutrients, and vitamins). Adult daphnids in the cultures were held for at least 14 days, and were not more than 4 weeks old prior to collection of the juveniles for testing. During the period preceding the test, water temperatures were 18 - 22°C. Daphnids in the cultures were fed daily a suspension of freshwater algae. The adults were fed prior to test initiation, but neonates were not fed during the test.
- Health: Daphnids originated from a healthy stock, 2nd to 5th brood, showing no signs of stress such as mortality >20%, presence of males, ephippia or discoloured animals and there was no delay in the production of the first brood.

Details on results:

Test was conducted twice since the result of the first test indicated MTDID 49220 to be less toxic than indicated by the range finding test.
See Tables 3, 4 for detailed results.

Results with reference substance (positive control):

- Results with reference substance valid? Yes

- ECx: 48-hr EC50 = 0.33 mg/L (95% CI, 0.29 mg/L to 0.38 mg/L)
- Other: The sensitivity of Daphnia magna originating from the batch used in this test, for potassium dichromate fell within the expected range of sensitivity observed during previous years (n > 60; 48-hr EC50 between 0.3 and 1.0 mg/L.) The reference substance test was conducted within one month prior to initiation of the testing of MTDID 49220.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:

yes

Remarks:

Control immobilization was < 10% at the end of the test. The dissolved oxygen concentration was ≥ 3 mg/L in the control and test vessels at the end of the test.

Conclusions:

The 48-hour EC50 (immobilization) of MTDID 49220 to Daphnia magna exceeded 100 mg/L. The test was conducted according to OECD TG 202.

Executive summary:

The 48-hour EC50 of MTDID 49220 to Daphnia magna was examined in a static test conducted according to OECD TG 202. Two tests were conducted in which test solutions were prepared as the control (0 mg/L), and at concentrations of 10, 18, 32, 56 and 100 mg/L (nominal). Nominal concentrations were verified with analysis. No immobilization of daphnids was observed in the controls. At 48 hours, 10% immobilization was observed at 100 mg/L in the first test, and 40% immobilization was observed at 100 mg/L in the second test. Thus, the 48-hour EC50 was > 100 mg/L for MTDID with Daphnia magna. The test was conducted according to internationally accepted test guidelines and was GLP compliant. It is reliable without restriction and suitable for Risk Assessment, Classification and Labeling, and PBT Analysis.
