Deviations:
not specified
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Specific details on test material used for the study:
The test substance is listed as 2-Hydroxyethyl Ricinoleate (CAS # 106-17-2). The test substance is a clear yellow viscous liquid. The test substance was obtained from the Sponsor, Vertellus Holdings LLC and stored at room temperature in the dark.
Analytical monitoring:
yes
Vehicle:
no
Test organisms (species):
Daphnia magna
Details on test organisms:
The test was carried out using Daphnia magna neonates (<24 hours old) obtained from an in-house daphnid culture.
Test type:

Limit test:
no
Total exposure duration:
48 h
Nominal and measured concentrations:
Following a preliminary range-finding test, a definitive test with nominal concentrations of 10, 18, 32, 56 and 100 mg/L, and a control group at 0 mg/L was conducted.

Conclusions:
The test substance induced acute immobilisation of Daphnia magna at nominal concentrations tested after 48 hours of exposure. The 48-h EC50 value was estimated to be 1.8 mg/L (0.77 to 4.0 mg/L 95% Confidence Limits). The 48-h NOEC and 48-h LOEC were reported as 0.77 mg/L and 4.0 mg/L, respectively.

Description of key information

The key study was a semi-static acute invertebrate toxicity test on the effects of the substance on the freshwater invertebrate Daphnia magna following OECD Guideline 202. The test substance induced acute immobilisation of Daphnia magna after 48 hours of exposure. The 48-h EC50 value was reported as 1.8 mg/L. The 48-h NOEC and the 48-h LOEC were reported as 0.77 mg/L and 4.0 mg/L, respectively.
