Description of key information
The acute toxicity of the test item to the freshwater fish rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) has been investigated and gave a 96-Hour LC50 of greater than 100% v/v saturated solution. The No Observed Effect Concentration was 100% v/v saturated solution.
This study showed that there were no toxic effects at saturation.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Introduction
A study was performed to assess the acute toxicity of the test item to rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). The method followed was designed to be compatible with the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals (1992) No 203, "Fish, Acute Toxicity Test" referenced as Method C.1 of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008.
Methods
Pre-study solubility work conducted indicated that it was not possible to obtain a testable solution of the test item using traditional methods of preparation e.g. ultrasonication and high shear mixing. It was therefore considered that the use of a saturated solution method of preparation was most appropriate for this test item.
Based on the results from an Acute Toxicity to Daphnia magna study and an Algal Growth Inhibition study (Sections 6.1.3 and 6.1.5 respectively) conducted using the test item, seven fish were exposed to an aqueous solution of the test item, at a single concentration of 100% v/v saturated solution for a period of 96 hours at a temperature of 14-16°C under semi-static test conditions. The test item solution was prepared by stirring an excess (50 mg/L) of test item in test medium using a propeller stirrer at approximately 1500 rpm for 24 hours. After the stirring period any undissolved test item was removed by filtration (0.2 μm Sartorius Sartopore filter, first approximate 1 liter discarded in order to pre-condition the filter) to produce a 100% v/v saturated solution of the test item. The number of mortalities and any sub-lethal effects of exposure in each test and control vessel were determined 3 and 6 hours after the start of exposure and then daily throughout the test until termination after 96 hours.
Results
The 96-Hour LC50based on nominal test concentrations was greater than 100% v/v saturated solution. The No Observed Effect Concentration was 100% v/v saturated solution.
Chemical analysis of the test preparations at 0 (fresh media), 24 and 96 hours (old media) showed measured test concentrations of less than the limit of quantitation (LOQ) of the analytical method employed were obtained which was determined to be 0.0010 mg titanium/L. This does not infer that no test item was in solution, merely any that was present was at a concentration of less than the LOQ.
This study showed that there were no toxic effects at saturation.
