Details on results:

Since the test substance exceeded ± 20% of the nominal concentraion, calculation was performed using the time weighted average concentration.

Reported statistics and error estimates:

Probit method for EC50 if applicable. 1-way ANOVA (a=0.05) and Dunnett's method (a=0.05, both side) for NOEC, after Barlett's homoscedastic test.

Validity criteria fulfilled:

not specified

Conclusions:

The 21 day-EC50 of choline chloride in Daphnia magna was 58.9 mg/L and the 21 day-NOEC was 30.2 mg/L.

Executive summary:

A reproduction test on aquatic invertebrates was performed with choline chloride according to OECD Guideline 211 (OECD 202 adopted in April 1984), following GLP. The following test item concentrations 0 (control), 3.2, 10, 32 and 100 mg/L were tested in a semi-static system. Ten groups of ten daphnids were exposed to the different concentrations of the test item or the control for 21 days. After 21 days, the LC50 of Daphnia magna was 100 mg/L (nominal) and 95.5 mg/L (measured). The 21 day-EC50 of test item in Daphnia magna was 58.9 mg/L and the 21 day-NOEC was 30.2 mg/L.

Description of key information

The available data refer to the degradation product of calcium phosphorylcholine chloride:

- Key study. OECD 211. GLP study. The 21 day-EC50 of choline chloride in Daphnia magna was 58.9 mg/L and the 21 day-NOEC was 30.2 mg/L.

Based on this information, it can be concluded that the substance phosphoryl choline chloride has a 21day-NOEC in Daphnia magna above 30.2 mg/l.
