Test material

Constituent 1
Reference substance name:
Reaction mass of (E)-1-chlorobut-2-ene and 3-chlorobut-1-ene
EC Number:
908-820-9
Molecular formula:
not applicable
IUPAC Name:
Reaction mass of (E)-1-chlorobut-2-ene and 3-chlorobut-1-ene
Specific details on test material used for the study:
Details on properties of test surrogate or analogue material (migrated information):
- Water solubility (under test conditions): not applicable, hydrolysis within hours
- Stability in water: hydrolysis within hours, three detected hydrolysis products (non-GLP pre-test) were detected and quanitfied but due to the low recovery after 72h in algal medlum indicated that a substantial part of further hydrolysis products was not accessible by gas chromatopgraphy

OTHER PROPERTIES (if relevant for this endpoint)
- Results of test for ready biodegradability: not readily biodegradable

Sampling and analysis

Analytical monitoring:
yes
Details on sampling:
DOC measurements due to the fast hydrolysis of both compounds

Test solutions

Vehicle:
no
Details on test solutions:
PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
- Method: Dilution of Stock solution of 100 mg/L
- Due to high volatility of test substance, a 2000 mL volumetric flask was filled with 2000 mL culture medium, 200 mg test substance was added and vessel was directly closed. Preparation was stirred for 5 min with a magnetic stirrer

Test organisms

Test organisms (species):
Desmodesmus subspicatus (previous name: Scenedesmus subspicatus)
Details on test organisms:
TEST ORGANISM
- Source (laboratory, culture collection): "Sammlung von Algenkulturen" University Göttingen, Germany
- Method of cultivation: culture flasks are stored in an incubator at 25°C +-1 and lighted with 7000-9000 Lux


ACCLIMATION
- Acclimation period: three days before start of the test, two flasks were filled with 100 mL culture medium and 5x10^5 algae from stock culture were added (5x10^3 cells/mL). After three days of incubation the cell concentration was determined by particle counter and was at least 16 x 5000 cells per mL.
- Culturing media and conditions (same as test or not): same as test
- Any deformed or abnormal cells observed: no

Study design

Test type:
static
Water media type:
freshwater
Limit test:
no
Total exposure duration:
72 h
Post exposure observation period:
no

Test conditions

Hardness:
not given
Test temperature:
25 + 0.5°C
pH:
Pre-Test (Non-GLP): 100 mg/L showed a pH of 4.8 and 100% growth inhibiton
Main test: stock solution (100 mg/L) was adjusted to pH 8.1 to avoid pH effects of the substance (as seen in the pre-test and Daphnia study)
Begin of the test: 8.02-8.14, end of the test: 8.08 (highest concentration) to 9.57 (control)
Dissolved oxygen:
not reported
Salinity:
0
Nominal and measured concentrations:
nominal: recovery of the DOC during exposure period ranged between 82 and 102% during the 72h exposure period.
The results are given as nominal concentration of the test substance and its hydrolysis products
