Sampling and analysis
- Analytical monitoring:
- yes
- Details on sampling:
- - Concentrations: the initial concentration of test substance in the samples was not specified
- Sampling method: not specified, homogenized aqeous samples were used. In total, three samples were anlysed: one analysed directly, while the other two samples had been subject to 14 days degradation.
- Sample storage conditions before analysis: not specified
Test solutions
- Vehicle:
- yes
- Remarks:
- Acetone
- Details on test solutions:
- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION:
The sample was decanted prior to testing and only the liquid phase was used. Because the test organism works optimally at a salinity of roughly 2% and within the pH-interval 6.8 -7.2, the salinity and pH of the samples were adjusted. NaOH was used to adjust the pH of the vehicle sample and original 'Spikad' sample; water samples '532-1 T1-1', '532-2 TI-2' and '532-2 T3-2' were adjusted as well but with unspecified acid.
- Chemical name of vehicle: acetone
- Water samples '532-1 T1-1', '532-2 TI-2' and '532-2 T3-2' were tested at 6.25, 12.5, 25, 50 and 100%; dilution water not specified.
Test organisms
- Test organisms (species):
- Vibrio fisheri
- Details on inoculum:
- - Test organisms: freeze-dried Vibrio fischeri bacteria, Lot No. 17K4276 (Modern Water)
- Pretreatment: the bacteria were reconstituted in Reconstitution Solution, Lot No. 16D4031 (Modern Water).
- Validity of the batch: qualification of the bacteria from this batch, performed on 16 November 2018, gave an EC50 of 17.6 mg/L phenol which is within the acceptance range (13.0 -26.0 mg/L), indicating that the bacteria batch is suitable for usage in testing.
Study design
- Test type:
- static
- Water media type:
- saltwater
- Remarks:
- Roughly 2% salinity
- Limit test:
- no
- Total exposure duration:
- 30 min
- Remarks on exposure duration:
- Test organisms were exposed for 5, 15 and 30 minutes
Test conditions
- Test temperature:
- not specified
- pH:
- 6.8-7.2
- Salinity:
- 2%
- Nominal and measured concentrations:
- Nominal concentrations:
The original sample was spiked with 9-fluorenone (0.06 mg/L) and 9-fluorenol (0.42 mg/L), concentrations below are % (v/v) of the samples in test water.
Original samples (spiked and not spiked): 0.02, 0.04, 0.09, 0.18, 0.35, 0.7 and 1.4 (% v/v).
Samples after degradation (1 non-spiked sample, 2 spiked samples): 6.25, 12.5, 25, 50 and 100 (% v/v).
These sample concentrations were not analysed for measured concentrations. Details from the analysis showed a good recovery of the original samples while the test substance was below reporting limits (< 1 μg/L) for the degraded samples. - Details on test conditions:
- TEST SYSTEM
- Details on the test system were not available.
- No. of vessels per concentration (replicates): 1 for acetone, spiked original sample, non-spiked sample from degradation test Day 14. 2 for spiked sample from degradation test Day 14.
TEST MEDIUM / WATER PARAMETERS
- Source/preparation of dilution water: water samples from Veolia Water Technologies-AnoxKaldnes were tested. No further details on the water samples was provided.
OTHER TEST CONDITIONS
- Adjustment of pH: yes, samples which fell outside the pH range of 6.8-7.2 were adjusted to fall within this range, using NaOH or unspecified acid. Original pH was 3.7 for the original sample and acetone and 7.2-7.4 for the degraded samples.
EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED: EC20 and EC50 values were determined.
The light emitted by the bacteria was registered after 5, 15 and 30 minutes of incubation with the various concentrations of the sample. Based on these results, a dose-response relationship was obtained and used to calculate EC20 and EC50 values. EC20 and EC50 values indicate the concentrations at which illumination by the bacteria is reduced by 20% and 50%, respectively.
EVALUATION OF RESULTS:
EC50 values, after 15 minutes of exposure, were assessed as follows: >70%: low toxicity, 20 -70%: medium toxicity, <20%: high toxicity. - Reference substance (positive control):
- no

- Based on the results, the originally prepared samples are determined to be highly toxic to Vibrio fischeri (EC50 <20% concentration). However, when the samples have undergone 14 days of degradation, they show medium to low toxicity to Vibrio fischeri. There is no significant difference between spiked and non-spiked degraded samples. Uncertainties in the Microtox test are relatively low and the samples have been run in parallels to rule out misreading (personal communication with the lab). - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- Not performed.
- Reported statistics and error estimates:
- Not reported.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- not specified
- Conclusions:
- Based on the results of a Microtoxicity study (ISO 11348-3) using the luminescent bacteria Vibrio fischeri, Fluoren-9-one can be considered highly toxic towards Vibrio fischeri. However, when the substance has undergone degradation (14 days), it shows low to medium toxicity towards Vibrio fischeri. These results can be used as a screening for ecotoxicology tests but cannot be extrapolated to other (aquatic) organisms.
