- Description: Yellow Liquid - Analytical monitoring:
- yes
- Details on sampling:
- Aqueous samples (8 mL) were collected from the control and each surviving test concentration at 0 (fresh media) and 96 hours (old media) for analysis. The aqueous samples were diluted with acetonitrile, then diluted further with diluent (treated tap water:acetonitrile, 4:1, v/v) as required to bring the response within the calibration range. Duplicate samples were collected, one for chemical analysis and one as a ‘back-up’ should further analysis be required.
- Vehicle:
- yes
- Details on test solutions:
- Preliminary analysis in another study with this UVCB test substance indicated that the test substance was soluble in aqueous test media. Test solution preparation followed the method developed in that study. At the start of the test, the test substance was weighed onto a glass slide and placed in treated tap water. The preparation was stirred for ca 23 hours at a rate such that a slight dimple was formed at the surface. After the stirring period, the preparation was allowed to settle for ca 1 hour after which the aqueous phase was removed by careful mid-depth siphoning to give the 100 mg/L test concentration. The stock solutions were diluted with treated tap water to give the remaining test concentrations. The control solution consisted only of treated tap water.
At the start of the test, the 100 mg/L test concentration was observed to be a slightly cloudy white homogenous dispersion that omitted an odour. The control and remaining test concentrations were observed to be colourless solutions with no odour. The test preparations were observed to be colourless solutions throughout the duration of the test. From 24 hours onwards for the remainder of the test, the control and all test concentrations were observed to be colourless solutions with no odour. - Test organisms (species):

TEST CONCENTRATIONS
Analysis of the freshly prepared media at 0 hours resulted in measured concentrations of 64% to 71% of nominal value. The initial 0-hour results passed analytical batch acceptance criteria, but were below 80% of nominal, so the duplicate 0-hour samples were analysed alongside the 96-hour samples. Analysis of the samples collected 96 hours resulted in measured concentrations of 63% to 94% and analysis of the duplicate 0-hour samples confirmed the initial results; however, the initial 96-hour and duplicate 0-hour sample analysis failed the analytical batch acceptance criteria.
The chromatography column was changed to address this issue, but it was not possible to re-establish the chromatography seen previously due to apparent differences in performance between the old and new columns. Results from the range-finding test, although generated using the method before it was fully validated, indicated that the test substance would be stable in test media over a 96-hour period. As the initial 0-hour results were considered valid, but were below 80% of nominal value, the results from the definitive exposure were based on the initial 0-hour measured concentrations: 7.1, 12, 22, 38 and 71 mg/L.- Key result

- Conclusions:
- Based on the initial 0-hour measured concentrations, the 96-hour LC50 was determined to be 18 mg/L and the No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC) was determined to be 12 mg/L. The lowest concentration at which 100% mortality occurred was 38 mg/L.
- Executive summary:
The study was conducted in accordance with OECD Guideline No. 203, under GLP conditions to assess the toxicity the 96-hour acute toxicity of the substance to rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). The definitive test was conducted at nominal test concentrations of 10, 18, 32, 56 and 100 mg/L under static conditions at a single nominal loading rate of 100 mg/L with a concurrent control group, each consisting of a single 20 L constructed glass aquaria containing 15 L of media. Following acclimation to the test conditions for at least 12 days, seven fish were added to each test vessel. TheDaphnia magnain each test vessel were observed for mortality and sub-lethal effects at ca. 3 hours and at 24-hour intervals (24, 48, 72 and 96 hours) throughout the duration of the test. The fish were not fed during the test.
Test solutions were analysed at 0 and 96 hours using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with time of flight mass spectrometry (TOF) based on quantitation of phosphoric acid dimethyl ester constituent, the marker constituent with the most singularly abundant peak.Effect concentrations were based on the initial 0-hour measured concentrations: 7.1, 12, 22, 38 and 71 mg/L.
The 96-hour LC50was determined to be 18 mg/L and the No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC) was determined to be 12mg/L.The lowest concentration at which 100% mortality occurred was 38 mg/L.
