Combined Limit/Range-Finding Test:
The project started with a combined limit/range-finding test. Twenty daphnids per concentration (four replicates, 5 daphnids per vessel) were exposed to a control and a saturated solution prepared at a loading rate of 100 mg/L. Test procedure and conditions were similar to those applied in the final test with the following exceptions:
1.) Ten daphnids per concentration (in duplicate, 5 per vessel) were exposed to solutions containing 1.0 and 10% of the SS prepared at a loading rate of 100 mg/L in the combined range-finding test.
2.) Dissolved oxygen concentrations and pH were only measured in the control and the highest test concentration.
Final test:
Number of daphnids : 20 per concentration
Loading: 5 per vessel containing 50 mL of test solution.
Light: A daily photoperiod of 16 hours.
Feeding: No feeding
Aeration: No aeration of the test solutions was applied.
Introduction of daphnids: 23 minutes after preparation of the test solutions.
Measurements and Recordings:
Immobility (including mortality): At 24 hours and at 48 hours.
pH and dissolved oxygen: At the beginning and at the end of the test, for all concentrations and the control.
Temperature of medium: Continuously in a temperature control vessel, beginning at the start of the test. - Reference substance (positive control):

- Combined Limit/Range-Finding Test:
Table 1 shows the responses recorded during the combined limit/range-finding test.
No immobility was observed in the control and the two lowest test concentrations throughout the test. At the highest test concentration, all daphnids were immobile after 24 hours of exposure and onwards.
Based on these results, samples taken from solutions containing 10 and 100% of the SS prepared at a loading rate of 100 mg/L were analysed. The measured concentrations were 5.0 and 47 mg/L, respectively, at the start of the test. These concentrations decreased to 21-26% of the initial concentrations after 48 hours of exposure (see also Table 2 of the appended Analytical Report).
All test conditions were maintained within the limits prescribed by the study plan.
Final Test:
Measured Test Item Concentrations:
The results of analysis of the samples taken during the final test are described in Table 3 of the appended Analytical Report.
Samples taken from all test concentrations were analysed. At the start of the test, the measured concentrations were 8.5, 15, 25, 54 and 92 mg/L in solutions containing 10, 18, 32, 56 and 100% of the SS, respectively. After 48 hours of exposure, 16-29% of the initial concentrations were measured.
It should be noted that a concentration of 0.050 mg/L was originally measured in the sample of the 56 mg/L test group at the end of the test, which was significantly below of what could be expected based on the concentration profiles of the other test solutions. No reason could be identified for this and it was decided to analyse the corresponding reserve sample to confirm the result. The concentration detected in the reserve sample was 8.8 mg/L and thus at the level of what was expected. It was subsequently concluded that the original result was erroneous and the result of the reserve sample was used for the further interpreptation of the test results.
Based on these results, the average exposure concentrations were calculated and used to express effect parameters (see Table 2).
Immobility:
Table 3 shows the responses recorded during the final test.
No immobility was observed in the control and the lowest test concentration throughout the exposure period. A dose-related increase of immobilization was observed at the four highest test concentrations, resulting in 100% immobility at the highest test concentration after 24 hours and onwards.
The responses recorded in this test allowed for reliable determination of an EC50 and were in agreement with what was expected based on the results of the combined limit/range-finding test.
Determination of Effect Concentrations:
Table 4 shows the effect parameters based on average exposure concentrations, see also Appendix 1.
Experimental Conditions:
The results of measurement of pH and oxygen concentrations (mg/L) are presented in Table 5. These test conditions remained within the limits prescribed by the study plan (pH: 6 9, not varying by more than 1.5 units; oxygen: 3 mg/L at the end of the test).
The temperature continuously measured in a temperature control vessel varied between 19 and 20°C during the test, and complied with the requirements as laid down in the study plan (18 22°C, constant within ±1°C). - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- See table 4
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- In conclusion, the 48h-EC50 for Daphnia magna exposed to Hexyl Propionate was 14 mg/L based on average exposure concentrations (95% confidence interval between 8.0 and 24 mg/L).
- Executive summary:
The objective of the study was to evaluate Hexyl Propionate for its ability to generate acute toxic effects on the mobility ofDaphnia magnaduring an exposure period of 48 hours and, if possible, to determine the EC50 at 24 and 48 hours of exposure.
The study procedures described in this report were based on the OECD guideline No. 202, 2004.In addition, procedures were based on the test methods described in the OECD series on testing and assessment number 23, 2000.
The batch of Hexyl Propionate tested was a clear colourless liquid with a purity of 99.54% and not completely soluble in test medium at the loading rate initially prepared.
A Saturated Solution (SS) was prepared at a loading rate of 100 mg/L and used as the highest concentration. Lower concentrations were prepared by diluting the highest concentration in test medium.
A final test was performed based on the results of a preceding combined limit/range-finding test. Twenty daphnids per group (5 per replicate, quadruplicate) were exposed to an untreated control and to solutions containing10, 18, 32, 56 and 100% of the SS prepared at a loading rate of 100 mg/L. The total exposure period was 48 hours and samples for analytical confirmation of exposure concentrations were taken at the start and at the end of the test.
Samples taken from all test concentrations were analysed.At the start of the test, the measured concentrations were 8.5, 15, 25, 54 and 92 mg/L in solutions containing 10, 18, 32, 56 and 100% of the SS, respectively. After 48 hours of exposure, 16-29% of the initial concentrations were measured.
No immobility was observed in the control and the lowest test concentration throughout the exposure period. A dose-related increase of immobilization was observed at the four highest test concentrations, resulting in 100% immobility at the highest test concentration after 24 hours and onwards. Based on these results, the average exposure concentrations were calculated and used to express effect parameters.
The study met the acceptability criteria prescribed by the study plan and was considered valid.
In conclusion, the 48h-EC50 for Daphnia magna exposed to Hexyl Propionate was 14 mg/L based on average exposure concentrations (95% confidence interval between 8.0 and 24 mg/L).
