Toxicity to aquatic algae and cyanobacteria
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- toxicity to aquatic algae and cyanobacteria
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 16 to 19 October 2012
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: This is a GLP Guideline study. All the validity criteria were met. Analytical test material characterization and quantification was included in the study report.
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- OECD Guideline 201 (Alga, Growth Inhibition Test)
- Deviations:
- no
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- BADGE-IPD (#33) possesses multiple secondary amines and potentially has cationic properties. The testing regime followed OECD (2000) guidance with respect to testing such substances and the test solutions were amended with either 0 or 10 mg/L humic acid. Humic acid is commonly used when testing cationic substances because the dissolved organic carbon binds with cationic chemicals, neutralizes the charges, reduces toxicity and makes cationic chemicals less bioavailable.
- GLP compliance:
- yes
- Analytical monitoring:
- yes
- Details on sampling:
- Because BADGE IPD (#33) is a multi-component substance of limited solubility, WAFs were created and analyzed via non-purgable organic carbon (NPOC) and all values reported are nominal. This method is outlined in the OECD guidance (No. 23) on Aquatic Testing of Difficult Substances and Mixtures. NPOC was measured in test solutions at test initiation and termination.
- Vehicle:
- no
- Details on test solutions:
- A preliminary non-GLP trial indicated that a dosing (loading rate) of 100 mg BADGE-IPD (#33)/L required 24 hours of stirring to reach an equilibrium in water-soluble components (i.e., a change of <20% measured dissolved organic carbon concentrations between two sampling points); therefore, the WAF preparations for all test solutions were stirred for approximately 24 hours prior to test initiation.
- Test organisms (species):
- Raphidocelis subcapitata (previous names: Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, Selenastrum capricornutum)
- Details on test organisms:
- The algal inoculum for the test was prepared from a 4-day old stock culture for both the test without humic acid and the test with 10 mg humic acid/L. Enough of the inoculum was used to achieve an initial cell density of approximately 10,000 cells/mL.

- yes
- Executive summary:
The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of BADGE-IPD (#33) to the freshwater green alga, Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, over a 72-hour static exposure period. These data were used to determine EL50 (the loading rate causing 50% inhibition) values for 72 - hour cell density, 0-72-hour cell yield, and average specific growth rate from 0 to 72 hours.
When possible, NOELR (no-observable-effect loading rate, the highest loading rate not significantly different from the controls) values were determined. BADGE-IPD (#33) has low aqueous solubility and therefore test solutions were prepared from a water
accomodated fraction (WAF). BADGE-IPD (#33) possesses cationic properties and was, therefore, tested in line with the OECD (2000) recommendation for testing cationic properties for the mitigating effect of humic acid. The results of the test are as follows:
Without Humic Acid
72 hour cell density EL50 = 0.967 mg/L; NOELR = Not calculable
0-72-hour cell yield EyL50 = 0.972 mg/L; NOELR = Not calculable
0-72 hour growth inhibition EL50 = 1.67 mg/L; NOELR = Not calculable
With 10 mg Humic Acid/L
72 hour cell density EL50 = 11.3 mg/L; NOELR = 3.1 mg/L
0-72-hour cell yield EyL50 = 11.1 mg/L; NOELR = 3.1 mg/L
0-72 hour growth inhibition ErL50 = 79.4 mg/L; NOELR = 3.1 mg/L
For the test run without humic acid, a NOELR could not be reported because the repsonse for each endpoint was non-monotonic.
Reference
The addition of 10 mg humic acid/L reduced the toxicity of BADGE-IPD (#33) for each of the endpoints examined between 11- and 47-fold. In line with the recommendation by relevant guidelines (OECD, 2000 and USEPA, 2010) the results observed in the exposure
amended with humic acid are predicted to be more more environmentally realistic and, therefore, relevant in determining the potential effect of the test material in the environment.
