Description of key information
Under the experimental conditions, the 48-hour EL50 of the test substance (75 % t-butylperoxyisobutyrateinisododecane) in a static test system is 231 mg/L expressed as initial loading rate, corresponding to 72.5 mg/L expressed as actual concentration (calculated from geometric means of measured concentrations in the saturated solutions obtained from the loading rates tested), for Daphnia magna.

Additional information
The acute toxicity of the test substance (75 % t-butyl peroxy isobutyrate in isododecane) was evaluated in the Cladoceran, Daphnia magna STRAUS using a 48-hour static test according to OECD guideline No. 202 and EU method C.2. As the test item is a mixture of poorly soluble components, the water-accomodated fraction (WAF) procedure was applied to prepare the test solutions. A preliminary test which included a limit test and a range-finding test preceded the definitive test. Five loading rates of the test substance were used together with a control at: 0, 50, 100, 200, 400 and 800 mg/L. Twenty daphnids (in four replicates of five) were exposed to each loading rate for 48 hours and immobilization was recorded at 0, 24 and 48 hours.
Initial concentrations of the test item measured in the definitive test solutions were within ± 20% of the corresponding nominal values. The test item was not stable under our experimental conditions since its concentration fell below 80% of the initial value in all solutions during the test (measured concentrations ranged from 4% to 31% of the nominal values after 48 hours). All toxicity results could be based on initial loading rates and also on geometric means of measured concentrations (calculated from the test substance measurements) in test solutions during the corresponding exposure period, i.e. 24 or 48 hours.
Under our experimental conditions, the 48-hour EL50 of the test substance in a static test system is 231 mg/L expressed as initial loading rate, corresponding to (EC50) 72.5 mg/L expressed as actual concentration (calculated from geometric means of measured concentrations in the saturated solutions obtained from the loading rates tested), for Daphnia magna.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
