Spacing factor determined from range-finding test and physico-chemical properties of the substance.
- Sampling method: Singular samples for possible analysis were taken from all test concentrations and the control according to the schedule:
1. At the start of the test 0-hours from the freshly prepared solutions.
2. The end of the test from the 48-hour old solutions, volume: 4.5 mL for controls, 0.5, 0.8 and 1.3 mg/L test item groups; 1.5 mL for 2.0 and 3.2 mg/L test item groups ; from the approximate centre of the test vessels.

- Details on test solutions:
- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
- Method: For the purpose of the definitive test, the test item was dispersed in acetone due to limited water solubility. Preparation of test solutions started with stock solutions in acetone at a factor of 10,000 higher than the final test solutions. Volumes of 100 μL were then added per litre ISO-medium to obtain the desired concentration. The highest concentration prepared during the range-finding test was then magnetically stirred for 40 minutes, while the two lower concentrations were stirred for 10 minutes after which the respective solutions were used for testing. Preparation during the final test included a magnetic stirring period of 30 minutes, which was followed by a stabilisation period of 20-30 minutes, except for the two lowest test concentrations that were fully dissolved. The water phase was collected in case a test substance film was observed after the stabilisation period. The final test solutions were all clear and colourless except the highest concentration tested in the range-finding test, which contained a thin floating layer. Test solutions were renewed after 24 hours during the final test.

Analysis of the samples taken at the start of the final test showed measured concentrations of 1.2, 1.7 and 1.8 mg/L at the nominal concentrations of 1.3, 2.0 and 3.2 mg/L, respectively. Measured concentrations in the freshly prepared solutions after 24 hours were comparable to those measured at the start, thus showing that preparation was repeatable. The measured concentrations remained generally stable within 20% during the 24-hour renewal periods, except for the highest concentration measured at the end of the test (77% of initial}. Measured concentrations at nominally 2.0 and 3.2 mg/L differed only marginally from each other, which indicated that the maximum soluble concentration was to be expected just below 2.0 mg/L. Based on the results of analysis the maximum solubility in test medium was approximately 1.5 mg/L.
- Effect concentrations exceeding solubility of substance in test medium: No. - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- - Results with reference substance valid?: Yes.
- Mortality: None. Acute immobilisation observed only.
- EC50/LC50: 24h-EC50 was 0.84 mg/L. 48h-EC50 was 0.661 mg/L with a 95% confidence interval between 0.54 and 0.87 mg/L
- Other: The actual responses in this reference test with K2Cr2O7 are within the ranges of the expected responses at the different concentrations, i.e. the 48h-EC50 was between 0.3 and 1.0 mg/L. Hence, the sensitivity of this batch of test organism was in agreement with the historical data.. - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The test item 48h-EC50 was > 1.5 mg/L (C.I: – mg/L), which corresponds to the maximum solubility of the test item, based on geometric mean measured average exposure concentrations that were analytically confirmed.
- Executive summary:
The acute toxicity to Daphnia magna was carried out according to OECD 202 Daphnia sp., Acute Immobilisation Test and EU Method C.2 guidelines under GLP. Following preliminary range finding test in the 0.5 to 5.0 mg/L nominal range using acetone dispersant to increase water solubility, no significant immobilisation was observed at 0.05 and 0.5 mg/L. A total of 90% of the daphnia became immobilised at 5.0 mg/L. lt should however be recognised that daphnia in the highest concentration were exposed to an over saturated solution as an oily test substance floating layer was present in which the immobilised daphnia were trapped. The EC50 was expected to be above the limit of solubility based on the observations during the range-finding test. An identically conducted definitive study was completed in 100 mL closed glass flasks under semi-static conditions. Preparation of test solutions started with stock solutions in acetone at a factor of 10,000 higher than the final test solutions. Volumes of 100 μL were then added per litre ISO-medium to obtain the desired concentration. The highest concentration prepared during the range-finding test was then magnetically stirred for 40 minutes, while the two lower concentrations were stirred for 10 minutes after which the respective solutions were used for testing. Preparation during the final test included a magnetic stirring period of 30 minutes, which was followed by a stabilisation period of 20-30 minutes, except for the two lowest test concentrations that were fully dissolved. The water phase was collected in case a test substance film was observed after the stabilisation period. The final test solutions were all clear and colourless except the highest concentration tested in the range-finding test, which contained a thin floating layer. Test solutions were renewed after 24 hours during the final test. The definitive test concentrations were 0 (control), 0.5, 0.8, 1.3, 2.0 and 3.2 mg/L nominal and average exposure concentrations of the three highest test concentrations: 0.97, 1.48, and 9.3 mg/L, respectively. Twenty daphnids per group (5 per replicate, quadruplicate) were exposed to an untreated control at the specified nominal test substance concentrations. All test solutions were renewed after 24 hours and samples for analytical confirmation of actual exposure concentrations were taken from freshly prepared solutions at the start and after 24 hours of exposure and from 24-hour old solutions after 24 and 48 hours of exposure. Analysis of the samples taken during the final test from the three highest concentrations showed that preparation was repeatable. Measured concentrations generally remained stable within 20% during the 24-hour renewal periods, except for the highest concentration measured at the end of the test. Based on the results of analysis the maximum solubility in test medium was approximately 1.5 mg/L. The study met the acceptability criteria prescribed by the protocol and was considered valid. The test item did not induce biologically significant immobilisation of Daphnia magna at a nominal concentration of 1.3 mg/L, corresponding to an average exposure concentration of 0.97 mg/L after 48 hours of exposure (NOEC). Significant immobilisation was observed at the two highest test concentrations: 15% at nominal 2.0mg/L (average exposure concentration of 1.48mg/L) and 25% at nominal 3.2mg/L (average exposure concentrations of 1.49 mg/L). The measured concentrations at nominally 2.0 and 3.2mg/L differed only marginally from each other, which indicated that the maximum solubility in test medium was approximately 1.5 mg/L. The 48h-EC50 was above the solubility limit of the test item in the test medium, i.e. above an average exposure concentration of 1.5 mg/L. Hence, due to the relatively low water solubility of the test substance, a 50% effect concentration could not be reached in the soluble range of the test item

Key data: OECD TG 202, 2004 : The acute toxicity to Daphnia magna was carried out according to OECD 202 Daphnia sp., Acute Immobilisation Test and EU Method C.2 guidelines under GLP.

Test solutions were renewed after 24 hours during the final test. The definitive test concentrations were 0 (control), 0.5, 0.8, 1.3, 2.0 and 3.2 mg/L nominal and average exposure concentrations of the three highest test concentrations: 0.97, 1.48, and 9.3 mg/L, respectively. Twenty daphnids per group (5 per replicate, quadruplicate) were exposed to an untreated control at the specified nominal test substance concentrations. All test solutions were renewed after 24 hours and samples for analytical confirmation of actual exposure concentrations were taken from freshly prepared solutions at the start and after 24 hours of exposure and from 24-hour old solutions after 24 and 48 hours of exposure.

The measured concentrations at nominally 2.0 and 3.2mg/L differed only marginally from each other, which indicated that the maximum solubility in test medium was approximately 1.5 mg/L. The 48h-EC50 was above the solubility limit of the test item in the test medium, i.e. above an average exposure concentration of 1.5 mg/L. Hence, due to the relatively low water solubility of the test substance, a 50% effect concentration could not be reached in the soluble range of the test item
