- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION:
A stock solution (S1) of the test item was prepared by dissolving 1.4767 g of the test item in 10000 mL of test medium under stirring, resulting in a nominal concentration of 147 mg test item/L (100 mg a.i./L). This stock solution was stirred for 10 minutes at ambient temperature. The stock solution was used immediately to prepare the desired test item concentrations by serial dilution. The stock solution was used, undiluted, as the highest test concentration. The diluted test solutions were stirred for another 2 min and were stored at test temperature in the dark for the duration of the test.
During dosing into the flow-through system, the test solutions were stored in reservoir glass tanks covered in aluminium foil at test temperature, and were placed near the testing area - Test organisms (species):

- RANGE-FINDING TEST:
No immobilization was observed at 0.16, 0.80, 4.00, 20 mg active ingredient/L (except one daphnid in the group 4.00) . However, 100% immobilization was observed at 100 mg active ingredient/L
DEFINITIVE TEST:
- Physico-chemical parameters: see table 2 in "any other information on results including tables"
- Immobilization Data and sublethal observations: see table 3 in "any other information on results including tables"
There were no death in the control ann 100% of death in the highest test concentration. A summary of the immobility data for Daphnia magna are shown in table 2 in "any other information on results including tables)
Sublethal observations on the mobile daphnids were recorded after 24 and 48 h of exposure at all concentration levels. An increased number of floaters, and reduced swimming activity were observed at 67.0 and 147 mg test item/L.
- Analytical finding: see table 4 in "any other information on results including tables"
Samples from the test solutions were taken to determine actual levels of the active ingredient in comparison to nominal concentrations. The test item being a multi-constituent, measured concentrations of THPS, its most unstable constituent (nominal 25.7% of test item as per Certificate of Analysis), were used as quantifiers for the content of the test item in the test medium.
The recoveries based on geometric mean measured THPS concentrations (% of nominal THPS concentrations) determined during the test were between 19.6 and 94.4% of nominal.
A clear concentration-response relationship was observed. Some measured concentrations being below 80% of nominal concentrations, the ECx must be based on the geometric mean of the measured concentrations.
Under the conditions of the present study, the 48h-EC50 was 7.12 mg/L expressed as THPS/L corresponding to 18.8 mgL expressed as active ingredient and 27.7 mg/L expressed as test item (see table 5 "any other information on results including tables) - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- - Results with reference substance valid: yes
The most recent reference test with potassium dichromate performed in a separate study resulted in an EC50(24h) of 1.68 mg/L. According to the OECD guideline No. 202 (OECD, April 2004) EC50(24 h)-values for potassium dichromate obtained from different laboratories should range between 0.6 mg/L and 2.1 mg/L. - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- . Weibull analysis using linear maximum likelihood regression was used to estimate the ECx values.
The statistical software package ToxRat 2.10 Professional (ToxRat Solutions GmbH, Naheweg 15, D-52477 Alsdorf) was used for these calculations. - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the present study, the 48h-EC50 was 7.12 mg/L expressed as THPS/L corresponding to 18.8 mgL expressed as active ingredient and 27.7 mg/L expressed as test item.
- Executive summary:
The acute immobilization (EC50 and NOEC) of the Reaction mass towards Daphnia magna was determined in a 48‑hour static test according to the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals (April 2004) No 202,"Daphnia sp., Acute Immobilisation Test". The study was compliant with the GLP.
Based on a preliminary range-finding test, twenty daphnids were exposed to the test item over a range of nominal concentrations of 100, 45.5, 20.7, 9.39 and 4.27 mg active ingredient/L corresponding to 147, 67.0, 30.5, 13.9 and 6.30 mg test item/L and control for 48 hours under flow-through conditions. The 20 daphnids per test solution, divided into four replicates of 5 daphnids each, were observed for immobility after 24 and 48 hours of exposure
According to the state of art of the analytical method, only two component of the reaction mass could be monitored; the THPS and the THPO (the last one corresponding to a degradation product). Therefore, measured concentrations of THPS were used as quantifiers for the content of the test item in the test medium.
The recoveries based on geometric mean measured THPS concentrations (% of nominal THPS concentrations) determined during the test were between 19.6 and 94.4% of nominal (at the lowest concentration and the highest concentrations respectively).
A clear concentration-response relationship was observed.
The EC50 values of the parameter "immobility of daphnids" at 48 h based on the on statistical evaluation of biological results and nominal concentrations was 40.6 mg/L expressed as test item corresponding to 27.5 mg/L expressed as active ingredient (67.8% of test item).
The EC50 values of the parameter "immobility of daphnids" at 48 h based on the on statistical evaluation of biological results and the geometric mean of measured concentrations of THPS was 7.12 mg/L expressed as THPS/L corresponding to 18.8 mgL expressed as active ingredient and 27.7 mg/L expressed as test item.
The two validity criteria of the OECD guideline 202 were fulfilled, therefore this study is considered as reliable without restrictions

Description of key information
One reliable study is available for the Reaction mass THPS-urea monomer for this endpoint.
This Acute Toxicity Study was conducted in order to assess the effect of the Reaction mass THPS-urea monomer on the
Based on a preliminary range-finding test, twenty daphnids were exposed to the test item over a range of nominal concentrations of 100, 45.5, 20.7, 9.39 and 4.27 mg active ingredient/L corresponding to 147, 67.0, 30.5, 13.9 and 6.30 mg test item/L and control for 48 hours under flow-through conditions. The 20 daphnids per test solution, divided into four replicates of 5 daphnids each, were observed for immobility after 24 and 48 hours of exposure.
According to the state of art of the analytical method, only two component of the reaction mass could be monitored; the THPS and the THPO (the last one corresponding to a degradation product). Therefore, measured concentrations of THPS were used as quantifiers for the content of the test item in the test medium.
The recoveries based on geometric mean measured THPS concentrations (% of nominal THPS concentrations) determined during the test were between 19.6 and 94.4% of nominal (at the lowest concentration and the highest concentrations respectively).
A clear concentration-response relationship was observed.
The EC50 values of the parameter "immobility of daphnids" at 48h based on the on statistical evaluation of biological results and nominal concentrations was 40.6 mg/L expressed as test item corresponding to 27.5 mg/L expressed as active ingredient (67.8% of test item).
The EC50 values of the parameter "immobility of daphnids" at 48h based on the on statistical evaluation of biological results and the geometric mean of measured concentrations of THPS was 7.12 mg/L expressed as THPS/L corresponding to 18.8 mg/L expressed as active ingredient and 27.7 mg/L expressed as test item.
Therefore, as only the THPS concentrations could be measured and as a conservative result, the EC50 of the registered reaction mass is based on the geometric mean of measured concentrations of THPS i.e. 48h-EC50 = 18.8 mg/L expressed as active ingredient.
