- Details on test solutions:
- The primary stock solution (2.0 mg/L) was prepared as a water accommodated fraction (WAF) by adding the aliquot of test substance directly to the total volume of dilution water in a glass beaker. The solution was mixed slowly overnight for approximately 19.5 hours with a magnetic stir plate and Teflon covered stir bar. After mixing, the solution was allowed to settle for approximately 30 minutes. The solution was observed to be clear and colorless with undissolved oily globules of the test substance visible on the surface. The solution was then siphoned, avoiding the solution surface. The resulting solution was observed to be clear and colorless with no visible undissolved test substance.
Exposure solutions were prepared as dilutions of the stock water-accommodated fraction (WAF), as follows: 3.1, 6.3, 13, 25, 50, and 100% of a 2.0 mg/L water-accommodated fraction (WAF). The resulting exposure solutions were observed to be clear and colorless with no visible undissolved test substance following mixing with a glass rod for one minute. Control vessels were maintained under the same conditions as the treatment level solutions. - Test organisms (species):

- The acute toxicity (EL50) of the test substance to Daphnia magna under static-renewal conditions after 48 hours was determined to be 1.0 mg/L loading rate WAF, and the No Observed Effect Loading rate (NOEL) was determined to be 0.50 mg/L loading rate WAF. Based on geometric mean measured concentrations, the 48-hour EC50 and NOEC were determined to be 0.0065 mg a.i./L and 0.0034 mg a.i./L, respectively.
- Executive summary:
The study was conducted in accordance with the requirements of OECD Guideline No. 202 to assess the toxicity the 48-hour acute toxicity of the test substance to water fleas (Daphnia magna). Test solutions were prepared as Water Accommodated Fractions (WAFs) based on the recommendations of OECD Series on Testing and Assessment, No. 23.
The definitive test was conducted under semi-static conditions (daily renewal) at 20 +/- 2 °C,employing nominal loading rates (WAF) of 0.063, 0.13, 0.25, 0.50, 1.0 and 2.0 mg/L (prepared as dilutions of the 2.0 mg/L loading rate WAF stock solution),with a concurrent control group. Each treatment or control consisted of 4 replicate 250 mL glass vessels each containing 200 mL of media and 5 juvenile daphnids. The daphnids in each test vessel were observed for immobilization and sub-lethal effects at 24-hour intervals throughout the 48-hour exposure period. The daphnids were not fed during the test. Analysis of test solutions collected at 0 and 24 hours (fresh media) and at 24 and 48 hours (old media) using liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry detection (LC-MS/MS) resulted in geometric mean measured concentrations of0.00037, 0.00074, 0.0016, 0.0034, 0.0062, and 0.014 mg/L.
The acute toxicity (EL50) of the test substance to Daphnia magna after 48 hours under static-renewal conditions was determined to be 1.0 mg/L loading rate WAF, and the No Observed Effect Loading rate (NOEL) was determined to be 0.50 mg/L loading rate WAF. Based on geometric mean measured concentrations, the 48-hour EC50 and NOEC were determined to be 0.0065 mg a.i./L and 0.0034 mg a.i./L, respectively.
