2) A 35 mg/L solution of the test substance was added in diluted water to prepare the required amount of test solution at the nominal concentration.
3) A control group containing only diluted water was provided.
4) A dispersant control group having the maximum concentration (100 mg/L) of the dispersant used was provided.
5) Four test vessels were prepared for each concentration group, and 100 mL of the test solution was placed in each test vessel.
6) The state (appearance, etc.) of the test solution was observed, and it was confirmed that it was colorless and transparent and that there was no precipitation. - Test organisms (species):
- Daphnia magna
- Details on test organisms:
- The test used juvenile Daphnia magna (Daphnia magna) within the age of 24 hours. This species is obtained from the National Institute for Environmental Studies and is subcultured in our research department. In addition, as a result of an acute swimming inhibition test using a reference substance (potassium dichromate, special grade reagent), EiC50 for 48 hours. It was 0.87 mg/L.
Female adults of macroscopically healthy and sufficiently large size with juveniles were selected from those in the passage and transferred to a separately prepared beaker, and the juveniles produced the next day were separated into separate beakers. This juvenile was used as the parent of the test Daphnia and was acclimated for 28 days under the following conditions. After maturity and larval birth, the larvae were removed at least twice a week. The larvae were removed the day before the start of exposure, and the larvae produced the next day (within 24 hours) were used for the test. There were few dead individuals, and no dormant eggs or males were produced.

- Executive summary:
This test is based on the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals No. It was conducted in accordance with 202 “ Daphnia, Swimming Inhibition Test and Reproductive Test” (1984)”. Acute immobilization test for Daphnia magna in N-Cyclohexyl-2 benzothiazolylsulphenamide is performed. 50% immobilization inhibitory concentration (Eic50) and maximum no-effect concentration (NOECi) at 24 and 48 hours are determined
under semi-static exposure conditions. After measuring the temperature of the test solution, the residual oxygen concentration (DO), and the pH, the test Daphnia was added, and the time point was set as the start of exposure. The test Daphnia was put in using a pipettor with a thick tip. At that time, the total amount of breeding water for Pipetta Ichihaku should be within 1% of the test water volume. It was bred for up to 48 hours. The number of Daphnia swimming inhibitors was observed 24 and 48 hours after the start of exposure. If the test vessel could not be swam for 15 seconds after being gently moved, it was considered to be inhibited swimming (however, swimming means swimming in water, and those crawling on the bottom of the water were included in the inhibition. If swimming in water even once every 15 seconds, even if it was not normal swimming, it was not included in the inhibition). Water temperature, DO, and pH were measured at the start of exposure and 48 hours after the test solution in all concentration groups (however, one test container each). As a result of conducting a preliminary test prior to this test, the 48-hour and half-swimming inhibition concentration (48hr-Eic50) was 0.47 mg/L. As a result of conducting a preliminary test prior to this test, the 48-hour and half-swimming inhibition concentration (48hr-Eic50) was 0.47 mg/L. With reference to this result, the concentration ratio is 2.0. Six levels of concentration were prepared. (Nominal concentration: 0.11 mg/L, 0.22 mg/L, 0.44 mg/L, 0.88 mg/L, 1.75 mg/L and 3.50 mg/L). After 48 hours of exposure the EC50 value was 0.79 mg/L and the NOEC 0.251 mg/L by comparison of growth rate. The above concentrations are all based on the geometric mean of the measured values. In addition, as a result of an acute swimming inhibition test using a reference substance (potassium dichromate, special grade reagent), EiC50 for 48 hours. It was 0.42 mg/L. This toxicity study is classified as acceptable and satisfies the guideline requirements for the acute daphnia toxicity study.

Description of key information
The acute toxicity of CBS to aquatic invertebrates (Dapnia magna) was tested according to OECD TG 202 "Daphnia sp. Acute Immobilisation test". After 48 hours of exposure an EC50 of 0.79 mg/L was obtained (MOE Japan, 1997). The effect concentrations in the key study (MOE Japan, 1997) are based on the geometric mean, as CBS degrades in the test system. It was determined that CBS is still present between 34.1% and 42.8% of the nominal after 24 hours. The study was conducted in a semi static design with test solution renewals after 24h.
CBS is rapidly degraded by hydrolysis and the main degradation products appearing during the time frame of acute tests are benzothiazole (BT) and benzothiazolone (BTon). The acute toxicity of BT to Daphnia magna was tested according to a guideline of U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (1975). The LC50 of 20 mg/l (nominal) and NOEC of 5.6 mg/l (nominal) were obtained (Analytical Bio-Chemistry Laboratories, Inc.,1978). According to OECD TG 202, the acute toxicity of BTon to Daphnia magna was determined to be a 48h-EC50 of 16.1mg/l (nominal). The nominal concentration was confirmed analytically (AKZO NOBEL, 2004).
There are some other benzothiazole derivatives as metabolites from CBS are considered as relevant for environmental exposure and risk assessment, such as MeBT, MBT, MBTS and MeSBT. The acute toxicities of MeBT and MeSBT to Daphnia magna were tested according to OECD TG 202 and the 48h- EC50 of 29.8 mg/l and 8.5mg/l (nominal) were determined, respectively, which were analytically confirmed (AKZO NOBEL, 2004). A 48h-LC50 of 4.1 mg/l of MBT to Daphnia magna was reported (Monsanto, 1979) as a nominal concentration with the application of acetone. For MBTS no acute toxic effect was observed to Daphnia magna up to its water solubility (Bayer AG, 1993).
Regarding the data summarized here, the described metabolites of CBS are less toxic to aquatic invertebrates than CBS itself.

Additional information
A hydrolysis half-life time of CBS of 13.4 h was observed in deionized water at pH 7.0 and at 20°C (Currenta 2022). The effect concentrations in the key study (MOE Japan, 1997) are based on the time weighted average, as CBS degrades in the test system. It was determined that CBS is still present between 39% and 45.5% of the nominal after 24 hours. The study was conducted in a semi static design with test solution renewals after 24h. The reported EC50 is higher than the water solubility of CBS (i.e. 0.32 mg/l). To achieve higher test concentrations a vehicle (hardened castor oil HCO-40) used in the study.
The LC50 reported in Monsanto 48 h acute Daphnia test is much higher than water solubility of CBS (i.e. 0.32 mg/l) with the help of co-solvent of acetone. Therefore, in 48 h of test CBS is expected to have been hydrolyzed and further dissolved in water and so on. Unfortunately this is not analytically confirmed. The observed effect (EC50 = 18 mg/l) is hence also a combined effect from both CBS and its hydrolysis products.
