Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
At test material loading rates of 1, 10 and 100 mg/L, the level of manganese measured in the pH 6 media, following a 7 day exposure period, were 4.6, 10.5 and 47.1 µg/L, respectively. The level of manganese measured in the pH 6 media following 28 days exposure, at the 1 mg/L test material loading rate, was 15.9 µg/L.
The test demonstrates low leaching of Mn from the substance, both for short-term and long-term periods is less than the background concentration of Mn in Europe.
Executive summary:

The extent of transformation/dissolution of Mn from the test substance was investigated in a study which was conducted in accordance with the standardised guideline OECD 29.

A screening test was first conducted to ascertain the pH of maximum metal release. The test substance was introduced into the aqueous media (pH 6, pH 7 and pH 8) at a single loading of 100 mg/L. After 24 hours agitation, the dissolved metal (Mn) ion concentration was measured. The highest level of Mn release was from the pH 6 solution and so the definitive study was conducted at this pH.

In the definitive study, three different test material loading rates were investigated (1, 10 and 100 mg/L). The level of Mn release was measured after a 7 day agitation period for all three loading rates. Furthermore, the level of Mn release was measured after a 28 day agitation period at the 1 mg/L loading rate only.

Under the conditions of the study, the concentrations of manganese in solution following a 7 day agitation period at test substance loading rates of 1, 10 and 100 mg/L were 4.6, 10.5 and 47.1 µg/L, respectively. The level of manganese measured in the pH 6 media following 28 days exposure, at the 1 mg/L test material loading rate, was 15.9 µg/L.

Results of the definitive study demonstrate a low leaching of Mn from manganese dioxide. The concentration after 24 hours and 7 days are both less than the background level in Europe (15.9 -35.8 µg/L) as is the concentration after 28 days.
