- Executive summary:
An OECD 211 study was performed using five concentrations of dimethylsebacate ranging from 0.05 to 4.0 mg/L. Ten daphnia each were exposed to the test item and the control for 21 days. The offspring of the animals was counted each day. Reproduction in the treatments 0.05 mg/L – 1.33 mg/L was in the same range as in the control whereas in the treatment 4.0 mg/L no reproduction was observed. Significant mortality was not observed, neither of the parent animals nor of the new-born animals.
The content of the test item in the test solutions was determined using GC determination. The test item concentration was measured at the beginning in the freshly prepared solutions and after 24 hours in the used solutions. Additionally, the test item concentration was measured on day 7 and on day 14 at medium renewal in the new and the old solutions and on day 20 in the new solution and on day 21 in the old solution.
The correlation between nominal and measured concentration in the fresh prepared solutions was good. Because the test item is not stable in aqueous medium, only in the highest concentrated treatment test item was detectable in the old solution at every measuring point.
Therefore, the determination of the results was based on the arithmetic mean of the geometric means of the measured concentrations at the start and end of each media renewal period. Because only in the highest concentrated treatment inhibition of reproduction could be observed, only the 2 highest test concentrations were used for statistical evaluation. For treatment 1.33 mg/L only at one sampling point test item was detectable in the old solution. Therefore, the LOD (0.04 mg/L) was used for calculation of the geometric mean. NOEC and EC10 for neonate production were 0.32 and 0.33 mg/L respectively.
According to the OECD guideline, the offspring of dead animals must be taken into account if the death is caused by toxicity of the test item. Only inadvertent and/or accidental parental mortality should be excluded from evaluation. Because no toxicity could be observed, the offspring of deceased parent animals was excluded from the calculation of total offspring per treatment.
