Details on test solutions:

PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
- Method: The definitive test concentrations were obtained by transfering appropriate weights of test item directly to the test chambers.
- Controls: blank controls
- Chemical name of vehicle (organic solvent, emulsifier or dispersant): NA
- Concentration of vehicle in test medium (stock solution and final test solution(s) including control(s)): NA
- Evidence of undissolved material (e.g. precipitate, surface film, etc): There was was a slight amount of foam present on all test vessels at 0-hour. After 24-hours no foam remained.
- Test solution preparation:
The definitive test concentrations were obtained by transfering appropriate weights of test item directly to the test chambers. Fish were randomly added to the test solutuions within 30 minutes after test solution preparation. All test concentrations were based on the total compound, i.e., not corrected for purity or undissolved material.

Executive summary:

The acute toxicity of CT-317 -87 - which contains 50% CAS 37294 -49 -8 - to bluegill sunfish, Lepomis macrochirus, was determined in a static test. The test was performed according to OECD 203. No deviations to the guideline were reported. The test solutions were not aerated. No dose-verification analysis was performed. The test was performed with a control and nominal 18, 24, 32, 42, and 56 mg CT-317 -87/L corresponding to 9, 12, 16, 21, and 28 mg CAS 37294 -49 -8/L. During the study, the temperature of the test solutions ranged from 21 to 22°C. During the study the oxygen concentration ranged from 5.9 to 8.6 mg/L. After 96 hours of exposure, 0, 3, 1, 5, 10 and 10 out of 10 fish had died in the control, and 18, 24, 32, 42, and 56 mg CT-317 -87/L treatment groups. The 96 h LC50 was determined to be 29 mg CT-317 -87/L corresponding to 14.5 mg CAS 37294 -49 -8/L. The concentrations were based on nominal concentrations.

The results are considered to be reliable with restrictions for the risk assessment.
