Details on test organisms:

The test organism was the species Daphnia magna. The daphnids were bred in the laboratories of the Textile Dyes Division, Product Ecology TF under standardized conditions. For the test, animals with age of less than 24 hours were used. The quality of the daphnids will be checked at least every 3 months by determining the EC50 values (24 h) for potassium dichromate (range: 0.8 -1.5 mg/l).
For each concentration, 20 daphnids were used.

mobility

Details on results:

The reported results are related to the analytical concentrations of the test article. During test duration the test article concentrations in the analysed test media were in the range of 99.0 -100.7 % of the nominal values. Therefore under the test conditions the test article was sufficiently stable.

In the control and in the test concentrations up to 100 mg/l, no immobilization of the daphnids was observed after 48 hours. Therefore, the EC0 value is 100 mg/l. The EC50 and EC100 values are clearly higher than 179.4 mg/l.

Executive summary:

The acute toxicity of FAT - 92348/A to Daphnia magna was determined in a 48-hour static test according to the OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals, Section 2, No. 202, adapted 4 April 84, and EEC Directive 84/449, L 251, Part C 2.

The test was performed in compliance with the Good Laboratory Practice Regulations.

The nominal concentrations tested were 58, 100 and 180 mg test article/L, and a control without any additions.

The reported results are related to the analytical concentrations of the test article. During test duration the test article concentrations in the analysed test media were in the range of 99.0 -100.7 % of the nominal values.

Therefore, under test conditions the test article was sufficiently stable. In all test concentrations no alteration of the test substance after 48 h was observed.

In the control and in the test concentrations up to 100 mg/l no immobilization of the daphnids was observed after 48 hours. The EC0 value is 100.0 mg/l. At the test concentration 180 mg/l, 6 out of 20 Daphnids were immobilised. Hence, the EC50 and EC100 values are clearly higher than 180 mg/l.

Therefore, the EC50 could not be calculated.

Results :

EC0 >100.0 mg/l

EC50 >180 mg/l

EC100 >180 mg/l

Additional information

In the key study, the acute toxicity of FAT 92348/A to Daphnia magna was determined in a 48-hour static test according to the OECD Guideline and GLP. The nominal concentrations tested were 58, 100 and 180 mg test article/L, and a control without any additions. The reported results are related to the analytical concentrations of the test article. During test duration the test article concentrations in the analysed test media were in the range of 99.0 -100.7 % of the nominal values. Therefore, under test conditions the test article was sufficiently stable. In all test concentrations no alteration of the test substance after 48 h was observed.

In the control and in the test concentrations up to 100 mg/l no immobilization of the daphnids was observed after 48 hours. The EC0 value is 100.0 mg/l. At the test concentration 180 mg/l, 6 out of 20 Daphnids were immobilised. Hence, the EC50 and EC100 values are clearly higher than 180 mg/l.

The test substance is also covered by the read-across of FAT 40007. Hence, data of this substance can be used to cover this endpoint.

Source substance FAT 40007/B was tested for its toxicity to Daphnia magna. The test was rperformed according to OECD test guideline 202 and in compliance with GLP principles. FAT 40007/B was tested for its toxicity to Daphnia magna in a 24 hr static test. The daphnia were exposed to the test substance in 50 ml beakers containing 20 ml test medium per 10 animals. During exposure, the animals were kept at 20 °C with 16-hrs of illumination. All tests were done in duplicates. Test concentrations were 62.5. 125, 250, 500 and 1000 mg/l. After 24 hrs the effect as immobility was observed and the effect concentration noted. The validity of the test was proven by determining the immobilization of the control animals tested under the same conditions. The immobility recorded with control, 62.5 and 125 mg/l concentrations was 0, 5 and 0%, respectively. Daphnids exposed to 250, 500 and 1000 mg/l test concentrations had 5, 40 and 100% immobility. Hence, using LOGIT analysis, following results were obtained:

EC0: 247.0 mg/L

EC50: 512.3 mg/L

EC100: 1062.7 mg/L

24 hr EC50 value calculated with LOGIT model with 95 % confidence limit is 500.3 mg/L.
