Appearance of test solution:

The solution of 0.00743 mg/L exposure level was white suspension at the start of the exposure, and that at the end of the exposure was green white suspension due to the algea growth. In addition, white suspended substance was slightly observed on the surface, and white pellet was also found on the bottom at the start and end of the exposure.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
The test item had no impact on test organisms at around the solubility of the test item in medium.
Executive summary:

The present study was conducted as a limit test to confirm whether the test item affected the test organisms at the solubility of the test item in medium or not. Although the measured concentrations of the test item in the test solution were slightly above the solubility of the test item in medium (125 ~ 137 %), those were kept within ± 20 % of those at the start of the exposure. In addition, as the environmental conditions were also within the suitable range, we evaluated that this study complied with the test guidelines.

As a result, the concentrations of the test item in the test solution were maintained at around the solubility of the test item in medium. In addition, no effect on the growth of the test organisms was observed under the test conditions. Therefore, it was concluded that the test item had no acute impact on test organisms at around the solubility of the test item in medium.
