- Details on results:
- The choice of final test concentrations in the main study was based on levels of immobilisation of adults in the preliminary acute study and preliminary reproductive toxicity study. However, it is noted that the toxic effects seen in the main study were lower than expected from these preliminary tests, meaning that reproductive the EC50 value could not be accurately determined. This is not considered to impact on the validity of the results which demonstrate that the test concentration leading to chronic effects is close to the concentrations resulting in acute toxicity and does not impact on final GHS classification.
The results of the different examinations on survival of adults, numbers of young and vigour of young make the use of statistical analysis in appropriate. Therefore, the data has been assessed to give approximate results for use in deriving the PNEC and for Classification.
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The results of the different examinations on survival of adults, numbers of young and vigour of young make the use of statistical analysis in appropriate. Therefore, the data has been assessed to give approximate results for use in deriving the PNEC and for Classification.
Survival of adults NOEC ca 1.25 mg/l, EC10 ca 2.5 mg/l and EC50 ca 5 mg/l
Growth of surviving adults, NOEC > 5 mg/l
Reproduction indices based on surviving adults, NOEC > 2.5 mg/l < 5 mg/l. Estimated EC10 ca 5 mg/l
The fact that statics could not be used to generate more precise figures for EC10 or EC50 does not impact on the classification of the substance (effects in range 1 – 10 mg/l) and it is assumed that the concentration of 1.25 mg/l can be used to generate a PNEC. - Executive summary:
In a semi-static reproduction test, young Daphnia magna (< 24 h old) were exposed for 21 days to the test item Sodium isobuthyl xanthate (Sodium O-isobuthyl dithiocarbonate), in the following test item concentrations: 0.31, 0.63, 1.25, 2.5, 5.0 mg/L plus the control.
Ten replicates were used for each treatment and the control.
In a preliminary study, the immobilisation Daphnia magna was: 10, 30, 10, 40 and 60% in the test item concentrations of 0.31, 0.63, 1.25, 2.50, 5.0 mg/L
The mean body length of parent Daphnia magna was 101.4, 103.8, 102.2, 109.1 and 106.2% in the respective test item concentrations 0.31, 0.63, 1.25, 2.5, 5.0 mg/L in comparison with the control.
No changes of parent Daphnia magna appearance (e.g. discoloration, deformation, trapping on the surface) in comparison with the control were observed.
In all test item concentrations and the control no aborted broods, dead offspring or ephippia were observed.
The intrinsic rate of population growth for the test item concentrations and control demonstrate that Daphnia magna populations were growing. The intrinsic rate of population growth was 99.1, 101.4, 104.0, 89.1 and 74.8% in the respective test item concentrations of 0.31, 0.63, 1.25, 2.5, 5.0 mg/L in comparison with the control.
The concentrations of Sodium isobuthyl xanthate (Sodium O-isobuthyl dithiocarbonate) were not chemically analysed do to the known hydrolytic instability. Instead of chemical determination of the test item concentrations the characterization the exposure levels of the test item over time using a validated Total Organic Carbon (TOC) method was performed.
The samples of the test item concentrations and the control water solutions were analysed after 0, 3, 7, 10, 14, 19, 21 days of exposure. In fresh samples at exposure initiation, day 7, day 14, and day 19, the determinations of
the TOC was in the range 0.990 – 3.416 mgC/L. In spent samples at day 3, day 10, day 17, and at exposure termination thedeterminations of the TOC was in the range 1.159 – 4.834 mgC/L. There results were
corrected by the value measured for the control sample in series.The choice of final test concentrations in the main study was based on levels of immobilisation of adults in the preliminary acute study and preliminary reproductive toxicity study. However, it is noted that the toxic effects seen in the main study were lower than expected from these preliminary tests, meaning that reproductive the EC50
value could not be accurately determined. This is not considered to impact on the validity of the results which demonstrate that the test concentration leading to chronic effects is close to the concentrations resulting in acute toxicity and does not impact on final GHS classification.
The endpoint values were determined based on the nominal test item concentrations.
