- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION
The study will be carried out using WAFs (Water Accommodated Fractions). The WAFs (for fresh media at t=0h and t=24h) will be prepared under closed conditions and by slow-stirring.
The mixing vessels will be 1 L cylindrical glass bottles sealed with screw caps and fitted with a drain port near the bottom for drawing off the WAFs. A magnetic stirring bar will be placed in each mixing vessel completely filled with test water (with a minimum headspace). The loading rates of the test item will be weighed in glass flasks (approximate volume: 100 mL) filled with minimum headspace with test water (from the mixing vessel) and will be immediately sealed with screw caps after weighing. Each glass flask will be placed in a water bath for 10-15 minutes at approx. 50°C, followed by sonication for approx. 10 minutes. Then the mixing vessels will be carefully filled with the contents of the glass flasks and thereafter will be closed immediately. The mixing will be initiated with the vortex in the centre extending maximally around 10% vessel depth from the top to the bottom of the vessel. After 24 +/- 2 hours of gentle stirring in the dark at room temperature, the WAFs will be allowed to stand for at least 1 hour before use. The first 100 mL will be discarded via the drain port. Then the WAFs will be directly added into test vessels (without headspace) or will be filtered if necessary. After filling and introduction of daphnids the test vessels will be sealed immediately. The test will be carried out without adjustment of the pH.
Depending on the behaviour of the test substance in test water, minor changes in the method of preparation may be carried out.
Controls: Test water without test substance but treated in the same way as the test substance solution. - Test organisms (species):
- Daphnia magna
- Details on test organisms:
- TEST ORGANISM
- Species: Daphnia magna (Straus), clone 5
- Sex: Female
- Origin: LIEBE - CNRS UMR 7146 - UFR SciFA - Université de Lorraine Campus Bridoux - Bât. IBISE, 8, rue du Général Delestraint - 57070 METZ, bred in the Laboratoires des Pyrénées et des Landes.
- Validity of batch: Daphnids originated from a healthy stock, showing no signs of stress such as mortality, presence of males, ephippia or discoloured animals.
- Age at test start: < 24 hours old
- Reason for selection: Characteristic and common representative of freshwater zooplankton which has been selected as an internationally accepted invertebrate species.
- Breeding conditions: Daphnids are cultured in the Laboratoires des Pyrénées et des Landes under similar temperature and light conditions as used in the test. The cultivation of the parental daphnids is performed in all-glass vessel containing test water. Cultures are maintained at a density of 1 adult daphnid per 25 mL of culture medium. Daphnids are fed at least three times a week with a suspension of algal cells (Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata) up to 0.1-0.2 mg C.Daphnia.-1day.-1. The water is changed at least once per week. These culture conditions allow to maintain the daphnids in the parthenogenetic reproductive stage. - Test type:

- Details on test conditions:
- TEST PROCEDURE AND CONDITIONS
- Test duration: 48 hours
- Test type: Semi-static, in order to prevent the dissipation of the test item from test solutions because of its volatility and the expected degradation of some constituents.
- Test vessels: All-glass test tubes of approximately 20 mL capacity sealed with screw caps. Each test vessel will be uniquely identified with study code, replicate number, date of experimentation and treatment group.
- Number of daphnids: 20 per treatment group (control and loading rate of 100 mg.L-1), divided into 4 groups of 5 animals
- Loading: 5 daphnids per vessel each completely filled with test solution and without headspace
- Number of replicates: 4 replicates with daphnids per treatment group.
- Aeration: No aeration of the test solutions
- Feeding: No feeding
- Introduction of daphnids: Daphnids will be introduced into the test vessel each completely filled with test solution and without headspace as soon as possible after preparation of the test solutions.
TEST MEDIUM / WATER PARAMETERS
- Test water: Reconstituted water (Elendt M4 medium), as prescribed by OECD Guideline 202.
OTHER TEST CONDITIONS
- Photoperiod: 16 h light : 8 h dark
EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED
Immobility: Immobility and abnormal behaviour will be determined by visual observation after 24 and 48 hours. Immobile animals will be eliminated from the vessels as soon as they will be discovered. Daphnids are considered to be immobile if they are not able to swim within 15 seconds after gentle agitation of test vessels.
- pH and dissolved O2: At start (t=0h), at t=24h (new and old solutions) and at the end of the test (t=48h) from all treatment group.
- Temperature of medium: Measured continuously in a “temperature control” vessel next to the test vessels, over the study period, beginning at the start of the test.
DATA HANDLING
- Defining exposure concentrations: Effective concentrations will be determined considering nominal WAF concentrations (nominal loading rate values).
- Estimation of EL50 after 24 and 48 hours of exposure (if applicable): The data will be analysed by regression to determine the EL50 including the 95 % confidence interval by using the computer program ToxRat. The highest loading rate without effect and lowest concentration with 100% immobilisation will be determined by visual observation. Optionally, other statistical analyses may be performed if appropriate.
RANGE FINDING TEST
- Preparation of test solutions: The range-finding test is carried out using WAFs (Water Accommodated Fractions) of the test item over a range of nominal loading rates of 1, 10, 32 and 100 mg.L-1 and to a control. Two method of preparation for the WAFs is tried: heating/sonication and solvent conditions. The results of this preliminary test will be used in order to determine the range of loading rates to be tested in the definitive test. - Reference substance (positive control):

After 48 hours of exposure, immobilisation rates were 0% at 0.5, 1.1, 2.4 and 5.2 mg.L-1, 40% at 11.4 mg.L-1 and 100% at 25.0 mg.L-1.
