Test organisms (species):

Daphnia magna

Details on test organisms:

The method uses newly hatched animals, 6 to 24 hours odl, which are incubated for 48 hours in a gradient of the test item. The animals were taken from Toxion's continuous culture of Daphnia magna. The culture originates from NIVA, Norway, and is on working days fed with approximately 50 - 75 ML green algae Pseudokirchneriella subspicata. A qualification test on the Daphnia magna culture was made on the 15th of May 2008 to assure the quality of the test animals. EC50 was 1.1 mg/L, which confirmed that the culture was suitable as a test organism according to OECD TG no. 202.

The EC50 was determined by graphic interpolation for the 48 hours of exposure to the test item Polyol R3530. The toxicity increased slightly during the time of exposure.

Table: Nominal NOEC- and EC50 -values (mg/L) determined after 24 hours and 48 hours exposure for the test item Polyol R3530. The EC50 -values were calculated by means of graphic interpolation. Probit-analysis was not carried out due to lack of data. The NOEC-value is defined as the highest tested concentration where the percent immobilisation is >= 10 %.

Graphic interpolation	1000	1000	2460	1590

Validity criteria fulfilled:

yes

Conclusions:

Short-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates (Daphnia magna) was determined according to OECD method no. 202 and gave a 48 hour-EC50 = 1590 mg/L. Further, a 48 hour-NOEC = 1000 mg/L is reported (Perstorp, 2010).

Description of key information

The 48 hr EC50 were reported as >100 mg/l.

Additional information

Acute toxicity (48 hr) to aquatic invertebrates has been investigated with Daphnia magna in three independent tests, following procedures similar to or according to EU C.2 protocol or OECD 202. The 48 hr EC50 and EC0 were reported as >100 mg/l . Analytical verifiication performed in one study showed minimal loss of test material over the course of the exposure
