- Details on sampling:
- The test samples of the test item were analyzed for test item concentration at the start (0 hours) and for stability at the end of the treatment (72 hours) both during range finding study and limit test.
- Vehicle:
- no
- Details on test solutions:
- Stock solution was prepared in the OECD alga medium. Stock solution was prepared by weighing required quantity of test item in a beaker, to this small volume of OECD alga media was added and stirred well using a glass rod, after complete solubility, test formulation was transferred to measuring cylinder, the beaker was rinsed with OECD alga media and transferred again to measuring cylinder, rinsing process was repeated until the complete transfer of test contents. The required test concentrations were prepared by adding appropriate amount of stock solutions and make up to required volume using OECD alga medium. A homogeneous distribution of the test item within the stock solution was achieved by means of vortexing shortly before preparation of the test vessels.

- Executive summary:
The test item was assessed on Raphidocelis subcapitata for Growth Inhibition Test as per the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals Guideline No. 201. A range finding study was conducted with six concentrations of 0.01, 0.1, 1.0, 10.0, 50.0 and 100.0 mg/L along with control, each concentration contains 2 replicates except control possessing 3 replicates. The algal growth (cell density) was assessed at 24, 48 and 72 hours of post-exposure during the test. During the range finding study, exponentially growing cells were exposed to range of selected concentrations. The growth rate inhibition of maximal 0.53% was observed in the tested concentrations. Based on the results of range finding study, a limit test was conducted at the concentration of 100 mg/L along with control (each 6 replicates). The algal growth (cell density) was assessed at 24, 48 and 72 hours post-exposure. Exponentially growing alga cells were exposed to the limit concentration. A growth rate inhibition of 0.71% was observed in the tested concentration of 100 mg/L respectively as compared with the control. Similarly, inhibition in yield of 3.5% was observed in the tested concentration of 100 mg/L. The present alga growth inhibition study fulfills the validity criteria of the test. The test samples were analyzed for test item concentration at the start (0 hours) and for stability at the end of the treatment (72 hours) both during range finding study and limit test, and were found to be within the acceptable range of ± 20% recovery to the nominal concentrations. Therefore, the results are based on the nominal concentrations. From the experiment conducted under standard experimental conditions, the 72 hour ErC50 and ErC10 (growth rate) and EyC50 and EyC10 (yield) of the test item on Raphidocelis subcapitata is >100 mg/L. The 72 hours No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC) is 100 mg/L and the Lowest observed effect concentration (LOEC) is >100 mg/L.
