which contained dilution water and mixing for approximately 24 hours with a magnetic stirrer to produce a series of geometrically-spaced
loading rates (mg/L). After mixing, the WAFs were allowed to settle for an hour. Each aqueous phase was then drawn off and transferred to two
150 mL Erlenmeyer flasks which were completely filled. Two further flasks were filled with dilution water only and served as controls. - Test organisms (species):
- Daphnia magna
- Details on test organisms:
- Organisms were supplied by in-house cultures. The laboratory culture is derived from a clone held at ICI Brixham Laboratory. The ICI clone was

3.3 mg/L and 8.2 mg/L, respectively. - Details on test conditions:
- Ten Daphnia magna, less than 24 h old, were added to each flask. The flasks were sealed with black caps that excluded air from the vessel. After
24 and 48 h the numbers of immobilized D.magna were recorded. D.magna were considered to be immobile, if, when the contents of the flask were
swirled they did not swim during a 15 second period of observation.

- Reported statistics and error estimates:
- Loading rates causing a 50% effect were determined by visual inspection of the data. They are expressed as being within a range bounded by loading rates that were tested. This is considered more appropriate for test materials that are mixtures of substances of different solubilities than is an interpolative statistical technique.

Description of key information
Hydrocarbons, C9-C10, aromatics, >1% Naphthalene are a combination of Hydrocarbons, C9 Aromatics and Hydrocarbons, C10-C12 Aromatics. Read across data is available for Hydrocarbons, C9 Aromatics and Hydrocarbons, C10-C12 Aromatics and the worst case scenario for each end point has been presented.
The acute toxicity of C9 aromatics hydrocarbons as measured by immobility to the water flea (Daphnia magna) was evaluated in freshwater. Under the conditions of this study C9 aromatics hydrocarbons produced acute toxicity to Daphnia magna at 21.3 mg/L (48-hour EL50), based on nominal loading of the test substance in water, and 6.14 mg/L (48-hour EC50), based on measured concentrations.
Water accommodated fractions of hydrocarbons, C10, aromatics, >1% naphthalene, produced a 48-hour LL50value between 3 and 10 mg/L with Daphnia magna. In a supporting study, water accommodated fractions of hydrocarbons, C10, aromatics, >1% naphthalene, produced a 48-hour LL50 value of 10 mg/L with Daphnia magna.
This data is used for read across to Hydrocarbons, C9-C10, aromatics, >1% Naphthalene.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The data used to characterize the acute aquatic toxicity of C9 aromatics hydrocarbons are from a short-term toxicity study with Daphnia magna following standard test guidelines. These results indicate that C9 aromatics hydrocarbons causes moderate acute toxicity to freshwater invertebrates at 21.3 mg/L (48-hour EL50), based on nominal loading of the test substance in water, and 6.14 mg/L (48-hour EC50), based on measured concentrations.
Water accommodated fractions of hydrocarbons, C10, aromatics, >1% naphthalene, produced a 48-hour LL50 value between 3 and 10 mg/L with Daphnia magna.
This data is used for read across to Hydrocarbons, C9-C10, aromatics, >1% Naphthalene.
