- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
A stock solution (1600 µg/L of the test item were weighed out) was prepared with dilution water (river water as specified below) two days before the beginning of the pre-treatment of the test vessels and before the start both exposure intervals (at -72, -48 and -24 h).
The stock solution was stirred with approximately 1100 rpm at a temperature of 40 ± 2°C for 24 ± 1 hours. Thereafter, the stock solution was stirred for further 24 ± 1 hours with approximately 1100 rpm at the temperature of the test (19 - 21 °C).5 test item concentrations in a geometric series with a separation factor of 2 were prepared by diluting the stock solution of 1600 µg/L with natural river water. - Test organisms (species):

- The EC100-values (after 24 and 48 hours) were estimated directly from the observation data, without mathematical calculation. The EC10- and the EC50-values (after 24 and 48 hours) were calculated by sigmoidal dose-response regression. The respective 95 % confidence limits were calculated from the standard error and the t-distribution. All calculations were carried out from the best-fit values with the software GraphPad Prism5.
- Validity criteria fulfilled:

- Conclusions:
- The 48-hour EC50 of C16 Alkylamidopropyltrimethylammonium Chloride to Daphnia magna was 61.4 µg a.i./L (95 % confidence limits: 58.9 – 64.1 µg/L; measured concentration, geom. mean).
- Executive summary:
The 48-hr-acute toxicity of C16 Alkylamidopropyltrimethylammonium Chloride to Daphnia magna was studied under semi-static conditions according to OECD Guideline 202 (2004). Daphnids were exposed to control and test chemical at nominal concentrations of 96.0, 192, 384, 768, 1536 µg a.i./L (corresponding to 26.6, 35.9, 61.4, 460, 1144 µg/L geom. mean measured concentrations) in natural river water for 48 h.
The test item is known to sorb to organic and inorganic materials by different mechanisms. The sorption processes are mostly non-linear, means are concentration dependent. Due to these properties the test item is difficult to test in synthetic water (e.g. sorption to the test organisms and glass walls of the test vessels) and results from such tests depend from the test settings applied. Therefore, natural river water was used which contains particulate as well as dissolved organic carbon to which the test item can sorb partially to reduce the difficulties encountered in tests with synthetic water (e.g. preventing that the test item settles onto surfaces). The sorbed fraction of the test item is difficult to extract from the test system which normally leads to low analytical recoveries at the end of the exposure. Nevertheless the test item is present in the test system and therefore available for exposure (dissolved in water and sorbed).
Additionally, the test vessels were pre-treated with the test solutions one day before the start of the respective exposure interval to saturate the glass walls with sorbed test item in the definitive test.This procedure was carried out to achieve stable exposure concentrations in the test vessels and to reduce losses of the test item by adsorption onto the glass walls.Mortality/immobilization was observed daily.
The 48-hour EC50 was 61.4 µg a.i./L (95 % confidence limits: 58.9 – 64.1 µg/L)
This study is classified as acceptable and satisfies the guideline requirements for an acute toxicity study with freshwater invertebrates.
