- Executive summary:
A study was performed to assess the acute toxicity of the test item to Daphnia magna. The method followed was designed to be compatible with the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals (April 2004) No 202, "Daphnia sp., Acute Immobilisation Test" referenced as Method C.2 of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008.
Preliminary solubility work conducted indicated that it was not possible to obtain a testable solution of the test item using traditional methods of preparation e.g. ultrasonication and high shear mixing.
A preliminary media preparation trial indicated that a dissolved test item concentration of approximately 11 mg/L was obtained from a saturated solution method of preparation indicating this to be the limit of water solubility of this item under test conditions.
Following a preliminary range finding test and initial experiment, 20 daphnids (4 replicates of 5 animals) were exposed to an aqueous solution of the test item at nominal concentrations of 10, 18, 32, 56 and 100% v/v saturated solution for 48 hours at a temperature of 20 C to 21 C under semi-static test conditions. The test item solutions were prepared by stirring an excess (100 mg/L) of test item in test water using a propeller stirrer at approximately 1500 rpm for 24 hours. After the stirring period any undissolved test item was removed by filtration through a 0.2 µm Sartorius Sartopore filter (first approximate 1 liter discarded in order to pre condition the filter) to produce a 100% v/v saturated solution of the test item. This saturated solution was then further diluted as necessary, to provide the remaining test concentrations. Immobilization and any adverse reactions to exposure were recorded after 24 and 48 hours.
Chemical analysis of the fresh test preparations at 0 and 24 hour showed measured test concentrations to range from 0.81 to 7.4 mg/L. Analysis of the aged or expired test preparations at 24 and 48 hours showed measured test concentrations had declined, to between 0.25 and 6.9 mg/L and hence it was considered appropriate to calculate the results based on the geometric mean measured test concentrations in order to give a “worst case” analysis of the data. The geometric mean measured test concentrations were determined to be 0.69, 0.81, 2.2, 2.9 and 7.1 mg/L.
The 48 h EC50 of the test item to Daphnia Magna was 4.2 mg/L (95 % CL not determinable).

Preliminary Medium Preparaion Trial
Saturated Solution Preparation
A nominal amount of test item (550 mg) was dispersed, in duplicate, in 11 liters of deionized reverse osmosis water with the aid of propeller stirring at approximately 1500 rpm for periods of either 24 or 48 hours. After stirring samples were taken for chemical analysis after the following pre-treatments:
- Centrifugation at 10000 g for 30 minutes
- Centrifugation at 40000 g for 30 minutes
- Filtration through a 0.2 μm Sartorius Sartopore filter (approximately 1 liter discarded in order to pre condition the filter)
- Filtration through a 0.2 μm Sartorius Sartopore filter (approximately 2 liters discarded in order to pre condition the filter)
Results
Stirring Period and Treatment |
Concentration Found (mg/L) |
24 Hours Centrifuged 10000 g | 10.4 |
24 Hours Centrifuged 40000 g | 10.3 |
24 Hours Filtered ~ 1 liter discarded | 10.7 |
24 Hours Filtered ~ 2 liters discarded | 9.89 |
48 Hours Centrifuged 10000 g | 11.2 |
48 Hours Centrifuged 40000 g | 10.1 |
48 Hours Filtered ~ 1 liter discarded | 9.59 |
48 Hours Filtered ~ 2 liters discarded | 9.77 |
The results obtained indicated that there was no significant increase in the dissolved test item concentration obtained when the preparation period was extended beyond 24 hours. Furthermore, there were no significant differences between the pre-treatment types.
Based on this information the test item was prepared using a saturated solution method of preparation at an initial loading rate of 100 mg/L, stirred for a period of 24 hours prior to the removal of any undissolved test item by filtration through a 0.2 μm Sartorius Sartopore filter (first approximate 1 liter discarded) to give a nominal test concentration of approximately 11 mg/L.

A single key study was performed to assess the acute toxicity of the test item to Daphnia magna. The method followed was designed to be compatible with the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals (April 2004) No 202, "Daphnia sp., Acute Immobilisation Test" referenced as Method C.2 of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008.
