- Conclusions:
- The test substance was not toxic to freshwater algae at loading rates up to and including 1000 mg/L nominal WAF. The 72 and 96 hour ErC50 and EbC50 are considered to be >1000mg/l
- Executive summary:
In a 96-hour acute toxicity study, the cultures of Selenastrum capricornutum (now Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata) were exposed to test substance (115733-09-0) at nominal concentrations of 100, 300 and 1000 mg/l as WAF loadings under static conditions in accordance with the EPA OTS 797.1050.
Daily cell counts were made visually by means of direct microscopic examination with a hemocytometer.
This study is classified as reliable without restriction (Klimisch Code 1) and satisfies the guideline requirements for a toxicity study to aquatic algae and cyanobacteria.
Results Synopsis
Test Organism: Selenastrum capricornutum (now Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata)
Test Type: Static
At 72-hours biomass measurements in the treatments were 80%, 62% and 70% of the control at 100, 300 and 1000 mg/L, respectively.
At 96-hours biomass measurements in the treatments were 70%, 66% and 88% of the control at 100, 300 and 1000 mg/L, respectively.
72-hour and 96-hour Effective Loading Rate (EL50) = >1000 mg/L nominal WAF.
72-hour and 96-hour No Observed Effect Levels = 1000 mg/L nominal WAF based on both growth rate and biomass.
Reference
The test vessels containing 1,000mg/L WAFs were slightly cloudy at the start of the test and at 24hours. The algal population grew well during the test, resulting in an average of 1,711,000cells/ml in the control (doubling time= 13.0hours).
Cell growth data from the acute toxicity test with the WAF of 3 concentrations of substance and the freshwater alga,Selenastrum capricornutum are provided below with % growth rates compared to control are shown below at time points 0, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours.

Based on the number of cells/ml or the average specific growth rate, the 72 and 96 hour EC50s are >1,000 mg/L.
No effects (size differences, unusual cell shapes, colors, flocculations, adherence of cells to test containers, or aggregation of cells) were noted. Based on the number of cells/ml or the average specific growth rate, the 72 and 96 hour NOEC values are 1,000 mg/L.
Description of key information
The toxicity of the substance has been measured experimentally with freshwater algae. Due to the extremely low water solubility all studies have been conducted using Water Accomodated Fractions and completed as limit tests.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- EC50 for freshwater algae:
- 1 000 mg/L
- EC10 or NOEC for freshwater algae:
- 1 000 mg/L
Additional information
The EC50 in freshwater algae is considered to be >1000mg/l. Two of the studies available support this conclusion, while the one remaining study did not exceed 100 mg/l, although the data support the conclusion that the EC50 is above this dose level. As this dose level has been included in the other studies conducted, it is considered acceptable to consider this as supporting data but to conclude that the highest dose level attained from studies considered reliable is both appropriate and adequately supported by the data.
The substance is, therefore, considered not toxic to algae. Nevertheless, adequate controls will be in place during production and use to ensure that the substance is not released to the environment.
The toxicity of the substance has not been assessed using marine algal species, but it is considered likely to be similar to freshwater species.
