Results with reference substance (positive control):

The EC50 value determined for potassium dichromate after 24 hours was 2.1 mg/L.

Validity criteria fulfilled:

yes

Conclusions:

The 24h EC50 of FAT 40336/B was found to be >1000 mg/L.

Executive summary:

FAT 40336/B was tested for its acute toxicity to Daphnia magna. The tests were run according to the Guideline 202, Part I of the OECD and to the Directive 84/449 EEC.

FAT 40336/B was dissolved in the test medium at a concentration of 100 mg/100 ml (clear blue stock dilution). Thereafter, series of sequential dilutions with the test medium were prepared to obtain the final test concentrations of the test article. Along with the test article, control samples were run. As reference substance, potassium dichromate was used and the test was conducted. The Daphnia were exposed to the following test concentrations in two replicates (10 in each replicate) for 24 hours: 0, 62.5, 125, 250, 500 and 1000 mg/L.

The results are summarized as follows;

The EC0 (= NOEC) after 24 hours was determined to be 250 mg/l.

The EC100 value was found to be >1000 mg/l for 24 hours of exposure.

The EC50 value was estimated to be >1000 mg/l for the respective exposure period.

In conclusion, the 24h EC50 of FAT 40336/B was found to be >1000 mg/L.

Description of key information

Currently no study to assess the short term toxicity of Reactive Blue 72 to aquatic invertebrates is available. However, a structurally similar substance, FAT 40336/B (Reactive blue 239) was tested for its acute toxicity to Daphnia magna. The tests were run according to the Guideline 202, Part I of the OECD and to the Directive 84/449 EEC. The Daphnia were exposed to the following test concentrations in two replicates (10 in each replicate) for 24 hours: 0, 62.5, 125, 250, 500 and 1000 mg/L.

The results are summarized as follows;

The EC0 (= NOEC) after 24 hours was determined to be 250 mg/l.

The EC100 value was found to be >1000 mg/l for 24 hours of exposure.

The EC50 value was estimated to be >1000 mg/l for the respective exposure period.

The 48h EC50 to Daphnia magna was considered to be >1000 mg/L.
