Sampling and analysis

Analytical monitoring:
yes
Details on sampling:
Duplicate samples from the freshly prepared test media of all test concentrations and the control were taken at the start of the test.
For the determination of the stability of the test item under the test conditions and of the maintenance of the test item concentrations during the test period, duplicate samples were taken at the end of the test from all test media and the control of the actual test by pouring together the contents of each treatment.
The samples were diluted by a factor of 1.25 with acetonitrile.
Additional samples of the control blank and the dilution solvent were taken at test start and test end without any sample treatment.

Test solutions

The 7-day EyC10 was calculated to be < 1.03 and < 1.03 mg active ingredient/L for frond number and dry weight, respectively.
The 7-day ErC10 was calculated to be 2.88 and 9.84 mg active ingredient/L for frond number and dry weight, respectively.

The 7-day NOErC and the LOErC were determined to be 10.0 and 31.6 mg active ingredient/L for frond number and 31.6 and 100.0 mg active ingredient/L for dry weight, respectively
Around each test beaker a light tight ring was placed and the bottom of each beaker was covered with black foil to illuminate all test organisms from one direction (top) only and reduce the influence of the strongly coloured test media in the higher test concentrations to a minimum. An influence of the colouration cannot be excluded and inhibition effects in the lower concentrations might be explained by the colouration and the reduced light availability of the plants than by toxic effects.

Reported statistics and error estimates:
Statistical Analysis:
The ErC50 and the EyC50 (see Definitions), the corresponding EC20 and EC10 values and where possible their 95 %-confidence limits were calculated by probit analysis using linear weighted regression (frond number) and probit analysis (biomass).
For the determination of the 7-day LOEyC, NOEyC, LOErC and NOErC values significant differences at the test concentrations compared to the control values were tested by the Williams t-test.
The software used to perform the statistical analysis was ToxRat Professional, Version 3.2.1, ToxRat Solutions GmbH.

Analytical Results:

The quantification of the test item Sanolin Lave Blue A VP 5453 in the test samples was performed using liquid chromatography with UV detection.

At the start of the test 102% of the nominal test concentrations were found (average of all test concentrations). After 7 days test duration, 100% of the nominal value was determined (average of all test concentrations). During the test the Lemna were exposed to a mean of 101% of nominal. Therefore, all reported results refer to nominal concentrations.

 

 

Conclusion:

The influence of Sanolin Lave Blue A VP 5453 on the growth of the freshwater plant Lemna gibba was assessed in a static concentration-response test.

The 7-day EyC50was determined to be > 100 mg active ingredient/Lfor frond number and dry weight.

The 7-day ErC50was determined to be>100 mg active ingredient/Lfor frond number and dry weight.

The 7-day NOEyC and the LOEyC were determined to be1.03 and3.17 mg active ingredient/Lfor frond number and31.6 and100 mg active ingredient/Lfor dry weight, respectively.

The 7-day NOErC and the LOErC were determined to be10.0 and31.6 mg active ingredient/Lfor frond number and31.6 and100 mg active ingredient/Lfor dry weight, respectively.

This study is classified acceptable and satisfies the guideline requirements for aquatic plant studies.
