- Specific details on test material used for the study:
- -Purity: >93%
-Description: Dark Amber Liquid
-Storage: Room temperature (15 to 30°C) under nitrogen - Analytical monitoring:
- yes
- Remarks:
- Given that the test substance is a complex multi-constituent substance, the results were based on nominal loading rates.
- Details on sampling:
- - Sampling method: Aqueous samples (10 mL) of freshly prepared test media (0 hour) and pooled expired test media (48 hours) were collected in duplicate, mixed with acetonitrile, then diluted further with Elendt M4 media:acetonitrile (1:1, v/v) as required to bring the response within the calibration range.
- Sample storage conditions before analysis: Frozen storage stability (nominally -20°C) was tested over 7 days, but failed to meet acceptability criteria. Samples were therefore processed on the day of collection.
- Sample processing: Prior to analysis, the samples were mixed with 0.2% formic acid in acetonitrile. Sample extracts were further diluted into the calibration range with 0.1% formic acid in (1:1,V/V) acetonitrile:Elendt M4 medium, if required. - Vehicle:
- no
- Details on test solutions:
- The substance is a chemical substance of Unknown or Variable Composition, Complex Reaction Products and Biological Materials (UVCB) with low water solubility and as such falls into the category of a “difficult substance” as defined by the OECD Guidance Document (OECD Series on Testing and Assessment, No. 23 (2000); Guidance Document on Aquatic Toxicity Testing of Difficult Substances and Mixtures). Based on the recommendations of this guideline, the test substance was prepared as Water Accommodated Fractions (WAFs).
At the start of the test and media renewal at 24 hours, the test substance was weighed onto a glass slides and placed in 1000 mL of Elendt M4 test medium. The preparations were stirred for ca 23 hours at a rate such that a slight dimple was formed at the surface. After the stirring period, the preparation was allowed to settle for ca 1 hour after which the aqueous phase was removed by careful mid-depth siphoning to give the 100 mg/L loading rate WAF. A control group was prepared in the same manner without the addition of test substance.
The test preparations were observed to be colourless solutions throughout the duration of the test. - Test organisms (species):

OTHER TEST CONDITIONS
- Intervals of water quality measurement: The pH, dissolved oxygen and temperature were determined in freshly prepared test media at the start of the test and at media renewal at 24 hours and in the old media (pooled replicates) at 24 and 48 hours. Continuous temperatures were measured using a digital (min/max) thermometer in an additional vessel maintained in the test area.
- Adjustment of pH: none
- Photoperiod: 16-hour light : 8-hour dark
- Light intensity: not specified
EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED (with observation intervals if applicable):
Statistical analysis was not performed given that no immobilisation was observed during the test. The EL50 values, no observed effect loading rate (NOEL) and the lowest observed effect loading rate (LOEL) were estimated empirically by observation of the data.
RANGE-FINDING STUDY
- Test concentrations: 0, 1.0, 10 and 100 mg/L (duplicate vessels for each)

- Basis for effect:

- Details on results:
- - Behavioral abnormalities: No immobilisation was observed in the test group after 24 or 48 hours of exposure. All daphnids were observed to be mobile and submerged in the test solution at 24 hours. Two mobile daphnids were observed to be submerged in the test solution at 48 hours; the remaining 18 were observed to be mobile at the surface.
- Immobilization in negative control: None; all mobile and submerged throughout the test.
- Other adverse effects in negative control: None
- Any observations (e.g. precipitation) that might cause a difference between measured and nominal values: The results from the freshly prepared WAFs at 0 and 48 hours showed differences in measured concentrations despite the WAFs being prepared in the same manner. This was considered to be possibly due to the expected low water solubility of the test substance and difficulties associated with the preparation of WAFs.
- Effect concentrations exceeding solubility of substance in test medium: yes - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- - Reference substance: potassium dichromate
- Test design: same test organism, medium, exposure conditions and replication as this definitive test
- Results with reference substance valid? Yes; EC50 result was within the expected range state in the OECD Guideline No. 202 (0.6 - 2.1 mg/L).
- Relevant effect levels: 48-hour EC50
- Dose-response test: yes; treatment concentrations were 0 (control), 0.32, 0.56, 1.0, 1.8 and 3.2 mg/L
- EC50: 1.366 mg/L
- NOEC: 1.0 mg/L - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- Statistical analysis was not performed given that no immobilisation was observed during the test.
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Remarks:
- The validity criteria for control immobility (=10%) and dissolved oxygen (>/=3 mg/L) were both satisfied. The test is therefore considered valid.
- Conclusions:
- No immobilization was observed during the 48-hour exposure period. The 48-hour EL50 value was therefore considered to be >100 mg/L loading rate WAF. The NOEL was determined to be 100 mg/L. The test showed no toxicity at the limit of solubility of the test substance in the test media.
- Executive summary:
The study was conducted in accordance with the requirements of OECD Guideline No. 202. Test solutions were prepared as Water Accommodated Fractions (WAFs) based on the recommendations of OECD Series on Testing and Assessment, No. 23. Based on the results of a range-finding test the definitive test was conducted at a nominal loading rate of 100 mg/L under static-renewal conditions, with a concurrent control group. At the start of the test, five juvenile Daphnia magna were added to each test vessel. The Daphnia magna in each test vessel were observed for mobility at 24 and 48 hours. The Daphnia magna were not fed during the test.
Test solutions were analysed at 0 and 48 hours (fresh media) and at 24 and 72 hours (old media) using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with time of flight mass spectrometry (TOF) based on quantitation of two major constituents (a low molecular weight component and a high molecular weight component) of the test substance. The analytical method was successfully validated at concentrations of 0.0002 to 0.05 µg/mL. Measured concentrations in the 0 (fresh media) and 24 hour (old) test solutions were below the limit of quantification of the analytical method (i.e., <0.01 mg/L). Measured concentrationsin the 24 (fresh media) and 48 hour (old) test solutionswere determined to be 0.124 mg/L and 0.0476 mg/L, respectively, for thelow molecularweight component and 0.147 mg/L and 0.0520 mg/L, respectively, for thehigh molecularweight component.Given that the test substance is a multi-constituent substance and analytical monitoring was limited to one low and one high molecular weight component of the test substance, the effect concentrations were based on nominal loading rates.
No immobilization was observed over the 48-hour exposure period. The 48-hour EL50 value was therefore determined to be >100 mg/L loading rate WAF and the No Observed Effect Loading rate (NOEL) was determined to be 100 mg/L loading rate WAF. The test showed no toxicity at the limit of solubility of the test substance in the test media.
