Sampling and analysis
- Analytical monitoring:
- yes
Test solutions
- Vehicle:
- no
- Details on test solutions:
- The standard test procedures required generation of test solutions, which contained completely dissolved test substance concentrations or stable and homogeneous mixtures or dispersions. The testing of concentrations that would disturb the test system was prevented as much as possible (e.g. film of the test substance on the water surface). No correction was made for the purity/composition of the test substance.
The batch of EPYRRON-OPL tested was a cream powder with lumps with a purity of 85-95% and the test substance was not completely soluble in test medium at the loading rates initially prepared.
In the combined limit/ range-finding test preparation of test solutions started with individual loading rates of 1.0, 10 and 100 mg/l. In the final test preparation of test solutions started with an loading rate of 100 mg/l. A 15-minute treatment with ultrasonic waves was applied and was followed by a 2 day-period of magnetic stirring. The obtained dispersions were subsequently filtered through a 0.45 µm membrane filter (Whatman; RC55) to remove the undissolved fraction of test substance. In the final test the lower test concentrations were prepared by subsequent dilutions of the filtrate in test medium. The final test solutions for both experiments were all clear and colourless.
After preparation, volumes of 50 ml were added to each replicate of the respective test concentration. Subsequently, 1 ml of an algal suspension was added to each replicate providing a cell density of 104 cells/ml.

- Conc. based on:

- Basis for effect:
- growth rate
- Details on results:
- Statistically significant reduction of growth rate was found at every concentration tested (Bonferroni t test, α = 0.05). However, reduction lower than 10% is considered not biologically significant and so was the effect observed at the lowest concentration (8.6%). A reduction of approximately 30% was observed at TWA concentrations ranging from 0.065 to 1.0 mg/l. At the highest concentration a reduction of 92% was observed.
Also inhibition of yield was statistically significant at every concentration tested and ranged from 33% at the lowest concentration to 100% at the highest concentration tested.
Microscopic observations at the end of the revealed that algae cells were similar to the control at the TWA concentration of 0.016 mg/l, whereas at 0.065 to 1.0 mg/l cells were smaller.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
The EC50 for growth rate reduction (72h-ERC50) for Epyrron was 1.4 mg/l with a 95% confidence interval ranging from 1.3 to 1.6 mg/l, based on TWA concentrations, and by read across the EC50 for growth reduction for Epyrrol is considered similar.- Executive summary:
Under the conditions of the present study withPseudokirchneriella subcapitata, EPYRRON-OPL reduced growth rate and inhibited the yield of this fresh water algae species significantly at all of the concentrations tested.
The EC10for growth rate reduction (72h-ERC10) was 0.018 mg/l with a 95% confidence interval ranging from 0.0095 to 0.033 mg/l, based on TWA concentrations.
The EC50for growth rate reduction (72h-ERC50) was 1.4 mg/l with a 95% confidence interval ranging from 1.3 to 1.6 mg/l, based on TWA concentrations.
The EC10for yield inhibition (72h-EYC10) was 0.0072 mg/l and was considered an estimate as it was obtained by extrapolation.
The EC50for yield inhibition (72h-EYC50) was 0.029 mg/l with a 95% confidence interval ranging from 0.016 to 0.054 mg/l.
By read across the EC50 for growth reductions and yield inhibitions for Epyrrol are considered similar.
