- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION
A stock solution was prepared by dissolving the test item in test medium A stock solution at a loading rate of 0.1008 g test item per 1000 ml was prepared by directly adding the test item to the test medium. This stock solution was stirred (700 rpm) using a magnetic stirrer for 15 min at ambient temperature in the dark. Thereafter this stock solution was left to settle for 40 minutes. The stock solution was visually examined for undissolved/particulate matter in the free water column. No undissolved/particulate matter was
observed and therefore stock solution was used for preparation of test solutions.
After temperature adaptation of the test solutions, 3.488, 1.744 or 1.081 mL of the algal preculture (Raphidocelis subcapitata) were added to each of the volumetric flasks containing
1000, 500 or 310 mL of the test solutions, respectively to achieve an algal cell concentration of approximately 0.3 x 10x4 cells/mL. These manipulations were performed under a laminar flow box. The test solutions were homogenised by manual shaking 15 times overhead, before adding 100±5 mL of the test media to each test vessel to ensure a homogeneous distribution of the algal cells. - Test organisms (species):

- ANALYTICAL RESULT
At time 0 hours, the measured concentrations ranged between 96-108% of the nominal concentrations. After 72 hours exposure, the test concentrations decreased to levels ofFor each concentration level the geometric mean concentration was calculated using the test item concentrations measured at the start (0 hours) and the end of the exposure period (72 hours). Concentrations determined to be The following geometric mean concentrations were determined: 1.74, 2.48, 3.28, 14.0, and 35.2 mg test item/L.
BIOLOGICAL RESULTS:
A clear concentration-response relationship was observed for the biological parameter yield during the exposure period, and a weak concentration-response relationship was observed for the biological parameter growth rate.
- Inhibition of Growth Rate: The EC50 for growth rate of Raphidocelis subcapitata was stated to be >100 mg test item/L, equivalent to > 35.2 mg Reaction mass of diethyl adipate and diethyl glutarate and diethyl
succinate/L based on measured concentrations. The NOEC based on nominal concentration appeared to be 25.0 mg test item/L, equivalent to 3.28 mg Reaction mass of diethyl adipate and diethyl glutarate and diethyl succinate/L based on measured concentrations. (see table 1)
- Inhibition of Yield: The EC50 for yield of Raphidocelis subcapitata was stated to be >100 mg test item/L, equivalent to >35.2 mg Reaction mass of diethyl adipate and diethyl glutarate and diethyl
succinate/L based on measured concentrations. The NOEC based on nominal concentration appeared to be 25.0 mg test item/L, equivalent to 3.28 mg Reaction mass of diethyl adipate and diethyl glutarate and diethyl succinate/L based on measured concentrations. (see table 2)
Observations
In all of the concentration levels (control and test solutions), no deformed and/or damaged algal cells were observed during microscopic inspection. - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- The data were evaluated by the Shapiro-VVilk's Test for normal distribution, and by Levene's Test for homogeneity of variances. The Williams Multiple Sequential t-test was applied to find out whether there were significant differences between the growth of algae in the controls and the algae exposed to the test item concentration.
Non-linear regression analyses (3-param. normal CDF analyses) was used to determine of the concentration-response function.
The statistical software package ToxRat 3.2 Professional (ToxRat Solutions GmbH, Naheweg 15, D-52477 Alsdorf) was used for these calculations.
The statistical analysis was performed using nominal concentrations as well as mean measured concentrations. - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- At the highest tested concentration level (100 mg/L), the percentage inhibition was <40% for the yield and was <10% for the growth rate. Therefore, the EyC50 (yield), the ErC50 and the ErC10 (growth rate) were stated to be >100 mg/L, equivalent to >35.2 mg Reaction mass of diethyl adipate and diethyl glutarate and diethyl succinate/L based on measured concentrations.
The NOEC for the growth rate and yield based on nominal concentration appeared to be 25.0 mg test item/L, equivalent to 3.28 mg Reaction mass of diethyl adipate and diethyl glutarate and diethyl succinate/L based on measured concentrations. - Executive summary:
The toxic effect of the test item on the growth of the freshwater green algal species Raphidocelis subcapitata (formerly known as Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata) was investigated in a 72‑hour static test according to OECD Guideline 201 (2006; Annex 5 corrected 28 July 2011) The study was compliant with the GLP. The objective was to determine the NOEC, EC10 and EC50 for both inhibition of growth rate and inhibition of yield.
Based on results of a preliminary range-finding test, Raphidocelis subcapitata was exposed to the test item over a range of nominal concentrations of 6.25, 12.5, 25.0, 50.0 and 100 mg test item/L (three replicate flasks per concentration) and a control (six replicate flasks) for 72 hours, under constant illumination and shaking at a temperature of 24± 1 °C. Two additional test vessels with test solutions at 100 mg//l without algae were performed for stability purposes, one protected from light.
Samples of the algal populations were removed daily and Algal biomass determined for each control and test solutions.
Samples from the test solutions were analysed to determine actual levels of the test item in solution at start of exposure period (time 0 hours) and at the end of the exposure at 72 hours.
At time 0 hours the measured concentrations range between 96-108% of the nominal concentrations. After 72 hours exposure, the test concentrations decrease to levels of < LOD (Limit of Detection - 12% of the nominal concentrations. Since the measured concertation remained not stable within ±20% throughout the exposure period, the biological results are also reported based on geometric mean measured concentrations at each concentration level.
Stability samples without algae showed no decline of test item concentration throughout the exposure period. The determined recovery was 93% (test solutions at 100 mg test item/L) of nominal concentration. This indicates that the decrease of test item is correlated to the presence of algae cells in the test solutions.
At the highest tested concentration level (100 mg/L), the percentage inhibition was <40% for the yield and was <10% for the growth rate. Therefore, the EyC50 (yield), the ErC50 and the ErC10 (growth rate) were stated to be >100 mg/L, equivalent to >35.2 mg Reaction mass of diethyl adipate and diethyl glutarate and diethyl succinate/L based on measured concentrations.
The NOEC for the growth rate and yield based on nominal concentration appeared to be 25.0 mg test item/L, equivalent to 3.28 mg Reaction mass of diethyl adipate and diethyl glutarate and diethyl succinate/L based on measured concentrations.
The three validity criteria of the OECD guideline 201 were fulfilled, therefore this study is considered as reliable without restrictions.

Description of key information
The toxicity of the Reaction mass of diethyl adipate and diethyl glutarate and diethyl succinate to the freshwater green algae Raphidocelis subcapitata (formerly known as Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata), was investigated in a GLP-compliant study performed in accordance with OECD Guideline No. 201.
Under the conditions of the study, at the highest tested concentration level (100 mg/L), the percentage inhibition was <40% for the yield and was <10% for the growth rate. Therefore, the EyC50 (yield), the ErC50 and the ErC10 (growth rate) were stated to be >100 mg/L, equivalent to >35.2 mg Reaction mass of diethyl adipate and diethyl glutarate and diethyl succinate/L based on measured concentrations.
The NOEC for the growth rate and yield based on nominal concentration appeared to be 25.0 mg test item/L, equivalent to 3.28 mg Reaction mass of diethyl adipate and diethyl glutarate and diethyl succinate/L based on measured concentrations
