Sampling and analysis
- Analytical monitoring:
- yes
- Details on sampling:
- Determination of the test item All test item concentrations and the control were analytically verified via HPLC-DAD at the start (0 day, fresh medium) and at the end of the exposure (7 days, old medium). The samples were analysed with an HPLC-DAD method. The method was implemented under non-GLP but documented in the raw data and validated.
Test solutions
- Vehicle:
- no
- Details on test solutions:
- Preparation of the test item solution
A stock solution with a nominal test item concentration of 100 mg/L was freshly prepared with dilution water and agitated until the solution was visually clear. The test item solution was clear and blue colored.
Test concentrations
Based on the results of a preliminary range finding test, 5 nominal test item concentration levels were tested in a geometrical series with a dilution factor of √10: 1.00 – 3.16 – 10.0 – 31.6 – 100 mg/L. As the inhibition values were higher than expected, the study was repeated with 6 nominal test item concentration levels in a geometrical series with a dilution factor of 4: 0.0977 - 0.391 - 1.56 - 6.25 - 25.0 - 100 mg/L. The geometric mean measured test item concentrations were calculated to be 0.500* – 0.500* – 1.22 – 5.29 – 17.2 – 79.6 mg/L (*1/2 LOQ).
Control Six replicates (without test item) were tested under the same test conditions as the test vessels.
Test organisms
- Test organisms (species):
- Lemna gibba
- Details on test organisms:
- Test organism
Duckweed, Lemna gibba, Lemnaceae, Arales, Arecidae, Monocotyledonae
Young, rapidly growing plants without visible lesions or discolouration (chlorosis) were used for the test.
Reason for the selection of the test organism
According to the guideline, Lemna gibba is a suitable species because it is a representative of temperate areas commonly used for toxicity tests.
Origin
EUROFINS-GAB GMBH, Eutinger Str. 24, 75223 Niefern-Öschelbronn, Germany
Cultivation at test facility
The species is cultured in the test facility. Density is kept low to prevent conglomerates of plants on the surface. At least once per week, plants are transferred to freshly prepared growth medium. Growth media and culturing vessels are autoclaved before use to enable the breeding of axenic cultures.
Breeding vessels
Crystallisation dishes of glass, vol. 900 mL, filled with ca. 500 mL growth medium, covered with glass tops
Medium
20X-AAP-medium (Algal Assay Procedure medium),
pH-value 7.5 ± 0.1, see dilution water
Temperature 24 ± 2 °C
Light regime
Continuous fluorescent light, 1100 – 4440 lux
Acclimatization of the test system
The test system (the test organism) was held for 7 days under test conditions to acclimatize. These acclimatized plants were used in the test.

CuCl2 2 H2O 0.012 mg/L 0.24 µg/L
pH-value 7.5 ± 0.1
The pH of the test medium had to be 7.5 0.1 and was adjusted prior to testing with the addition of 1 N NaOH and HCl.
Application Static with application of the test item at test start. At the start of the exposure, 3 uniform, healthy plants (colonies of 4 fronds each), were introduced into each test vessel containing the test media. The initial frond number per test vessel was 12. The initial numbers of colonies and fronds were the same in each test vessel.
Temperature (Target)
24 ± 2 °C
Light regime (Target)
Continuous, fluorescent light, 6500 to 10000 lux on the surface of the test medium (difference of light intensity at any measured incubation place < 15 % from the mean value)
Placement of the test vessels
A randomised placement of the test vessels was carried out. Random repositioning of the test vessels when observation were
made was carried out.
Type and frequency of measurements
The numbers of plants and fronds were determined at the start and
the end of the exposure. The number of fronds was determined every 2 - 3 days from each replicate of the control and the test concentrations. Every frond that visibly projected beyond the edge of a parent frond was counted as a separate frond. Fronds that lost their pigmentation were not counted. Observations of frond size, appearance, indication of necrosis, chlorosis or gibbosity, colony break-up or loss of buoyancy, of root length and appearance, as well as of change in colour and destruction of roots, were made on every determination day and at the end of the exposure.
After 7 days, the determination of dry weight was carried out from 3 replicates per test concentration and 6 control replicates. Colonies from each test vessel were collected, rinsed with deionised water and then dried at 60 °C to a constant weight. Any root fragments were included. The dry weight was expressed to an accuracy of 0.1 mg.
The dry weight of the starting biomass was determined based on a sample of fronds (same number of fronds as in the test vessels) taken from the same batch used to inoculate the test vessels.
Physico-chemical Parameters
The pH-values were measured in the freshly prepared solutions before distribution into the replicates. The pH-values of the aged solution were measured from pooled replicates per concentration and control. The temperature of the medium in a surrogate vessel held under the same conditions in the growth room was recorded daily. The light intensity was measured prior to the start of the exposure at positions which had the same distance from the light source as the Lemna fronds. - Reference substance (positive control):

The observed responses to the reference item were within the valid range, confirming the normal sensitivity of the test system used in the study with the test item. - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- Statistics For the determination of NOEC, LOEC and EC-values, three replicates were included for the test concentrations and six replicates for the control.
NOEC and LOEC values
NOEC/LOEC was determined by calculation of the statistical significance of inhibition of growth rates and yield in comparison to the control: One Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and DUNNETT’s test were used as a standard. A normality test and an equal variance test were done first. The SHAPIRO-WILK-Test was used to test for normally distributed populations. P-values for both normality and equal variance test were 0.05. The -value (acceptable probability of incorrectly concluding that there is a difference) was =0.05. Normality test failed for calculation of yield (fronds). Therefore, the data were transformed (Y=Y(Log)).
EC-values and statistical analyses
EC10-, EC20- and EC50-values (0 - 7 d) of the growth rate and yield (frond number and dry weight) inhibition were calculated by sigmoidal dose-response and third order polynomial regression. Calculations of the confidence intervals of EC10-, EC20- and EC50-values were carried out from the best fit values, the standard error and the t-distribution with the software GraphPad Prism.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- In this study, Acid Blue 221 was found to inhibit the growth of the monocotyledonous aquatic plant Lemna gibba after 7-day exposure under static conditions, with the following effect values (nominal test item concentrations): The EC50-values for inhibition of the specific growth rate (fronds and dry weight) (ErC50, ErdwC50) were > 100 mg/L (geometric mean measured: 79.6 mg/L) and yield (fronds and dry weight) (EyC50, EydwC50) were 3.60 (2.31 – 6.24) mg/L and 15.2 (8.36 – 30.2) mg/L (geometric mean measured: 2.72 (1.66 – 5.16) mg/L and 10.6 (6.24 – 21.4) mg/L), respectively.
- Executive summary:
The effects of the test item Acid Blue 221 on the growth of the monocotyledonous aquatic plant species Lemna gibba were determined according to the principles of OECD 221 at the test facility from2017-10-25 to 2017-12-21, with the definitive exposure phase from 2017-12-13 to 2017-12-20.
Lemna gibba was exposed to the test item for 7 days under static conditions. Based on a preliminary test, 5 nominal test item concentration levels were tested in a geometrical series with a dilution factor of√10: 1.00 – 3.16 – 10.0 – 31.6 – 100 mg/L. As the inhibition values were higher than expected, the study was repeated with 6 nominal test item concentration levels in a geometrical series with a dilution factor of 4:0.0977 - 0.391 - 1.56 - 6.25 - 25.0 - 100 mg/L. The second study is considered to be the main study, but as the first study is also valid, its results will be reported, too. Three replicates were investigated for each test concentration and six for the control. Frond numbers were assessed on days 0, 2, 5 and 7. Environmental parameters (light, pH and temperature) were within the acceptable limits. All test solutions were clear and concentration-related blue coloured throughout the exposure.The validity criteria of the test guideline were fulfilled.
The concentrations ofthe test item Acid Blue 221 and the control were analysed via HPLC-DAD at the beginning and end of the exposure.
At the start of the exposure the measured concentrations of Acid Blue 221 were in the range of < LOQ and 90% of the nominal values. At the end of the exposure the measured concentrations were between < LOQ and 80% of the nominal values. The geometric mean measured test item concentrations were calculated to be 0.500* – 0.500* – 1.22 – 5.29 – 17.2 – 79.6 mg/L (*1/2 LOQ). . All effect values are given based on the nominal and geometric mean measured test item concentrations.
