- TEST MATERIAL FORMULATION
The test material was poorly soluble in water therfore a test solution was prepared using a saturated solution method. A saturated Test material stock solution (water) was prepared by dispersing/dissolving the amount of test material into the test medium (ISO Medium) one day before the treatment. This solution was shaken for about 24 hours at approximately 30 °C and then was equilibrated for about 6 hours at approximately 20 °C. The non-dissolved test material was removed by filtration through a fine (0.22 µm) filter to give the 100 % saturated solution. As Limit Test was carried out, further dilution of stock solution was not be performed. - Test organisms (species):
- Daphnia magna
- Details on test organisms:
- TEST ORGANISM
- Common name: Daphnia magna
- Justification for species: Daphnia magna is the standard species of the acute immobilisation test.
- Age of animals: They were less than 24 h old at the beginning of the test.
- Feeding during test: The animals were not fed during the test.
- Food type: The animals were not fed during the test.
- Number of animals: There were 20 animals in the test group and control gorup respectively, divided into 4 replicates.
- Breeding: The health of stock animals is continuously monitored by visual daily checking. Abnormal behaviour or significant decrease of population is recorded.
ACCLIMATION
- Acclimation period: There was no acclimatization because the water used was similar to the culture water.
- Type and amount of food: The animals were not fed during the test.
- Test type:
- semi-static
- Water media type:
- other: dilution water (ISO-medium)
- Limit test:
- yes
- Total exposure duration:
- 48 h
- Hardness:
- The reconstituted water (ISO medium) had a total hardness of 249 mg/L (as CaCO3).
- Test temperature:
- The water temperature was measured at the start and at the end of each renewal period in each test vessel. The test temperature was in the range of 20.1 – 20.3 °C measured in the test vessels. The additionally measured temperature in the climate chamber was between 19.7 and 20.7 °C.
- pH:
- The pH of the test solution was not adjusted and not varied by more than 1.5 units in any one test. The pH was measured at the start and at the end of each renewal period in each test vessel and was in the range of 7.45 – 8.07.
- Dissolved oxygen:
- The dissolved oxygen concentration was measured in each test vessel at the start and at the end of each renewal period and was in the range of 7.4 – 8.5 mg/L.
- Salinity:
- no data
- Conductivity:
- no data
- Nominal and measured concentrations:
- Only one test concentration at the solubility level of the test material in the test medium (100 % saturated solution) and one control group were tested in a Limit Test under semi-static conditions.
Nominal loading rate: 100 mg/L - Details on test conditions:
- TEST SYSTEM
- Test vessel: Glass beaker
- Material, size, headspace, fill volume: At least 5 mL test solution/animal

- No. of vessels per control (replicates): 1 replicates per concentration
OTHER TEST CONDITIONS
- Adjustment of pH: No adjustment of pH was carried out.
- Photoperiod: The test was carried out in 16-hour light and 8-hour dark cycle.
EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED/ OBSERVATIONS:
- The immobility or mortality of the Daphnia was determined by visual observation 24 and 48 hours after the start of the test. Those animals not able to swim within 15 seconds after gentle agitation of the test beaker are considered to be immobile.
- The number of immobilised animals and the percentage of immobility were determined at 24 and 48 hours.
- The water temperature, oxygen concentrations and pH of the control and the test solution were measured at the beginning and at the end of the renewal periods.
RANGE-FINDING STUDY
- Test concentrations: Nominal concentrations 0.1, 1.0, 10 and 100 mg/L
- No. of organisms per vessel: Five animals per vessel.
- No. of vessels per concentration (replicates): 2 replicates per concentration.
- No. of vessels per control (replicates): 2 replicates per concentration.
- Results used to determine the conditions for the definitive study: The choice of the test concentration was done on the basis of the results of a preliminary range-finding test. Because significantly toxic response was not observed during the preliminary concentration range-finding test, only one test concentration at the solubility level of the test material in the test medium (100 % saturated solution) and one control group were tested in a limit test under semi-static conditions. - Reference substance (positive control):

- Immobilisation
The number of immobilised animals and the percentage of immobility were determined at the 24th and 48th hour. No animals treated with the test substance were immobile at the 24 h and 48 h time points.
In addition to immobility, no abnormal behaviour or appearance of test animals was detected. - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- For the evaluation of the quality of the Daphnia clone and the experimental conditions, Potassium dichromate is tested at least twice a year to demonstrate satisfactory test conditions.
The 24h EC50 of the positive control was 1.16 mg/L (95 % confidence limits: 1.07 – 1.25 mg/L). - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- No statistical analysis was performed because of the lack of toxic effects. The EC50, NOEC, LOEC and EC100 values were determined directly from the raw data.
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of this Daphnia magna acute immobilisation study, the 24h and 48h EC50 value is >100 % saturated solution (nominal), the 48h NOEC is 100 % saturated solution (nominal), the 48h LOEC is >100 % saturated solution (nominal) and the 48h EC100 value is >100 % saturated solution (nominal).
- Executive summary:
The acute toxicity of the test material to Daphnia magna was investigated in a GLP study which was conducted in accordance with standardised guidelines OECD 202, EU Method C.2 and the JMAFF guidelines under static conditions.
Acute toxicity of the test material on Daphnia magna was assessed in an Acute immobilisation test, over an exposure period of 48 hours in a semi-static test system. Toxic effects were not observed during the preliminary concentration range-finding test therefore a limit test was performed in the main experiment using only one test concentration at the limit of solubility of the test item in the test medium (100 % saturated solution) and one control group. The experiment was carried out without analytical support based on agreement with the Sponsor. Twenty animals, divided into four groups (glass beaker) of five animals each were used at the test concentration and for the control. No statistical analysis was performed because of the lack of toxic effects. The EC50, NOEC, LOEC and EC100 values were determined directly from the raw data. All validity criteria were met during this study therefore the study was valid.
Under the conditions of this Daphnia magna acute immobilisation study, the 24h and 48h EC50 value is >100 % saturated solution (nominal), the 48h NOEC is 100 % saturated solution (nominal), the 48h LOEC is >100 % saturated solution (nominal) and the 48h EC100 value is >100 % saturated solution (nominal).
Based on the results of this study, the test material had no toxic effect at saturation; the EC50 and the LOEC are higher than the solubility level of the test item in the test medium.
Reference
VALIDITY
There were no immobilized animals in the control group and the dissolved oxygen concentration at the end of the test in control and test vessels was more than 3 mg/L. All validity criteria were within acceptable limits and therefore the study can be considered as valid.
