- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
- Method: Due to the low solubility of the test item in test water, a dispersion with the loading rate of 300 mg/L was prepared at the start of the test by dispersing 3.0010 g of the test item in 10 L of test water. This preparation was supported by ultrasonic treatment for 15 minutes and intense stirring on a magnetic stirrer over 3 hours in the dark, to dissolve a maximum amount of the test item in the dispersion. After the 3-hour stirring period, the dispersion of the test item was filtered through a membrane filter (Schleicher & Schuell, Type NC45, pore size 0.45 μm). The undiluted filtrate was used as the highest concentrated test medium and as a stock solution for preparation of the test media with lower test concentrations. The test media were prepared just before the start of the test.
- Controls: Reconstituted test water, consisting of analytical grade salts dissolved in purified water. Potassium dichromate is tested as a positive control twice a year.
- Evidence of undissolved material (e.g. precipitate, surface film, etc): None reported after filtration. - Test organisms (species):
- Oncorhynchus mykiss (previous name: Salmo gairdneri)
- Details on test organisms:
- TEST ORGANISM

- Length at study initiation (length definition, mean, range and SD): 4.87 ± 0.18 cm (Mean ± SD)
- Weight at study initiation (mean and range, SD): 1.18 ± 0.11 g (Mean ± SD)
- Feeding during test: None
ACCLIMATION
- Acclimation period: One week

- Health during acclimation (any mortality observed): No mortalities and all fish were healthy - Test type:
- static
- Water media type:
- freshwater
- Limit test:
- no
- Total exposure duration:
- 96 h
- Post exposure observation period:
- None
- Hardness:
- 125 mg CaCO3/L
- Test temperature:
- 14ºC
- pH:
- 7.2 to 7.4
- Dissolved oxygen:
- 9.5 to 9.9 mg/L (≥ 92% oxygen saturation)
- Salinity:
- Not applicable
- Nominal and measured concentrations:
- The following concentrations of test item were tested; undiluted filtrate with the loading rate of 100 mg/L and dilutions 1:2.2, 1:4.6, 1:10 and 1:22 of the undiluted filtrate with the loading rate of 100 mg/L. Additionally, a control (test water without test item) was tested in parallel. Measured concentration at day 0 was 0.659 mg/L and at day 4 it was 0.452 mg/L for the undiluted filtrate with a loading rate of 100 mg/L, a reduction of 69% over the test period. The samples from the dilutions 1:22, 1:10, 1:4.6 and 1:2.2 were not analyzed, since these concentrations were below the NOEC determined in the test. The biological results were related to the mean measured test item concentration calculated as the geometric means of the concentrations measured at the start and end of the test (see table below).

- Remarks:

- Conclusions:
- The 96 hour-LC50 for Oncorhynchus mykiss exposed to the tets material could only be estimated as > 0.55 mg/L, because no mortalities were observed at the highest concentration tested, which was the solubility limit of the test substance in the test medium. The 96-hour NOEC was determined to be 0.55 mg/L.
- Executive summary:
The sensitivity of Oncorhynchus mykiss to the test material was determined in a GLP-compliant test performed to standard guidelines. The 96 hour-LC50 for Oncorhynchus mykiss exposed to the test material could only be estimated as > 0.55 mg/L, because no mortalities were observed at the highest concentration tested, which was the solubility limit of the test substance in the test medium. The 96-hour NOEC was determined to be 0.55 mg/L. The fish were exposed for up to 96 hours to 5 concentrations of the test substance. As the test substance has low solubility in the test media a dispersion was formed by mixing the test substance in the test media for a prolonged period of time. After filtration this stock solution was used undiluted as the maximum exposure concentration and as a series of dilutions to form the other test concentrations. Analytical monitoring of the exposure concentrations was undertaken and the results are based on the mean measured test item concentration calculated as the geometric means of the concentrations measured at the start and end of the test.
