Details on sampling:

Samples were collected of the Stock Solution (WAF) and of each treatment at the beginning and end of exposure for analysis.

Vehicle:

no

Details on test solutions:

Blacksburg, Virginia municipal tap water was dechlorinated using activated carbon,
deionized using mixed bed deionization tanks to a resistivity of > 1 megohm-cm, and
polished with a Millipore, Milli Q UV Plus and 0.2-micron filter to a final resistivity of ≥
18 megohm-cm. This water is referred to as BMI DI water.
This DI water was then chemically reconstituted according to U.S. EPA guidelines to a
final hardness of 160-180 (mg/l as CaCO3). This is BMI Hard Reconstituted Water
(HRW) and is the standard dilution water for testing with Daphnia magna.

Test organisms (species):

Daphnia magna

Details on test organisms:

Daphnia magna obtained from Aquatic Biosystems, Inc. (Fort Collins, Colorado) were
used for this study. Organisms were purchased and acclimated to BMI’s culture facility.
Once adults were produced, gravid females were segregated into fresh dilution water.
Organisms used in testing were < 24h old organisms from the 2rd to 5th generation. All
daphnid tests were initiated with offspring produced from BMI’s culture system and
obtained from a healthy stock culture showing no signs of stress such as >20% mortality,
presence of males or ephippiates, or discolored animals with no delay in production of
first brood.

static

freshwater

Details on results:

Range Finding Results
The range finding test indicated that, in a definitive bioassay, there would likely be a result (EC50) between 100 and 1000 mg/L (nominal concentration).

The definitive test produced a 48-hour EC50 value of 11.4 mg/ based on the Spearman Karber statistical method. The 95% lower and upper confidence levels were 11.0 and 11.8 mg/L,
respectively.

Validity criteria fulfilled:

yes

Conclusions:

Daphnia magna was exposed to 4,4'-Isopropylidenediphenol, oligomeric reaction products with 1-chloro-2,3-epoxypropane, reaction products with 3-aminopropyldiethylamine and 2-piperazin-1-ylethylamine in OECD 202 test. The definitive test produced a 48-hour EC50 value of 11.4 mg/ based on the Spearman Karber statistical method.
