- Details on results:
- - Exponential growth in the control: yes
- Observation of abnormalities: Microscopic observations at the end of the test revealed a normal and healthy appearance of the algal cells exposed to 2.6 mg solids/L when compared to the control.
- Measured concentrations: The initial measured concentrations were 0.90, 2.9, 8.1, 27 and 98 mg solids/L, respectively, in WAFs prepared at loading rates of 1.0, 3.2, 10, 32 and 100 mg solids/L. At the end of the test, the three lowest measured test concentrations had decreased below the LOQ (i.e. 0.01 mg solids/L), while the two highest measured test concentrations were at the level of 54 - 82% of initially measured. Small responses were measured in the analytical blank and in the control samples. The concentrations measured in the control samples at the start of the test and after 24 hours of exposure were comparable to the responses measured in the analytical blank and were considered caused by carry over, hence not relevant. The concentration measured in the control sample at the end of the test was higher than the analytical blank. The reason for this response is unknown. However, since the biological effects in the final test were comparable to the biological effects observed in the combined limit/range-finding test at similar test item concentrations and validity criteria for the control were met, it was assumed that the eventual presence of the test item at the measured concentration during the last phase of the exposure had negligible effect on the algal growth.
- 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
- EC50 for growth rate inhibition (72h-ErC50) was 0.90 mg/L with a 95% confidence interval ranging from 0.88 to 0.93 mg/L. The historical ranges for growth rate inhibition lie between 0.82 and 2.3 mg/L. The observed 72h-ErC50 for the algal culture tested corresponds with this range. - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- Statistical significance: Step-down Jonckheere-Terpstra Test Procedure, α=0.05, one-sided, smaller.
ECx calculation: probit analysis using linear max. likelihood regression with the percentages of growth rate inhibition versus the logarithms of the corresponding TWA concentrations
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 ErC10 and ErC50 were 1.7 and 13 mg solids/L, respectively. NOErC was 0.23 mg solids/L based on statistical significance and 0.87 mg solids/L based on biological relevance. This result is read across to Amphoacetates C8.
- Executive summary:
In a 72 h toxicity study conducted according to OECD guideline 201 and GLP principles, freshwater algae (Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata) were exposed to individually prepared Water Accommodated Fractions of the test item prepared at nominal loading rates of 1.0, 3.2, 10, 32, and 100 mg solids/L (3 replicates per concentration) and an untreated control (6 replicates). Measured concentrations were not stable throughout the exposure period, therefore Time Weighted Average concentrations were calculated to be 0.23, 0.87, 2.6, 22 and 81 mg solids/L in WAFs prepared at loading rates of 1.0, 3.2, 10, 32 and 100 mg solids/L. A concentration-related increase of growth rate inhibition was observed at all test concentrations. A statistically significant growth rate inhibition was observed at the four highest WAFs tested, but a biologically relevant growth rate inhibition was observed only in the three highest WAFs tested. The EC50 for growth rate inhibition (72h-ErC50) and 72h-ErC10 were 13 and 1.7 mg solids/L, respectively. The 72h-NOErC was 0.23 mg solids/L based on statistical significance and 0.87 mg solids/L based on biological relevance. The study met all validity criteria, and is considered reliable without restriction. This result is read across to Amphoacetates C8.

Description of key information
In a 72 h toxicity study conducted according to OECD guideline 201 and GLP principles, freshwater algae (Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata) were exposed to individually prepared Water Accommodated Fractions of an analogoes substance (C8 -C18 amphoacetates) prepared at nominal loading rates of 1.0, 3.2, 10, 32, and 100 mg solids/L (3 replicates per concentration) and an untreated control (6 replicates). Measured concentrations were not stable throughout the exposure period, therefore Time Weighted Average concentrations were calculated to be 0.23, 0.87, 2.6, 22 and 81 mg solids/L in WAFs prepared at loading rates of 1.0, 3.2, 10, 32 and 100 mg solids/L. A concentration-related increase of growth rate inhibition was observed at all test concentrations. A statistically significant growth rate inhibition was observed at the four highest WAFs tested, but a biologically relevant growth rate inhibition was observed only in the three highest WAFs tested. The EC50 for growth rate inhibition (72h-ErC50) and 72h-ErC10 were 13 and 1.7 mg solids/L, respectively. The 72h-NOErC was 0.23 mg solids/L based on statistical significance and 0.87 mg solids/L based on biological relevance. The study met all validity criteria, and is considered reliable without restriction. This data is read across to the registered substance (rationale attached in Section 13.
