NOEC (growth rate; 72 h): 1.25 mg/L - Executive summary:
The substance isopropylamine was tested for algal toxicity in a reliable study performed compliant with GLP according to the German industrial standard test guideline DIN 38412, part 9. The study was statistically re-evaluated according to OECD 201 in 2007 (ECT Oekotoxikologie, 2007).
The study was performed using eight concentrations ranging from 0.156 to 20 mg/L, each tested in five replicates. Different exposure durations of 0, 24, 48, 72 and 96 h were tested (test system Desmodesmus subspicatus). The exposure duration of 72 h is considered for the key result. The cell concentration of each replicate was determined by measuring the absorption of the solutions with a spectral photometer. Since no calibration curve data were available, fluorescence data were equated with cell numbers. Yield, growth rate and integral of the biomass were determined from the cell densities at the respective observation times.
Analytical monitoring:
No chemical analysis of the test item concentrations was performed. However, based on the very high water solubility of the compound (miscible in a 1 : 1 ratio mixture (w/w) with water (at 20°C)), the very low adsorption potential (read across with n-butylamine (source): experimentally determined Koc from batch-equilibrium test: approx. 43.2 L/kg) and being not volatile (fully ionized at environmental pH based on a pKa of 10.8) it may be assumed with high confidence that the test item was stable during the test.
The following results were determined in this study:
EC50 (yield; 72 h): 4.13 (95% CI: 3.78-4.51) mg/L
EC10 (yield; 72 h) 0.887 (95% CI: 0.725-1.05) mg/L
NOEC (yield, 72 h): 1.25 mg/L
EC50 (growth rate; 72 h): 18.9 (18.2-19.6) mg/L
EC10 (growth rate; 72 h): 2.56 (2.41-2.70) mg/L
NOEC (growth rate, 72 h): 1.25 mg/L
EC50 (biomass integral; 72 h): 5.84 (4.94-6.97) mg/L
EC10 (biomass integral; 72 h): 1.13 (0.739-1.52) mg/L
NOEC (biomass integral): 0.625 mg/L
Reference
Statistical re-evaluation with ToxRatPro (v2.09): Alga, Growth inhibition test (OECD 201, EEC, ISO); see reference (ECT Oekotoxikologie GmbH, 2007).
The following nominal effect concentrations related to yield (EyC), growth rate (ErC), and biomass integral (EbC) were recalculated according to OECD TG 201 (adopted 23 Mar 2006) using the fluorescence values for inhibition of biomass from the original report. Since no calibration curve data were available, fluorescence data were equated with cell numbers.
Results are based on the arithmetic mean of five replicates for treatments 0.156 to 20 mg/L.
