Sampling and analysis

Analytical monitoring:

yes

Details on sampling:

Water samples were taken from the control and the 100 mg ai/L test groups at 0 and 48h for quantitative analysis. Duplicate samples were taken and stored at approx. -20 degree C for further analysis if necessary.

- Age at study initiation (mean and range, SD): <24h
- Method of breeding: parthenogenesis
- Feeding during test: none

Study design

Test conditions

Hardness:

CA 250 mg CaCO3/L

Test temperature:

21.2 - 21.8 degree C

pH:

7.9 - 8.0

Dissolved oxygen:

102 % (ASV)

Nominal and measured concentrations:

Analytical information indicated that the material is 85.6% pure therefore all test concentrations were corrected for this. In the range finding test Daphnia were exposed to a series of nominal concentrations of 0.10, 1.0, 10 and 100 mg ai/l. Based on the rangefinding test a limit test was conducted at a concentration of 100 mg ai/l.

Analysis of the test preparations at 0 and 48h showed measured test concentrations ranging from 105% to 111% of nominal value, therefore, the results are based on nominal test concentrations only.

Details on results:

The control was observed to be a clear colourless solution and the 100 mg ai/l test concentration was observed to be a black coloured solution. Due to the dark colouration of the 100 mg ai/l test concentration, daphnids were placed in fresh reconstituted water for the period of observations.

There was no immobilisation in 20 daphnids exposed to a test concentration of 100 mg ai/l of test substance for a period of 48h.

Results with reference substance (positive control):

A positive control is conducted by the test house approximately every 6 months using potassium dichromate. The results from the positive control were within the normal range for this reference material. The mean 48h EC50 value calculated from this positive controls was 1.1 mg/l (95% CL 0.97 - 1.2).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:

yes

Conclusions:

It is concluded that as none of the Daphnia magna were observed as immobilised after 24 and 48h in the control or test concentration solutions and no other symptoms of toxicity were observed that the test substance has no effect on Daphnia magna at 100 mg ai/l (based on nominal concentrations).

Executive summary:

Introduction

The study was performed to assess the acute toxicity of the test substance to Daphnia magna. The method was designed to be compatible with the following guidelines:

OECD Guidelines for the testing of Chemicals (2004). Test guideline 202 Part I, Daphnia sp. Acute Immobilisation Test.

Method C.2 of Commission Directive 92/69/EEC.

Results

After 48h no immobilisation was observed in the test substance test vessels or in the dilution water.

Conclusions

The 24 and 48h EC50 was determined to be >100 mg ai/l of test substance. The 48h NOEC was 100 mg ai/l. It is concluded that as none of the Daphnia magna were observed as immobilised after 24 and 48h in the control or test concentration solutions and no other symptoms of toxicity were observed that the test substance has no effect on Daphnia magna at 100 mg ai/l (based on nominal concentrations).
