Test material

Constituent 1
Chemical structure
Reference substance name:
1-chlorotetradecane
EC Number:
219-368-0
EC Name:
1-chlorotetradecane
Cas Number:
2425-54-9
Molecular formula:
C14H29Cl
IUPAC Name:
1-chlorotetradecane
Test material form:
liquid

Sampling and analysis

Analytical monitoring:
yes
Details on sampling:
Samples was taken directly from the test vessel. Each test solutions has been analysed at 0 h and 24 h.

Test solutions

Vehicle:
no
Details on test solutions:
1 g/L test substance in water has been stirred for 18 h and filtered.
A stability test showed that the test substance concentration is not stable after 72 h. Therefore, the test substance solution was renewed daily.

Test organisms

Test organisms (species):
Danio rerio (previous name: Brachydanio rerio)
Details on test organisms:
TEST ORGANISM
- Common name: zebrafish
- Source: West Aquarium, Bad Lauterberg
- Length: 3 cm +/- 0.5 cm

- Acclimation conditions: flow-through system
- Type and amount of food during acclimation: TetraMin, daily 1% of body weight
- Feeding frequency during acclimation:daily
- Treatment with malachite green (3x per week) and 14 days quarantine
- Health during acclimation (any mortality observed): healthy stock before test begin, mortality <= 5% n
- no feeding during test

Details on test conditions:
TEST SYSTEM
- Test vessel: 20 L filled with 10 L
- Renewal rate of test solution: daily
- aeration: continous in test vessel
- No. of organisms per vessel: 10 fish/test vessel
- No. of vessels per concentration (replicates): 4
- Biomass loading rate: 10 fish/vessel, ~0.31 g/Fisch
- Source/preparation of dilution water: drinking water

OTHER TEST CONDITIONS
- Adjustment of pH: no
- Photoperiod: 16/ 8 h

EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED: mortality, determinde after 24 h, 48 h, 72 h, and 96 h

Reference substance (positive control):
not specified

Results and discussion

Effect concentrations
Key result
Duration:
96 h
Dose descriptor:
LC50
Effect conc.:
> 0.24 mg/L
Nominal / measured:
meas. (arithm. mean)
Conc. based on:
test mat.
Basis for effect:
mortality (fish)
Details on results:
The test substance concentration was not stable. Therefore the arith. mean of the test substance concentration after 0h and 24 h has been calculated. The highest attainable test substance concentration has been determined to 237 µg/L. No mortality has been observed in the control or with the test substance.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
not specified
Conclusions:
Within the highest concentration which could be obtained under the conditions of the test no mortality could be observed, thus the 96 h LC50 is > 0,24 mg/l.
All concentrations are based on the substance. The highest concentration under test conditions is 237 µg/l.
