Sampling and analysis
- Analytical monitoring:
- yes
- Details on sampling:
- Samples of the test solutions were collected at approximately 0 and 72 hours to measure concentrations of the test substance. Samples at test initiation were collected from the individual batches of test solution prepared for each treatment and control group prior to distribution into the test chambers. At exposure termination, samples were collected from the pooled remaining replicates from each treatment and control group. At each sampling interval, 10.0 mL samples of test solution were collected in VOA vials in duplicate with one set of samples processed immediately for analysis and the other set of samples were stored under refrigerated conditions for potential future analysis. In addition, 5.0 mL of test solution was sampled into 4 ounce glass vessels containing 95 mL of DMSO. The day 0 samples were collected in the incorrect vials and could not be analyzed as the size of the vial was incompatible with the instrument. Samples could not be transferred without loss of the volatilized test material within the vials. The additional samples collected in DMSO were used for verification of exposure concentration on day 0.
Test solutions
- Vehicle:
- no
- Details on test solutions:
- Test solutions were prepared at target nominal concentrations 5.3, 11, 21, 43, and 85 mg/L by direct addition of calculated weights of 4-Bromo-3,3,4,4-Tetrafluorobut-1-ene to freshwater AAP with additional sodium bicarbonate in 4 L glass aspirator bottles which were filled leaving no headspace. The required mass of test substance for each treatment group was weighed in tared 3 mL syringes fitted with an 18 gauge needle. The calculated amounts of test substance were not adjusted for test substance purity. The test solutions were stirred with a Teflon® lined stir bar on a magnetic stir plate for approximately 30 minutes. The test solutions appeared clear and colorless and were otherwise unremarkable at the time of preparation. The negative control solution contained freshwater AAP medium with additional sodium bicarbonate only
Test organisms
- Test organisms (species):
- other: Raphidocelis subcapitata
- Details on test organisms:
- The freshwater alga, Raphidocelis subcapitata, was selected as the test species for this study. The species is representative of an important group of freshwater algae and was selected for use in the test based upon a past history of use, and ease of culturing in the laboratory. Original algal cultures were obtained from the University of Texas at Austin and have been maintained in culture medium at Eurofins, Easton, Maryland since June 2017. Algal cells used in this test were obtained from Eurofins-Easton cultures that had been actively growing in culture medium under the same environmental conditions as used in this test for at least two weeks prior to test initiation. Algal cells for this study were taken from a culture that had been transferred to fresh medium four days prior to test initiation.

- TEST SYSTEM
Test chambers were sterile, 300 mL glass bottles sealed with glass stoppers, and were completely filled, leaving minimal headspace. Each test chamber contained two glass marbles to promote mixing. Test chambers were labeled with the study number, test concentration and replicate, and were shaken continuously on mechanical shakers at approximately 100 rpm in an environmental chamber designed to maintain 24 ± 2°C throughout the exposure. Test chambers were indiscriminately positioned at test initiation, and indiscriminately re-positioned within the testing area after sampling each day during the 72-hour exposure. No Aeration.

TEST MEDIUM / WATER PARAMETERS
Stock nutrient solutions were prepared by adding reagent-grade chemicals to purified well water (NANOpure® water). The test medium was then prepared by adding appropriate volumes of the stock nutrient solutions to NANOpure® water. Additional sodium bicarbonate was (35 mg/L, for a total concentration of 50 mg/L) added to the test medium to facilitate testing in a closed-system. The pH of the medium was adjusted to 7.5 ± 0.1 with 10% hydrochloric acid, and the medium was sterilized by filtration (0.22 µm) prior to use.

- Reported statistics and error estimates:
- NOEC values were based on statistical comparisons (Dunnett’s test; p ≤ 0.05) between treatment and negative control data.
The 72 hour yield and growth rate data were evaluated for normality and homogeneity of variance (α = 0.01) using Shapiro-Wilk’s and Levene’s tests, respectively. All data met assumptions of normality and homogeneity of variance.
The calculation of cell densities, yield, growth rates and percent inhibition values, as well as all statistical analyses, were conducted using “The SAS System for Windows, Version 9.4” .

1 The initial cell density of the stock culture was determined and an inoculum volume was administered to each test chamber to yield a cell density of approximately 10,000 cells/mL at test initiation (0 hours). 2 Yield was calculated as the final biomass (cell density) in the exposure period minus the initial biomass (cell density). |

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:

- Remarks:
- Mean cell density in the negative control flasks increased by >16x. CoV of average specific growth rate was <7%. Mean %CoV for section-by-section specific growth rate was <35%. Refer to tables 5, 7 and 8 in 'any other information on results incl. tables'
- Conclusions:
- The freshwater alga, Raphidocelis subcapitata, was exposed to a geometric series of five treatment levels of 4-bromo-3,3,4,4-tetrafluorobut-1-ene ranging from 5.3 to 85 mg/L, based on nominal (1.9 to 71 mg/L, based on geometric mean), concentrations of 4-bromo-3,3,4,4-tetrafluorobut-1-ene. All control validity criteria were achieved. The measured concentrations of 4-bromo-3,3,4,4-tetrafluorobut-1-ene on Day 0 in the 5.3, 11, 21, 43, 85 mg/L treatment groups were 43.4, 45.1, 63.1, 67.8, and 103% of nominal, respectively. The measured concentrations of 4-bromo-3,3,4,4-tetrafluorobut-1-ene on Day 3 in the 5.3, 11, 21, 43, 85 mg/L treatment groups were 28.9, 33.2, 39.6, 36.0, and 68.2% of nominal, respectively. Toxicity of 4-bromo-3,3,4,4-tetrafluorobut-1-ene to R. subcapitata was assessed based on effects on cell density, growth rate, and yield relative to the negative control group. Because the test substance is volatile, rigorous precautions were taken to minimize losses through evaporation during the tests and collection and analysis of samples to avoid losses through volatilization. Despite the special handling and precautions, the measured concentrations resulted in concentrations well below the nominal concentrations, therefore nominal concentrations are more representative of exposure to the test system. The 72-hour measured EC50 values for cell density, growth rate, and yield were determined to be 19, 25, and 19 mg/L, respectively. The 72-hour nominal EC50 and EC10 value for growth rate were 53 and 18 mg/L, respectively. The 72-hour nominal NOEC was determined to be 11 mg/L.
