EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED (with observation intervals if applicable) : Determination or calculation of the median effective concen trations (EC 50) and observations ((immobility, pH, Temperature, dissolved oxygen content) ) of the symptoms were done after 24 and 48 hours.

VALIDITY OF THE TEST:
1. In the control, including the control containing the solubilising agent, not more that 10 percent of the daphnids should have been immobiliz ed.
2. The dissolved oxygen concentration at the end of the test should be 3 mg/l in control and test vessels
Reference substance (positive control):
not specified
Duration:
48 h
Dose descriptor:
EC50
Effect conc.:
> 100 mg/L
Nominal / measured:
nominal
Conc. based on:
test mat.
Basis for effect:
mobility
Details on results:
A 48 h study was conducted for test material on test daphnia, at a test concentrations of 100 mg/L. The daphnids were moving slowly as compared to control.No Immobility were found in the control beaker. EC50 (48 hours) Experimental = >100 mg/L

Conclusions:
Based on nominal concentrations, experimental median effective Concentrations [EC-50 (48 h)] for test material on test daphnia was found to be >100 mg/L.

Executive summary:

Daphnia sp., Acute Immobilization Test according to OECD Guideline 202 was conducted for test material to assess the toxic effects of the test compound on the test Daphnids. Beaker containing 20ml of media with 10 Daphinds. The test substance was soluble in water. Therefore, the test solution was prepared by dissolving 50 mg of the test substance in 500 ml of ADaM’s media. Achieving test concentrations of 100 mg/L, respectively.

A semi-static procedure was used for the study. The nominal concentration selected for the experiment was 100 mg/L and test Daphnids were exposed to this concentration for 48hours. The Effective concentrations EC50 was found to be >100 mg/L .

Thus, according to the CLP Criteria for aquatic classification of the substance, it is concluded that test material does not exhibit toxicity to aquatic invertebrate (daphnia magna) and therefore it cannot be classified as hazardous substance.
