- Study period:

- Reliability:

- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: Study conducted on read-across material
- Remarks:
- GLP guideline study conducted to current guideline. The read-across from MnCl2 to Mn(NO3)2 is justified on the following basis: both substances are very soluble in water hence bioavailable and both will release Mn2+ ions. Therefore, from an ecotoxicity standpoint, the chloride or nitrate anions are not considered to have any influence on the effective toxicity of Mn2+ or any toxicity in their own right, so the anions can be disregarded. Therefore any effect will be related to the Mn2+ cation, and the data from MnCl2 ecotoxicity tests is regarded as a suitable surrogate for read-across

- Reported statistics and error estimates:
- All statistical analyses were performed using the measured average dissolved manganese concentrations. Difference in growth (based on frond count, dry weight, biomass and growth rate) were evaluated using statistical computer packages (TRAP, U.S. EPA Duluth, MN, USA, and CETIS, Tidepool Scientific Software Mckinleyville, CA, USA). Since the data met the assumptions of normality and homogeneity, the NOEC and LOEC were estimated using an analysis of variance (Dunnett's) to compare (p=0.05) organism performance in the experimental treatments with the observed in the control. The EC10 was estimated using a piecewise linear regression. Exposure concentrations were log-transformed before determination of EC10 values.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Remarks:
- The doubling time of frond number in the control was less than 2.5 days (60h).
- Conclusions:
- The 7 day NOEC was 30.72 mg Mn/L. The read-across from MnCl2 to MnSO4 is justified on the following basis: both substances are very soluble in water hence bioavailable and both will release Mn2+ ions. Therefore, from an ecotoxicity standpoint, the chloride or sulphate anions are not considered to have any influence on the effective toxicity of Mn2+ or any toxicity in their own right, so the anions can be disregarded. Therefore any effect will be related to the Mn2+ cation, and the data from MnCl2 ecotoxicity tests is regarded as a suitable surrogate for read-across.
