- - Biological Results: After 72 h at termination of the test, a dose response relation was observed for the inhibition of growth rate and yield from nominal concentrations of 0.0100 to 100 mg/L. The inhibition of growth rate peaked in 38.3 % and the inhibition of yield peaked in 80.9 % at a nominal concentration of 100 mg/L. The cells were considered normal for the control and up to and including a nominal test item concentration of 10.0 mg/L. No cells were observed at 100 mg/L nominal test item concentration.
- Analytical Results: The measured initial concentration of test item ranged from 62 % to 90 % of nominal. In the aged samples the measured content was between < LOD and 80 % of nominal. - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- - Results with reference substance valid? Yes
- EC50: most recent test: yield 0.976 mg/L (nominal), growth rate 1.64 mg/L (nominal)
- Other: Significant inhibitory effects were determined for all parameters at test item concentrations of 0.800 mg/L and above. - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The overall LOEC was therefore determined to be 10.0 mg/L (nominal) or 6.85 mg/L (measured) and the corresponding NOEC was set at 1.00 mg/L (nominal) or 0.506 mg/L (measured).
As the maximum inhibition growth rate was less than 50 %, no reliable EC50-value for growth rate (ErC50) was determinable. Hence the ECr50 was not calculated but considered to be > 100 mg/L (nominal) or > 66.2 mg/L (measured). - Executive summary:
The effects of test item on the growth of the single cell green alga Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata were determined according to OECD Guideline 201. A static main test with nominal concentrations of 100, 10.0, 1.00, 0.100, 0.0100, 0.00100 mg/Land control was performed. Six replicates were employed for the control and three for each test item concentration. Initial cell densities of 5E+03 cells/mL were employed for the individual replicates. The increase of cell numbers was assessed over a test period of 72 hours.
Analytical samples were taken and analysed in the main testfrom control and all test item concentrations at 0 hours (initial value) from fresh test solutions and after 24 hours, 48 hours and72 hours from aged solutions. The measured initial concentration of test item ranged from 62% to 90% of nominal. In the aged samples the measured content was between < LOD and 80% of nominal. The corresponding geometric mean test concentrations are: 0, 0.000276, 0.00277, 0.0422, 0.506, 6.85 and 66.2 mg/L.
Significant inhibitory effects were determined for growth rate and yield at test item concentrations of 10.0 mg/L (nominal) or 6.85 mg/L (measured) and above. The overall LOEC was therefore determined to be 10.0 mg/L (nominal) or 6.85 mg/L (measured), the corresponding NOEC was set at 1.00 mg/L (nominal) and 0.506 mg/L (measured). The EC10-value for growth rate (ErC10) was determined to be 0.364 mg/L (nominal) or 0.167 mg/L (measured). The EC10-value for yield (EyC10) was 0.0191 mg/L (nominal) or 0.00665 mg/L (measured).
As the EC10 -value for growth rate appeared to be below the NOEC determined, the NOEC is the value that is to be used further on for risk assessment purposes. The NOEC was associated with approximately 15% inhibition of the growth rate.
As the maximum inhibition growth rate was less than 50 %, no reliable EC50-value for growth rate (ErC50) was determinable. Hence the ECr50 was not calculated but considered to be > 100 mg/L (nominal) or > 66.2 mg/L (measured). The EC50-value for yield (EyC50) was 2.36 mg/L (nominal) or 1.28 mg/L (measured).

Description of key information
For this endpoint, one study is available in which the toxicity of the test item to algae was assessed according to OECD 201.
Significant inhibitory effects were determined for growth rate and yield of algae at test item concentrations of 10.0 mg/L (nominal), corresponding to 6.85 mg/L measured, and above. The overall LOEC was therefore determined to be 10.0 mg/L (nominal) or 6.85 mg/L (measured), the corresponding NOEC was set at 1.00 mg/L (nominal) or 0.506 mg/L (measured). The EC10-value for growth rate (ErC10) was determined to be 0.364 mg/L (nominal) or 0.167 mg/L (measured). The EC10-value for yield (EyC10) was 0.0191 mg/L (nominal) and 0.00665 mg/L (measured). As the EC10 -value for growth rate appeared to be below the NOEC determined, the NOEC is the value that is to be used further on for risk assessment purposes. The NOEC was associated with approximately 15% inhibition of the growth rate.
As the maximum inhibition growth rate was less than 50 %, no reliable EC50-value for growth rate (ErC50) was determinable. Hence the ECr50 was not calculated but considered to be > 100 mg/L (nominal) or > 66.2 mg/L (measured). The EC50-value for yield (EyC50) was 2.36 mg/L (nominal) or 1.28 mg/L (measured).

Additional information
For this endpoint only one test is available. The effects of test item on the growth of the single cell green alga Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata were determined according to OECD 201. A static test with nominal concentrations of 100, 10.0, 1.00, 0.100, 0.0100, 0.00100 mg/L and control was performed. Six replicates were employed for the control and three for each test item concentration. Initial cell densities of 5E+03 cells/mL were employed for the individual replicates. The increase of cell numbers was assessed over a test period of 72 hours. The test was performed in 100 mL Erlenmeyer flasks each containing~ 50 mL test solution.
Analytical samples were taken and analysed in the main test from control and all test item concentrations at 0 hours (initial value) from fresh test solutions and after 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours from aged solutions. The measured initial concentration of test item ranged from 62% to 90% of nominal. In the aged samples the measured content was between< LOD and 80% of nominal.
Significant inhibitory effects were determined for growth rate and yield at test item concentrations of 10.0 mg/L (nominal) and 6.85 mg/L (measured) and above. The overall LOEC was therefore determined to be 10.0 mg/L (nominal) and 6.85 mg/L (measured), the corresponding NOEC was set at 1.00 mg/L (nominal) and 0.506 mg/L (measured). The EC10-value for growth rate (ErC10) was determined to be 0.364 mg/L (nominal) and 0.167 mg/L (measured). The EC10-value for yield (EyC10) was 0.0191 mg/L (nominal) and 0.00665 mg/L (measured). As the EC10 -value for growth rate appeared to be below the NOEC determined, the NOEC is the value that is to be used further on for risk assessment purposes. The NOEC was associated with approximately 15% inhibition of the growth rate.
As the maximum inhibition growth rate was less than 50 %, no reliable EC50-value for growth rate (ErC50) was determinable. Hence the ECr50 was not calculated but considered to be > 100 mg/L (nominal) or > 66.2 mg/L (measured). The EC50-value for yield (EyC50) was 2.36 mg/L (nominal) or 1.28 mg/L (measured).
