Additional information

The substance was tested as WAFs for its acute toxicity to Daphnia magna over a period of 48 hours in a static system (RCC 1996). The study was performed according to the OECD Guideline No. 202 Part I and GLP requirements.

This study examined three WAFs with loadings of 100, 33 and 10 mg/L on two groups of ten daphnids per loading. Because of the large number of components present in the test article, no complete quantitative analysis could be performed. Instead, a HPLC profile of the UV-absorbing components was done in a separate study. No immobility of Daphnia magna occurred at loadings of 10 and 33 mg/L. At the 100-mg/L loading, no immobility was observed after 24 hours of exposure, but 30 % immobilization was noted after 48 hours of exposure.

Based on the above observations and expressed as loading concentrations, after 48 hours of exposure the EC0 was >= 33 mg/L and the EC50 was >100 mg/L.

 

In a screening test according to OECD 202 Part I, daphnids were exposed for 48 h to a 100 mg/L solution of the test item stirred by ultra-sonic or as filtrate of this solution (NOTOX 1996). In none of the treatments, animals were immobilised. The LC0 is therefore >= 100 mg/L and the LC50 is > 100 mg/L.
