Details on test solutions:
PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)- Eluate (conc.): 100 mg/L- Controls: Potassium dichromate- Concentration of vehicle in test medium (stock solution and final test solution): The test substance was stirred in M4 medium for about 48 hours at 20 ± 2 0C. Undissolved test substance was removed by centrifugation (approximately 20 min at about 17700 G). The nominal concentration of the eluate was 100 mg/L. By diluting this eluate with M4 medium the following nominal concentrations were prepared: 0, 100, 50, 25, 12,5 mg/L

Results with reference substance (positive control):

Reported statistics and error estimates:
Test results allowed no statistical evaluation of the data.
Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Remarks:
In the control, Immobilization was ≤ 10 % and no daphnids were captured in a surface film; O2-concentration was > 3 mg/L in all tested replicates; pH-value in the test solutions did not vary within more than one unit.
Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, the 48 h EC50 of the test substance to Daphnia was > 100 mg/L (nominal). The 48 h EC0 was greater than or equal to 100 mg/L (nominal) and the 48 h EC100 was > 100 mg/L (nominal).
Executive summary:

A study was performed to assess the acute toxicity of the test substance to Daphnia magna according to OECD Guideline 202, EPA OPPTS 850.1010 and ISO 634115.

Daphnia magna (4 replicates of 5 animals/dose) were exposed to nominal concentratrions of the test substance (0, 12.5, 25, 50 and 100 mg/L) in M4 medium for 48 h in static test conditions at 20°C. Animals were observed for immobilisation after 0, 24 and 48 h. Potassium chromate was used as positive control. The EC50 (24 h) of the control substance was estimated to be 0.68 mg/L.

The test was performed without concentration analysis because the substance is rapidly hydrolysed.

Under the test conditions, the 48 h EC50 of the test substance to Daphnia was > 100 mg/L (nominal). The 48 h EC0 was greater than or equal to 100 mg/L (nominal) and the 48 h EC100 was > 100 mg/L (nominal).

Additional information

A study was performed to assess the acute toxicity of the test substance to Daphnia magna according to OECD Guideline 202, EPA OPPTS 850.1010 and ISO 634115.No analytical determination of dose levels was carried out as the substance hydrolyses rapidly. Results were presented based on nominal concentrations.The 48 h EC50 was > 100 mg/L (nominal). The 48 h EC0 was ≥ 100 mg/L (nominal) and the 48 h EC100 was > 100 mg/L (nominal).
