Description of key information

The acute toxicity of Cyclobutanate towards Daphnia magna was investigated according to OECD TG 202 under GLP. Daphnids were exposed to mean measured concentrations of 0.12, 0.26, 0.43, 0.68, 1.1, 2.1, 3.8, 6.6 and 12.4 mg/l for 48 hours under static conditions. The test material solutions were prepared by stirring an excess (100 mg/1) of test material in reconstituted water and then removing any undissolved test material by filtration. This "saturated" solution was then further diluted, as necessary, to provide the remaining test groups. Chemical analysis of the test solutions throughout the test showed measured test concentrations were between 81% and 123% of the nominal test concentrations at 0 and 48 hours. Although the test material was suspected to be volatile, no significant loss of test material was shown for each of the concentrations over the test period. It was considered that the use of completely sealed vessels with minimal headspace helped to prevent losses of the test material.

The results are based on the mean measured test concentrations as opposed to time-weighted mean measured test concentrations. The 48-Hour EC50 for the test material to Daphnia magna based on the mean measured test concentrations was 4.7 mg/l with 95% confidence limits of 4.1- 5.3 mg/l.
