Mortalities of parent Daphnia during the culture period were recorded daily in a semi-quantitative way. The neonates were separated from their parent Daphnia by filtration prior to the acute test

Effective concentrations ranged from 94.3 % to 103.8 % in the freshly prepared media and from 93.0 % to 103.6 % in the media after 24 hours of exposure.
The EC 50 was calculated by probit analysis using the statistics programme ToxRatPro Version 2.10 (released 2010-09-10). - Validity criteria fulfilled:

- Conclusions:
- After 48 hours an EC50 of 7.5 mg/L was determined for test substance towards Daphnia under exposure conditions. The results are expressed in terms of nominal concentrations as sum of Reaction mass of methyl 2-methylbenzene-1-sulfonate and methyl toluene-4-sulfonate, o-toluenesulfonic acid and p-toluenesulfonic acid. Effective concentrations ranged from 94.3 % to 103.8 % in the freshly prepared media and from 93.0 % to 103.6 % in the media after 24 hours of exposure.
- Executive summary:
A study was performed to assess the acute toxicity of the test substance to Daphnia magna STRAUS under semi-static conditions.
It was conducted in accordance with the Council Regulation (EC) No 440/2008, Method C.2 ‘Acute toxicity for Daphnia’ (2008) which is equivalent to OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals No. 202 'Daphnia sp., Acute Immobilisation Test' (adopted April 13, 2004).
A range finding test preceded the main test. It provided information about the range of concentrations which were used in the main test. The following nominal concentrations of the test item were tested in the range finding test: 0.1, 1, 10 and 100 mg/L.
The Daphnia were exposed to a range of concentrations, nominally 0.40, 0.88, 1.9, 4.3, 9.4, 20.7, 45.45 and 100 mg/L of the test substance in dilution water. Auxiliaries used to prepare the test media were an ultra turrax and a magnetic stirrer. 20 animals were exposed per concentration/control in 4 vessels a 5 neonates. The test was conducted as a semi-static test with daily renewal of test medium. During the test a temperature range of 18 - 22 °C was maintained in the test vessels, with a maximum temperature fluctuation of +/- 1 °C in each individual test. The temperature, the pH and the oxygen values were measured every day in the freshly prepared media and in the media after 24 hours of exposure.
Observations were made on the swimming ability and the immobilisation rate, respectively, after 24 and 48 hours of exposure. The EC 50 was calculated by probit analysis using the statistics programme ToxRatPro Version 2.10 (released 2010-09-10). An 48h-EC50 of 7.5 mg/L was determined.
The results are expressed in terms of nominal concentrations as sum of Reaction mass of methyl 2-methylbenzene-1-sulfonate and methyl toluene-4-sulfonate, o-toluenesulfonic acid and p-toluenesulfonic acid. Effective concentrations ranged from 94.3 % to 103.8 % in the freshly prepared media and from 93.0 % to 103.6 % in the media after 24 hours of exposure.
