- Executive summary:
A 48-h acute toxicity study in Daphnia magna was performed with Strontium tartrate according to OECD 202 and in compliance with GLP principles. A combined range-finder/ limit test was carried out under static conditions. The nominal test concentrations wer 0.10, 1.0, 10 and 100 mg/L. Preparation of test solutions started with the highest concentration (100 mg/L) applying 30 minutes of magnetic stirring to accelerate the dissolving of the test substance in the test medium. The lower test concentrations were prepared by subsequent dilutions of the stock in test medium. The final test solutions were all clear and colourless. Samples were taken for analysis at t = 0 and 48 hours. Samples of the control and 100 mg/L group were analysed by an ICP-MS method. At 100 mg/L, the actual concentration was at the level of nominal (109%) at the start of the test and remained stable during the test (99% of initial). Consequently, the effects parameters were reported in terms of the analytically confirmed nominal concentration.
During the first 24 hours of the study the lights were not turned off during the night. Therefore, the light period was longer than 16 hours. The results show that the daphnids were not affected (no immobility observed). Furthermore, at the end of the test the test substance concentration remained at the initial concentration (99% of initial) indicating that the light period did not influence the test substance concentration.
No effects were observed in any of the groups. The 48h-EC50 of the substance to Daphnia magna is > 100 mg/L.

Description of key information
EC50 (48 h) > 100 mg/L (nominal, OECD 202) based on read across from strontium tartrate (CAS 868-19-9)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The toxicity of disodium tartrate towards aquatic invertebrates was assessed using read across data from the analogues substance strontium tartrate (CAS 868-19-9). Details on the read across justification are provided in section 13 of the IUCLID dossier.
The study with the read across substance strontium tartrate (reference: 6.1.3-2) was conducted according to the OECD guidance 202 and GLP standards. In a static system the test organism Daphnia magna was exposed for 48 h to nominal test item concentrations of 0 (control), 0.10, 1.0, 10 and 100 mg/L (nominal). The mobility of the water flea was monitored after 24 and 48 h. The test item concentrations were analytically verified using ICP-MS at the beginning and at the end of the test. The analytical recovery of the test substance in the medium was between 99 and 109%. Therefore the results were expressed in nominal concentrations. No toxic effects were observed up to the highest tested concentration resulting in an EC50 (48 h) of > 100 mg/L (nominal). On the basis of these results it is concluded, that no toxic effects arise from strontium tartrate and its dissociation ionic species (tartrate di-anion and strontium cation) up to the tested concentrations. Regarding the non-common compound - strontium -between the target and the source substance, further findings by Okamoto et al. 2014, who tested the toxicity of 50 metals to Daphnia magna according to OECD guideline 202 also concluded low acute toxic effects by strontium starting at concentrations higher than 120 mg pure strontium per L.
Based on the results of the read across substance and the fact that sodium is an essential element for life and highly available in water systems, no toxic effects are expected by disodium tartrate to aquatic invertebrates.
