Samples tor the concentration analysis by HPLC in combination with UV detection were taken at start of exposure and 48 hours thereafter. The analytical results gave concentrations of 96.6, 48.0, 24.9, 12.5 and 6.2 mg/L.

- 111 mg test substance were suspended in 1000 ml tap water under constant stirring for 24 hours and filtered through a glassfibre filter and was used as the highest test concentration
- Aliquots of the solution were diluted 1:2, 1:4, 1:8 and 1:16 with tap water in order to prepare the different test concentrations
II. EXPOSURE CONDITIONS:
- Test vessels: LabelIed 100 ml test vessels holding 45 ml of the test medium or tap water and 5 ml of the dilution water with the daphnids
- Experimental design: 4 replicates each of the test solution and the dilution water control with 5 Daphnia in each vessel; 1 vessel without daphnids for each test and control solution, for the measurements of pH, temperature and oxygen content

- The 48 h-EC50 to Daphnia magna was calculated to be 16.3 mg/L (95% confidence limits (14.1-19.2)) on the basis of measured concentrations.
- Executive summary:
The purpose of this study was to determine the acute toxicity with Daphnia magna in order to evaluate the aquatic toxicity. The study was conducted as a definitive test in agreement with the test guideline of the OECD, no. 202. Twenty juvenile Daphnia magna were used tor each test solution of the test substance and twenty tor the tap water control. The Daphnia were exposed for aperiod of 48 hours under static conditions. Immobilization was recorded at 24 hours and 48 hours. For the preparation of the test solutions a suspension with a nominal concentration of 100 mg/I was stirred tor 24 hours. This suspension was filtered through a glassfibre filter. The resulting solution served as the highest concentration. It was further diluted 1:2, 1:4, 1:8 and 1:16. The nominal concentrations of the test solutions were 6.2, 12.5, 25, 50 and 100 mg/L. Samples tor the concentration analysis by HPLC in combination with UV detection were taken at start of exposure and 48 hours thereafter. The analytical results gave concentrations of 96.6, 48.0, 24.9, 12.5 and 6.2 mg/L. Statistical evaluation regarding the observations of immobilization was performed by probit analysis. Immobilized Daphnia were observed in the test solutions containing 12.5, 24.9, 48 and 96.6 mg/L. The highest concentration without effects was 6.2 mg/L. This toxicity study is classified as acceptable and satisfies the guideline requirements for the acute daphnia study.
