Sampling and analysis
- Analytical monitoring:
- no
Test solutions
- Vehicle:
- no
- Details on test solutions:
- The test medium (reconstituted water and test material) was freshly prepared. The calibrated flask with test material and vehicle, reconstituted water, was treated in an ultrasound bath for 1 hour. Subsequently, the preparation was stirred with a magnetic stirrer for further 23 hours. Afterwards, the preparation was filtered through a filter funnel with a pore size of 10-16 µm. The filtrate was used for the study.
Test organisms
- Test organisms (species):
- Desmodesmus subspicatus (previous name: Scenedesmus subspicatus)
- Details on test organisms:
- The test system used for this study was a green unicellular algae species, Desmodesmus subspicatus, strain No. SAG 86.81, supplied by the "Sammlung von Algenkulturen, Pflanzenphysiologisches Institut der Universitat Gottingen". This strain is recommended by international guidelines. At the start of the experimental part, an algae stock suspension was prepared from the preculture containing about 10,000 algae cells/mL.

- Nominal and measured concentrations:
- Nominal concentration of 100 mg/L (limit test); due to very low water solubility and the fact that the study was a limit test, no further analysis was initiated.
- Details on test conditions:
- The test medium (reconstituted water and test material) was freshly prepared. The light intensity was approximately 7500 to 9500 Lux. The experimental part was started by inoculation of algae to the different groups so that the flasks contained about 10,000 cells/mL. The algae were taken from an exponentially growing pre-culture (growth rate 120.7) which was set up 3 days prior to the experimental part under the same conditions as in the final study.

Any other information on results incl. tables
The test material concentration in the aqueous medium was not quantified at the start and at the end of this study as a very low water solubility was calculated for this test item (ca. 0.059 µg/L). Therefore, the development of an analytical method with a sufficiently low detection and quantification limit would be very time and cost intensive. Due to the absence of any adverse effects at the saturation concentration, the study was performed without analytical concentration verification.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- An aqueous preparation of 100 mg/L (nominal) of the test item revealed no toxic effect in the test system. Therefore, the 72 hours EC50 could not be determined, because it exceeded the maximum solubility of the test material in reconstituted water (EC50 > 0.00021 mg/L).
- Executive summary:
Purpose
The purpose of this assay was to identify the aquatic toxicity potential of the test item in algea to provide a rational basis for hazard estimation for the test item in aquatic environments.
Study design
The influence of the test material on the growth and growth rate of the green algae species Desmodesmus subspicatus was tested. The study design included one control and one test material group with three replicates, each containing about 100 rnL reconstituted water or test medium and 10,000 cells/mL at the start of the experimental phase. The algae were exposed to a filtrate of nominal 100 mg/L and the study was performed as a limit test in an open static test system. The growth was calculated after 24, 48, and 72 hours exposure in the test medium.
Results
The test material concentration in the aqueous medium was not quantified at the start and the end of this study due to the low water solubility (< 0.00021 mg/L). Because of the low water solubility, the compound cannot be detected with standard analytical methods. The development of an analytical method with a sufficiently low detection and quantification limit is complex. Due to the absence of any adverse effects at the saturation concentration, the study was performed without analytical concentration verification.
After exposure of Desmodesmus subspicatus for 72 hours the following results were obtained.
72 h EbC50 > 0.00021 mg/L (nominal > 100 mg/L)
72 h ErC50 > 0.00021 mg/L (nominal > 100 mg/L)
NOEC > 0.00021 mg/L (nominal > 100 mg/L)
Conclusions
An aqueous preparation of 100 mg/L (nominal) of the test item revealed no toxic effect in the test system. Therefore, the 72 hours EC50 could not be determined, because it exceeded the maximum solubility of the test material in reconstituted water (EC50 > 0.00021 mg/L).
