Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
Kn 172 is considered toxic to algae (Desmodesmus subspicatus)
Executive summary:

Two experiments were performed.

As the test item wasn't stable under test conditions and in the samples which were taken

for analytical determinations, the results of the analytical determinations in the first experiment

were considered as insufficient. Therefore, a second experiment was performed.

The study was performed using five concentrations ranging from 1.0 to 22 mg/L. The

treatments were used to incubate the unicellular freshwater green algae Desmodesmus

subspicatus for a period of 72 hours. The cell concentration of each replicate was determined

microscopically with counting chamber every 24 hours. From the measured cell

numbers, the growth rate µ, the area under the growth curve (AUC) and the Yield were

determined.

At the start, after 2, 24 and 48 hours, the content of the test item in the test solutions was

determined using HPLC. All samples are measured separately and directly after sampling

and not by using an auto sampler.

The measured concentration at the beginning of the test was between 82 % and 104 % of

the nominal concentration. The recovery after 2 hours was in a range of 56 and 69 % of

the start concentration. After 24 hours, no test item was detectable. Therefore, calculation

of the mean of the measured concentration at the start and the end of the test wasn't feasible.

lt is believed that the toxic effects of the test item took part within the first 24 hours.

The determination of the results was based on the nominal concentrations.

The EC50s of potassium dichromate were tested in a current reference test. The values

lay within the normal range of the laboratory.

The following results for the test item Kn 172 were determined:

 Endpoint  NOEC  LOEC  EC50
 Growth Rate  2.2 mg/L  4.6 mg/L  8.3 mg/L
 AUC  1.0 mg/L  2.2 mg/L  2.3 mg/L
 Yield  2.2 mg/L  4.6 mg/L  2.4 mg/L
