Details on test organisms:

TEST ORGANISM
- Strain: laboratory culture originating from a strain supplied by I.R.CH.A., France.
- Breeding: testing laboratoyr, cultures maintained at 21°C in polypropylene vessels containing two litres of dechlorinated and aged tap water. Culture conditions ensure that reproduction is by parthenogenesis.
- Age of parental stock: gravid adults were isolated 24 hours prior to initiation of the test. Young daphnids produced overnight were used for testing.
- Feed: cultures were fed daily with a suspension of mixed algae (predominantly Chlorella spp.).

Executive summary:

The acute toxicity of substance to Daphnia magna was investigated under static exposure conditions over a period of 48 hours, according to the OECD testing guideline. The following concentrations were tested: 5.0, 9.0, 16, 28, 50, 90, 160, 280 and 500 mg active ingredient/l.

Potassium dichromate was also tested as reference substance.

The maximum concentration causing no immobilization after 48 hours was 16 mg a.i./l (nominal); on the contrary, at the concentration of 500 mg a.i./l all the test organisms resulted to be immobilized. The EC50 at 48 hours was determied to be 140 mg a.i./l.

Conclusion

EC50 (48h): 140 mg a.i./l (nominal)

Additional information

There are no information about the short-term potential toxicity of Acid Violet 048 to acquatic invertebrates, thus the available information on the structural analogous Similar Substance 01 has been taken into consideration; the read across approach can be considered as appropriate and suitable to assess the property under investigation (details about the approach are reported into the document attached into the "information panel" of the Aquatic Toxicity endpoint summary).

The acute toxicity of Similar Substance 01 to Daphnia magna was investigated under static exposure conditions over a period of 48 hours, according to the OECD testing guideline 202. The maximum concentration causing no immobilization after 48 hours was 16 mg a.i./l (nominal); on the contrary, at the concentration of 500 mg a.i./l all the test organisms resulted to be immobilized. The EC50 at 48 hours was determied to be 140 mg a.i./l.
