Sampling and analysis

Analytical monitoring:

no

Test solutions

Details on test solutions:

Treatment solutions were perpared by adding the necessary amount of the test substance to the treatment aquaria followed by addition of laboratory water to yield nominal concentrations of 7.5, 15, 30, 60 and 120 mg/L. The test substance solutions were mixed for approximately one hour before addition of the test organisms.

Test organisms

Test organisms (species):

Oncorhynchus mykiss (previous name: Salmo gairdneri)

Details on test organisms:

the fish were acquired from Trout Lodge Trout Farm (Summer, WA) and placed on-study with a body weight range of 139-377 mg and length of 21-28 mm.

No data

Nominal and measured concentrations:

Nominal concentrations of: 7.5, 15, 30, 60 and 120 mg/L.

Details on test conditions:

Treatment was conducted in triplicate in two gallon glass aquaria containing approximately eight liters of laboratory water with ten fish per aquarium.The loading rate was approximately 1.0 gm fish/L. A ligh/dark cycle of 16-hr light/8-hr dark was maintained. At 6,24, 48, 72 and 96 hr the aquaria were observed for mortality and the number live fish recorded.

Remarks on result:

other: 11 - 12.9 95% confidence Limits.

Details on results:

Complete mortality was observed at the dose levels of 30, 60 and 120 mg/L with six hours of treatment. Srivival at 15 mg/L was 56.7% at 24 hr and 6.7% at 96 hr. No mortalities were observed at 7.5 mg/L.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:

yes

Conclusions:

The LC50 value for the test substance was determined to be 11.5 mg/L (95% Confidence Limits 11-12.9). The No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC) was 7.5 mg/L.

Executive summary:

The LC50 value for the test substance, 4,4'-Isopropylidenedicyclohexanol, oligomeric reaction products with 1-chloro-2,3-epoxypropane, to rainbow trout in a static O.E.C.D. test guideline 203 study was 11.5 mg/L with 95% Confidence Limits of 11 -12.9 mg/L. The No Observed Effect Concentration was 7.5 mg/L.
