- Details on results:
- The results of the DOC analyses showed that at start of the test the test item was applied at an acceptable level based on the nominal concentrations. The degradation products were also still present at the end of the exposure period, but to a lesser extent than at start of exposure. Therefore, the biological results were reported based on nominal and on geometric mean test item concentrations.
The test item concentrations were not stable during the test period within 80-120% of the nominal concentration. - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- The most recent reference test with potassium dichromate performed in a separate study (Study No. IDA1711; November 2017) resulted in an EC50(24 h) of 0.74 mg/L.
According to the OECD guideline No. 202 (OECD, April 2004) EC50(24 h)-values for potassium dichromate obtained from different laboratories should range between 0.6 mg/L and 2.1 mg/L. The toxicity of the reference item is within this range. Therefore, the results of this reference test are acceptable and the test conditions are reliable and the sensitivity of the test system could be demonstrated. - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- Probit analysis using linear max. likelihood regression with immobility at 48 h
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Remarks:
- immobilisation and other abnormalities in the controls did not exceed 10% by the end of the test; dissolved oxygen concentration remained above 3 mg/L throughout the exposure period
- Conclusions:
- An EC 50 value of the parameter "immobility of daphnids" based on statistical evaluation of biological results and mean measured concentrations of 6.03 mg/L (95% confidence limit 4.16-8.45 mg/L) was measured. The test was conducted under static conditions for 48 hours.
- Executive summary:
The study was performed according to OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals No. 202 'Daphnia sp., Acute Immobilization Test'.
A series of concentrations of the test item in aqueous solution (100, 45.5, 20.7, 9.39, 4.27 and 1.94 mg test item /L in geometrical series)
was prepared, and the test organisms were exposed to these concentrations as well as to controls without the test item for a period of 48 hours under static conditions. During the test period the test solutions were not aerated. The daphnids were not fed. Those animals not able to swim within 15 seconds after gentle agitation of the test vessel were considered to be immobile. The data obtained were analysed in order to estimate the concentration that would cause a x% immobilisation, i.e. ECx (e.g. EC50, EC20, EC10). To verify the nominally applied concentrations, samples were taken from the test solutions and analytically measured (DOC determination). The results of the DOC analyses showed that at start of the test the test item was applied at an acceptable level based on the nominal concentrations. The degradation products were also still present at the end of the exposure period, but to a lesser extent than at start of exposure. Therefore, the biological results were reported based on nominal and on geometric mean test item concentrations. The test item concentrations were not stable during the test period within 80-120% of the nominal concentration. An EC 50 value of the parameter "immobility of daphnids" based on statistical evaluation of biological results and mean measured concentrations of 6.03 mg/L (95% confidence limit 4.16-8.45 mg/L) was measured. The test was conducted under static conditions for 48 hours. The toxicity of the reference item (24 h-EC50 0.74 mg/L) was within this range. All validity criteria were fullfilled. This toxicity study is classified as acceptable and satisfies the guideline requirements for the acute Daphnia study.
Reference
Analytical Results:
Due to rapid decomposition of test item in the test solutions, no 2,2-dimethylthiazolidine could be detected by GC/FID in any of the test solution samples at concentrations higher than 0.619 mg/L, which was used as the lowest standard concentration during this study. Therefore, a surrogate quantification of the actual test concentrations was performed by DOC measurement.

Description of key information
According to OECD Guideline 202 an EC 50 value of the parameter "immobility of daphnids" based on statistical evaluation of biological results and mean measured concentrations of 6.03 mg/L (95% confidence limit 4.16-8.45 mg/L) was measured. The test was conducted under static conditions for 48 hours.

Additional information
The samples from the biological test were extracted with dichloromethane after addition of internal standard. The organic extract was dried by sodium sulphate and analysed by gas chromatography and FID-detection. Since the test item showed fast degradation (hydrolysis) in aqueous solution within 24 hours, a detection of the test item was in fact performed but was found to be not expedient. Due to the instability of the test item it was not possible to detect the test item with any analytical instrumentation. Additionally, gas chromatography which was used for the analysis of the test item did not show any peaks of potential metabolites.
Therefore, an additional analytical method was used to detect the degradation products of the test item by measuring the dissolved organic carbon content (DOC).
The results of the DOC analyses show that at start of the test the test item was applied at an acceptable level based on the nominal concentrations. The degradation products were also still present at the end of the exposure period, but to a lesser extent than at start of exposure. Therefore, the biological results were reported based on nominal and on geometric mean test item concentrations. The test item concentrations of 2,2-Dimethylthiazolidinewere not stable during the test period within 80-120% of the nominal concentration. According to information from the sponsor, acetone is one hydrolysis product. As this substance has a high Henry´s law constant, the lower recoveries found in test samples (based on DOC) might reflect evaporation of acetone during preparation of the test solution and during the performance of the test.
