- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION
- Method: Preparation of test solutions started with a loading rate of 100 mg/L applying a three-day period of magnetic stirring to ensure maximum dissolution of the test item in test medium. The obtained mixture was allowed to settle for a period of three hours. Thereafter, the aqueous Saturated Solution (SS) was collected by means of siphoning and used as the highest test concentration. Lower test concentrations were prepared by subsequent dilutions of the SS in test medium. All test solutions were clear and colorless at the end of the preparation procedure.
- Controls: Test medium without test item or other additives - Test organisms (species):

- Strain/clone: Straus 1820
- Source: In-house laboratory culture with a known history
- Age of parental stock: > 2 weeks
- Age at test initiation: <24 hours
- Validity of batch: Daphnids originated from a healthy stock, 2nd to 5th brood, showing no signs of stress such as mortality >20%, presence of males, ephippia or discoloured animals and there was no delay in the production of the first brood.
CULTIVATION

- yes
- Remarks:

- Key result
- Duration:
- 48 h
- Dose descriptor:
- EC50
- Effect conc.:
- 0.21 mg/L

- mobility
- Remarks on result:
- other: 95% confidence interval: 0.18 - 0.24 mg/L
- Details on results:
- - Behavioural abnormalities: none observed in the Control group.
- Mortality of control: none
- No immobility was observed in the control and the lowest test concentration throughout the exposure period while at the end of the test, a dose-related increase of immobility was observed at average concentrations of 0.15 mg/L and higher, reaching 100% immobility at the two highest test concentrations. See Table 2 in 'Any other information on results' for full details on immobility.
- All water quality parameters remained within the requirements as laid down in the study plan throughout the test. - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- - Results with reference substance valid?
Yes
- The 24h-EC50 was 0.80 mg/L with a 95% confidence interval between 0.71 and 0.90 mg/L.
- The 48h-EC50 was 0.33 mg/L with a 95% confidence interval between 0.29 and 0.38 mg/L.
- The responses in this reference test with K2Cr2O7 are within the ranges of the expected responses at the different concentrations, i.e. the 48h-EC50 was between 0.3 and 1.0 mg/L. Hence, the sensitivity of this batch of D. magna was in agreement with the historical data collected at the Test Facility. - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- The 24 and 48h-EC50-values were calculated from the weibits of the percentages of affected daphnids and the logarithms of the corresponding test item concentrations (average) using the maximum likelihood estimation method.
ToxRat Professional v 3.2.1 (ToxRat Solutions® GmbH, Germany) was used to perform the analysis. - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Remarks:
- See 'Overall remarks' for details on validity criteria.
- Conclusions:
- The 48h-EC50 for Daphnia magna exposed to the test substance was 0.21 mg/L based on average exposure concentrations (95% confidence interval between 0.18 and 0.24 mg/L).
- Executive summary:
In a 48 h acute toxicity test conducted according to OECD guideline 202, Daphnia magna were exposed to Saturated Solutions of the test substance prepared at a loading rate of 100 mg/L (10, 18, 32, 56 and 100% of SS) and an untreated control (all with 4 replicates per concentration and 5 daphnids per replicate). At the end of the test, measured concentrations were at 64-104% relative to initial. Therefore, geometric mean measured exposure concentrations were used to determine the effect parameters. No immobility was observed in the control and the lowest test concentration throughout the exposure period while at the end of the test, a dose-related increase of immobility was observed at average concentrations of 0.15 mg/L and higher, reaching 100% immobility at the two highest test concentrations. The 48h-EC50 for immobility was 0.21 mg/L based on geometric mean measured exposure concentrations (95% confidence interval between 0.18 and 0.24 mg/L). The study is considered to be reliable without restrictions.

At the end of the test, measured concentrations were at 64-104% relative to initial. Therefore, geometric mean measured exposure concentrations were used to determine the effect parameters. No immobility was observed in the control and the lowest test concentration throughout the exposure period while at the end of the test, a dose-related increase of immobility was observed at average concentrations of 0.15 mg/L and higher, reaching 100% immobility at the two highest test concentrations. The 48h-EC50 for immobility was 0.21 mg/L based on geometric mean measured exposure concentrations (95% confidence interval between 0.18 and 0.24 mg/L). The study is considered to be reliable without restrictions.
