- Details on test solutions:
- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
- Preparation method:
Suspensions of the test substance were prepared in test medium by adding weighed amounts of test substance to the medium whilst shaking. Each test concentration was prepared separately. After a shaking period of 24 hrs the suspensions were filtered over water pre-wetted filter paper and the filtrates were directly used for the test without further dilution.
- Application method:
In view of (partial) adsorptive properties of the test substance, test vessels were pre-incubated with the respective test solution to assure saturation of the surfaces of the glass walls with test substance. After approximately 1 hour of pre-incubation time the test solutions were replaced with a fresh portion of the same solution to be used in the test. - Test organisms (species):

- Nominal and measured concentrations:
- Nominal loading rates: 0, 20, 40, 80, 160 and 320 mg/L.
Mean measured test concentrations at test start (based on TOC results and corrected for purity): 0, 22, 41, 79, 145 and 294 mg/L.
Mean measured test concentrations at test end (based on TOC results and corrected for purity): 0, 22, 42, 81, 141 and 294 mg/L.
Since nominal loading rates were confirmed by chemical analysis to be within 80-120% of nominal, they are further regarded as nominal concentrations.
Nominal concentrations were used for the effect assessment because concentrations were shown to remain within 80-120% of nominal throughout the test. - Details on test conditions:
- TEST SYSTEM
The tests were performed in closed bottles (100 mL-carboys) filled up to the neck with test solution because of the volatile nature of the test substance.
* Screening test:
- Three test concentrations (1.0, 10 and 100 mg/L) plus one control each in duplicate with 5 animals/test vessel (i.e. 10 animals/concentration).
* Main test
- Five test concentrations (20, 40, 80, 160 and 320 mg/L) plus one control each in 4-fold with 5 animals/test vessel (i.e. 20 animals/concentration).
- Loading rate: ca. 20 ml test solution per organism
- Test vessels were maintained at 20 °C under a photoperiod of 16 hours light : 8 hours dark and without supplementary aeration or feeding during the 48 hour exposure period.
- The temperature in each vessel, the pH and dissolved oxygen levels were recorded at the start and at the end of the study.
EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED:
Daphnia were considered to be immobile if they were unable to swim within 15 seconds after gentle agitation of the test vessel. - Reference substance (positive control):

Relative to initial [%] ranged from 96.8 - 102.2%.
Individual pH, temperature and dissolved oxygen values remained within acceptable limits throughout the duration of the study.
Vailidity criteria fulfilled, i.e. <10% immobility or trapping at the water surface in the control and dissolved oxygen concentration at the end of the test was >= 60% of the air saturation at the temperature used. - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- EC50: 0.9 mg/L
- Reported statistics and error estimates:
- 48 h-EC50 standard deviation: 6%
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Remarks:
- <10% immobility or trapping at the water surface in the control; at t=48 h dissolved O2 concentration >= 60% of the air saturation at the temperature used
- Conclusions:
- The 48 h EC50 (immobilisation) value with Daphnia magna is 78 mg/L.
- Executive summary:
A study was performed to assess the acute toxicity of the substance to Daphnia magna. The study was conducted under static conditions in accordance with OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals No. 202. Groups of twenty, 1st instar Daphnia (less than 24 hours old) were exposed in closed bottles for 48 hours to 5 concentrations of filtered substance extracts in test water (nominal concentrations up to 320 mg/L). The incidence of immobilisation was recorded for each test and control group at 24 hours and at 48 hours. The 48 h EC50 value was 78 mg/L. All results are expressed in terms of nominal concentrations. Mean measured TOC concentrations ranged from 91 - 110 % of nominal at 0 hours and 88 - 112 % of nominal at 48 hours.

Description of key information
The short-term toxicity of Jessemal to aquatic invertebrates is assessed based on read-across from the close structural analogue Jasmal (CAS# 18871-14-2), which results in a 48 -h EC50 value of 78 mg/L.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Fresh water invertebrates
Fresh water invertebrates
- Effect concentration:
- 78 mg/L
Additional information
The read across rationale is presented in the Aquatic Endpoint summary because also Fish and algae toxicity are based on read across and these are addressed together. The accompanying files are also attached there. Below the executive summary of Jasmal's Daphnia toxicity is presented.
Jasmal and its toxicity to Daphnia
An acute Daphnia study was performed according to OECD TG 202 and in compliance with GLP criteria. In a static test set-up, groups of daphnids were exposed for 96 hours to 5 concentrations of test substance prepared from a saturated solution of the test material at a loading rate of 320 mg/L. Mean measured concentrations, determined as TOC, ranged from 91 - 110 % of nominal at 0 hours and 88 - 112 % of nominal at 48 hours. Daphnia mobility was determined at 24 and 48 hours after the start of exposure. The 48-h EC50 was determined to be 78 mg/L in Daphnia magna, based on nominal concentrations. Based on the lack of specific analysis to confirm test substance concentrations, the data is considered to be reliable with restrictions (Klimisch 2).
