Long-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- long-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates
- Type of information:
- read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 19-Mar-2003 to 9-Apr-2003
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: see 'Remark'
- Remarks:
- The study was given a reliability rating of 1 because it followed a standard test guideline, which describes a procedure to evaluate this endpoint, and the results were reviewed for reliability and assessed as valid. The study was also conducted under GLP.
- Justification for type of information:
- A discussion and report on the read across strategy is given as an attachment in IUCLID Section 13.
- Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
- read-across: supporting information
- Qualifier:
- equivalent or similar to guideline
- Guideline:
- OECD Guideline 211 (Daphnia magna Reproduction Test)
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Followed Part 2 of OECD 202 test guideline.
- GLP compliance:
- yes
- Analytical monitoring:
- yes
- Details on sampling:
- Samples were removed from the Control and test concentrations 1000, 2500, 5000, and 10000 mg/l at test initiation (0-hours) and at 48-hours of the preliminary test. Samples were also removed from the control and 2500 and 5000 mg/l concentrations on Day 0, 7, 14, and 20 of the main study. Samples were stored at -18deg C until analysis.
- Vehicle:
- no
- Details on test solutions:
- Test solutions were prepared as Water Accommodated Fractions (WAF). The test substance was added to daphnia media, and stirred for 23 hours with a magnetic stirrer until equilibrium. The mixing was done at a slow enough speed as to not cause dispersion or emulsification of the undissolved test substance. The solution was allowed to stand for approximately 1 hour, to allow phase separation, before being carefully siphoned out via a glass tube (added prior to the addition of the test substance). Renewal of the test WAF was conducted every 48 hours.
