Sampling and analysis
- Analytical monitoring:
- yes
- Details on sampling:
- - Concentrations: All
- Sampling method: To 100 mL of the respective test solution samples, 2 g NaCl and 1000 µL HCl were added and the solution was extracted two times with dichloromethane (4 mL, 3 mL). The organic phase was collected into a 10 mL flask after drying with Na2SO4. The flask was filled up to 10 mL and the solution was measured via GC/FID. Tenfold enrichment was achieved.
- Sample storage conditions before analysis: No
Test solutions
- Vehicle:
- no
- Details on test solutions:
- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
- Method: The test item was mixed with nutrient medium at a nominal loading of 10 g/L, followed by vigorous stirring at 37 ± 2 °C for 7 days. This procedure was chosen to maximise concentrations of the test material, which in itself is known to be poorly soluble, but hydrolyses rapidly, hence generating a solution of several, largely non-identifiable, breakdown products.
- Eluate: N.a.
- Differential loading: N.a.
- Controls: Blank control
- Chemical name of vehicle: N.a. - no vehicle used
- Evidence of undissolved material: Yes; in experiment 1 (limit test) the presence of undissolved test material on test vessel surfaces suggested that mortality was caused by physical interaction with the fish; therefore, the experiment was considered as invalid and had to be repeated; in all repeat trials any undissolved test material was removed by ensuring phase separtion (if necessary) and using exclusively the aqueous (upper) phase of the stock solution.

Any other information on results incl. tables
- Sublethal observations / clinical signs:
A general observation in both the limit and the full tests was considerable variation in chromatographic peak areas of the breakdown products, despite identical handling for preparation of the stock solutions. This indicates that hydrolytical degradation of PEROXAN NPO follows no uniform and predictable pattern.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Remarks:
- Control mortality was zero; dissolved oxygen ≥ 77 % throughout the test (criterion: ≥ 60 %); pH varied by ≥ 0.8 units (criterion: ≥ 1 unit).
- Executive summary:
In a 96-h acute toxicity study, zebra fish (Danio rerio) were exposed to bis(3,5,5-trimethylhexanoyl) peroxide at nominal concentrations of 0 (control), 2.5, 4.0, 6.3, 10, and 16 mg/L under semi-static conditions (renewal after 48 h). Actual concentrations (geometric means) of total dissolved test material were 0 (control), 1.46, 2.18, 3.44, 7.28, and 11.15 mg/L, determined from measured concentrations of the hydrolysis product 2,4,4-trimethylpentan-1-ol and its relative proportion among degradation products. The 96-h LC50was 7.3 mg/L (total dissolved test material). The LC100 and LC0 values, based on mortality, were 11.15 and 3.44 mg/L, respectively. Sublethal effects were not observed. Based on the results of this study, bis(3,5,5-trimethylhexanoyl) peroxide would not be classified as toxic to aquatic life in accordance with the classification system of the CLP Regulation.
This toxicity study is considered as acceptable and satisfies the guideline requirement for an acute fish toxicity study.
