- Specific details on test material used for the study:
- Water solubility: 1.63 mg/L (at 20°C and pH 8.89)
Relative density: 0.8804
Log Pow: 6.20 - Analytical monitoring:
- yes
- Details on sampling:
- - Concentrations: Control, undiluted filtrate of test item emulsion with a loading rate of 100 mg/L and dilutions 1:2.2, 1:4.6. The samples of the lower test concentrations (dilution 1:10, and 1:22) were not analyzed since these concentrations were below the 48-hour NOEC determined in this test and were therefore not relevant for the interpretation of the biological results.
- Sampling method: Duplicate samples were taken from each test concentration and the control at the start and at the end of the two 24-hour test medium renewal periods. For the 24-hour stability samples, the contents of the respective replicates were combined prior to sampling. Immediately after sampling, acetonitrile (6 mL acetonitrile per 9 mL sample volume) was added to each sample to stabilize the latter during the storage period. Thereafter, all samples were deep-frozen (at about -20 °C). - Vehicle:
- no
- Details on test solutions:
- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION:
- Preparation method: At the start of the test (Day 0) and at the test medium renewal (Day 1) the highest test concentration (undiluted filtrate) was prepared by dosing 265 μL of the test item in 2320 mL test water. This volume is equivalent to a loading rate of 100 mg/L, considering the relative density of the test item of 0.88. The test item was mixed into test water by intensive stirring for three hours in the dark in a closed stirring vessel to dissolve a maximum of test item in test water. After stirring, the emulsion was filtered through a 0.45 μm membrane filter (Whatman, NC45). The filter was pre-conditioned with 200 mL filtrate to avoid losses of dissolved test item due to adsorption on the filter material. The undiluted filtrate was used as highest test concentration. It was further diluted with test water to prepare the test media with the lower test concentrations.
- Control: Test water without test item

Test substance analysis was performed on the dilutions 1:4.6 and 1:2.2 and on the undiluted filtrate. The respective measured concentrations were determined to be 0.12, 0.32 and 0.74 mg/L. These measured concentrations were calculated as the arithmetic mean of the two geometric means which were determined from the test item concentrations measured at the start and end of each of the two test medium renewal periods. After 48 hours of exposure, no immobilized test organisms were determined in the control and up to and including the test item concentration of 0.12 mg/L. At the next higher test concentrations of 0.32 and 0.74 mg/L, 35% and 85% of the daphnids were immobile. The 48-hour EC50 was calculated to be 0.41 mg/L (95%-C.L: 0.32 - 0.53 mg/L) based on mean measured concentrations. The validity criteria are met and the study considered to be reliable without restrictions.

Description of key information
The short-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates is assessed based on read-across from the close structural analogue Citronellyl butyrate (CAS# 141 -16 -2).
For Citronellyl butyrate, the acute toxicity to Daphnia was examined in a study according to OECD TG 202 and in compliance with GLP criteria (Symrise, 2016). In a 48 h semi-static test daphnids were exposed to Citronellyl butyrate as an undiluted filtrate with a loading rate of 100 mg/L and to dilutions of this filtrate at 1:22, 1:10, 1:4.6 and 1:2.2. Test substance analysis was performed on the dilutions 1:4.6 and 1:2.2 and on the undiluted filtrate. The respective measured concentrations were determined to be 0.12, 0.32 and 0.74 mg/L. These measured concentrations were calculated as the arithmetic mean of the two geometric means which were determined from the test item concentrations measured at the start and end of each of the two test medium renewal periods. After 48 hours of exposure, no immobilized test organisms were determined in the control and up to and including the test item concentration of 0.12 mg/L. At the next higher test concentrations of 0.32 and 0.74 mg/L, 35% and 85% of the daphnids were immobile. The 48-hour EC50 was calculated to be 0.41 mg/L (95%-C.L: 0.32 - 0.53 mg/L) based on mean measured concentrations. The validity criteria are met and the study considered to be reliable without restrictions.
