Sampling and analysis
- Analytical monitoring:
- yes
- Details on sampling:
- Samples were taken from all test media including the control at the start of the test (without algae), after 24, 48 and 72 hours of exposure (containing algae). For sampling at the start of the test the samples were taken from the freshly prepared test solutions as well as from the pure test water serving as control. For sampling at 24, 48 and 72 hours, the replicates per treatment were pooled prior to sampling. These samples were centrifuged at 4500 g for 10 min to separate the algae.
All samples were diluted with acetonitrile to obtain a composition of sample:acetonitrile (6:4; v:v). Subsequently, the samples were stored deep-frozen (at about -20 °C) until analysis. In non-GLP preliminary experiments, the test item proved to be stable under these storage conditions.
Test solutions
- Vehicle:
- no
- Details on test solutions:
- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION
The following test flasks were set up:
- Test solution (Tn): containing test water, test item and algae (three replicates per test concentration)
- Control (Bn): containing test water and algae (six replicates)
- Since the test item is readily soluble in test water, the test solutions were prepared by respective dilutions of a stock solution. A stock solution with a concentration of 100 mg/l was prepared by adding the test item to test water in sterile glassware and stirring it for 15 minutes until dissolution. The respective dilutions of this stock solution were then prepared with test water and sterile glassware. 100 ml of each test media were added to the sterile test flasks and inoculated with an exponentially growing preculture of algae.
For the exposure, the test flasks were then placed on an orbital shaker at a nominal shaking speed of about 130 revolutions per minute. The test flasks were repositioned daily during the exposure.
Test organisms
- Test organisms (species):
- Raphidocelis subcapitata (previous names: Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, Selenastrum capricornutum)
- Details on test organisms:
- TEST ORGANISM

These analyses showed that the test concentrations were correctly dosed and remained within 80–120% of the nominal value over the whole exposure period. Therefore, the effective concentrations ECx were assessed based on the nominal concentrations of the test item.
Based on the results of this non-GLP range finding test the following test item concentrations were selected for the definitive test: 100, 56.0, 32.0, 18.0 and 10.0 mg/l. - Details on test conditions:

- AVERAGE SPECIFIC GROWTH RATE
With respect to the endpoint average specific growth rate the following inhibitory effects were observed compared to the control: 5% at 100 mg/l, 5% at 56.0 mg/l, 3% at 32.0 mg/l and 2% at 18.0 mg/l nominal concentration. No significant adverse effects were observed at 10.0 mg/l nominal concentration.
The 72-hour EC50 based on average specific growth rate inhibition of Triethylene glycol dimethanesulfonate to Raphidocelis subcapitata was estimated to be >100 mg/l. The EC10 was estimated to be >100 mg/l.
The LOEC with respect to average specific growth rate was determined to be 18.0 mg/l according to a Williams’ multiple t-test (one-sided smaller, a = 0.05). The corresponding NOEC is therefore 10.0 mg/l.
YIELD
With respect to the endpoint yield, the following inhibitory effects were observed compared to the control: 24% at 100 mg/l, 24% at 56.0 mg/l, 15% at 32.0 mg/l and 9% at 18.0 mg/l nominal concentration. No significant adverse effects were observed at 10.0 mg/l nominal concentration.
The 72-hour EC50 based on yield inhibition of Triethylene glycol dimethanesulfonate to Raphidocelis subcapitata was estimated to be >100 mg/l. The EC10 was calculated to be 21.2 mg/l (95% confidence interval: 10.8–29.9 mg/l). These ECx were computed using a linear regression with a logit link function and a maximum likelihood algorithm (slope = 1.79, intercept = -4.57, degrees of freedom = 13, p(Chi²) = 1.00, r2 = 0.716, p(F) = <0.001).
The LOEC with respect to average specific growth rate was determined to be 18.0 mg/l according to a Williams’ multiple t-test (one-sided smaller, a = 0.05). The corresponding NOEC is therefore 10.0 mg/l.
OBSERVATIONS AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
The microscopic examination of the algal cells at the end of the test showed no abnormal appearance of the algae growing at the nominal test concentration of 100 mg/l. The appearance of the algal cells was not affected by the test item up to at least this concentration.
No remarkable observations were made concerning the appearance of the test media.
The pH value in the control replicates changed by 0.7 units. The light intensity was maintained at 5360 lux ± 8%. The temperature remained at 22°C during the whole exposure period. All values were within the guideline
ranges. - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- Statistical analysis was performed with respect to the no observed effect concentrations. The statistical analysis was conducted with the software ToxRat® Pro.

- Conclusions:
- The acute toxicity of Triethylene glycol dimethanesulfonate (CAS no. 80322-82-3) to the green alga Raphidocelis subcapitata was determined in a 72 hour static test according to OECD guideline 201. The median effect concentration with respect to growth rate (ErC50/0–3 days) of Triethylene glycol dimethanesulfonate to the green alga Raphidocelis subcapitata was estimated to be >100 mg/l. The no observed effect concentration (NOErC) with respect to growth rate was determined to be 10.0 mg/l. The results of the test can be considered reliable without restriction.
- Executive summary:
The growth inhibitory effects of Triethylene glycol dimethanesulfonate (CAS no. 80322-82-3) to the green alga Raphidocelis subcapitata were investigated according to the OECD guideline 201 over a period of 72 hours.
The test item is liquid, 94.3% (area) pure and soluble in test water (OECD medium) up to at least 100 mg/l. Consequently, the test solutions were prepared by respective dilutions of a stock solution. The nominal concentrations tested were 100, 56.0, 32.0, 18.0 and 10.0 mg/l.
The concentrations of Triethylene glycol dimethanesulfonate in the test media were determined by HPLC with evaporative light scattering detection in the samples from the test start as well as in the samples after 24, 48 and 72 hours of exposure. These analyses showed that the test concentrations were correctly dosed and remained stable within 80–120% of the nominal value over the exposure period. Therefore, the effective concentrations ECx were assessed based on the nominal concentrations of the test item over the entire 72 hours test period.
With respect to the endpoint average specific growth rate, the following inhibitory effects were observed compared to the control: 5% at 100 mg/l, 5% at 56.0 mg/l, 3% at 32.0 mg/l and 2% at 18.0 mg/l nominal concentration. No significant adverse effects were observed at 10.0 mg/l nominal concentration.With respect to the endpoint yield, the following inhibitory effects were observed compared to the control: 24% at 100 mg/l, 24% at 56.0 mg/l, 15% at 32.0 mg/l and 9% at 18.0 mg/l nominal concentration. No significant adverse effects were observed at 10.0 mg/l nominal concentration.
The results of the average specific growth rate and yield inhibition of Triethylene glycol dimethanesulfonate to the green alga Raphidocelis subcapitata are summarised in the following table based on the nominal concentrations of the test item:Parameter (0-72 h) Growth rate [mg/l] Yield [mg/l] EC50 >100 >100 EC10 >100 21.2 LOEC 18.0 18.0 NOEC 10.0 10.0 The 72 h EC50 value based on average specific growth rate inhibition of Triethylene glycol dimethanesulfonate (CAS no. 80322-82-3) on the green alga Raphidocelis subcapitata was >100 mg/l and the EC10 was >100 mg/l based on nominal concentrations of the test item.
All validity criteria were fulfilled.
