- 17/4/2013 - 18/4/2013
- Reliability:

- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
- Method: Amounts of test item (20, 64 and 200 mg) were added to the surface of 20 liters of reconstituted water to give the 1.0, 3.2 and 10 mg/L loading rates respectively. After the addition of the test item, the reconstituted water was stirred by magnetic stirrer using a stirring rate such that a vortex was formed to give a dimple at the water surface. The stirring was stopped after 23 hours and the mixture allowed to stand for 1 hour. A wide bore glass tube, covered at one end with Nescofilm was submerged into the vessel, sealed end down, to a depth of approximately 5 cm from the bottom of the vessel. A length of Tygon tubing was inserted into the glass tube and dispersions or undissolved test item to be present. The aqueous phase or W AF was removed by mid-depth siphoning (the first approximate 75-100 mL discarded) to give the 1.0, 3.2 and 10 mg/L loading rate W AFs.
Aliquots (100 and 320 mL) of the 1.0 mg/L loading rate WAF were each separately added to a final volume of 1 liter of reconstituted water to give the 0.10 and 0.32 mg/L loading rate W AFs respectively.
- Controls: Yes, blanks
- Evidence of undissolved material (e.g. precipitate, surface film, etc): At the start of the mixing period the 1.0, 3.2 and 10 mg/L loading rates were observed to be a clear colorless water column with oily globules of test item dispersed throughout and on the surface. After 23 hours stirring and a 1-Hour standing period the 1.0, 3.2 and 10 mg/L loading rates were observed to be a clear colorless water column with oily droplets of test item on the surface. Microscopic inspection of the W AF showed no micro-dispersions or undissolved test item to be present. The 0.10, 0.32, 1.0, 3.2 and 10 mg/L loading rate WAF test preparations were observed to be clear colorless solutions throughout the duration of the test.
Test organisms
- Test organisms (species):
- Daphnia magna
- Details on test organisms:
- TEST ORGANISM
- Common name: Daphnia magna
- Source: in-house laboratory strain
- Age at study initiation (mean and range, SD): less than 24 hours old
- Method of breeding: Adult Daphnia were maintained in 150 mL glass beakers containing Elendt M7 medium in a temperature controlled room at 20 °C. The lighting cycle was controlled to give a 16 hours light and 8 hours darkness cycle with 20 minute dawn and dusk transition periods. Each culture was fed daily with a mixture of algal suspension (Desmodesmus subspicatus) and Tetramin® flake food suspension. Culture conditions ensured that reproduction was by parthenogenesis. Gravid adults were isolated the day before initiation of the test, such that the young daphnids produced overnight were less than 24 hours old. These young were that the young daphnids produced overnight were less than 24 hours old. These young were removed from the cultures and used for testing. The diet and diluent water are considered not to contain any contaminant that would affect the integrity or outcome of the study.

- Nominal loading rates: 0.1, 0.32, 1.0, 3.2 and 10 mg/L
For measured TOC concentrations, see Section "Any other information on results incl. tables". Note that the results of the TOC analysis are considered to be invalid (see below).
Total Organic Carbon (TOC) analysis of the test preparations at 0 and 48 hours provided highly variable results and showed no concentration dependent pattern. There was no obvious explanation as to why the TOC results were variable, however, given that there was a very high amount of carbon seen in the control samples, and large inconsistencies between replicate samples, it is reasonable to assume that contamination or instrument malfunction may have occurred during the analysis. Given that the immobilization pattern during the study was consistent between the definitive test and the range finding test, and also that there was a relationship between dosed levels in the definitive test and a previsouly conducted test but not a relationship between measured concentrations, this error is not considered to have had an effect on the outcome or ntegrity of the study.
The dissolved test item may have been one or several components of the test item. Given that toxicity cannot be attributed to a single component or mixture of components but to test item as a whole, the results were based on nominal loading rates only. - Details on test conditions:
