ACCLIMATION
- Acclimation period:There was no acclimatization because the water used was similar to the culture water.

-The animals were not fed during the test.

Test type:

semi-static

Water media type:

freshwater

Limit test:

yes

Total exposure duration:

48 h

Hardness:

The reconstituted water (ISO medium) had a total hardness of 247 mg/L (as CaCO3).

Test temperature:

The water temperature was measured at the start and at the end of the renewal periods in one control test vessel. The test temperature was in the range of 19.9 – 20.8°C measured in the test vessels.
The additionally measured temperature in the climate chamber was between 19.4 – 21.3°C.

pH:

The pH of the test solution was not adjusted and not varied by more than 1.5 units in any one test. The pH was measured at the start and at the end of the renewal periods in one test vessel both in the control and test item group and was in the range of 7.71 – 8.06.

Dissolved oxygen:

The dissolved oxygen concentration was measured in the control and in the test concentration in one replicate at the start and at the end of the renewal periods and was in the range of 7.3 – 8.6 mg/L.

Nominal and measured concentrations:

100 mg/L

Details on test conditions:

TEST SYSTEM
- Test vessel:glass beaker
- Volume of solution:(~40 mL test solution/flask; 8 mL test solution/animal
- No. of organisms per vessel:5
- No. of vessels per concentration (replicates):4
- No. of vessels per control (replicates):4
- The frequency of the water renewal periods was 24 hours.


OTHER TEST CONDITIONS
- Adjustment of pH:The pH of the test solution was not adjusted and not varied by more than 1.5 units in any one test.
- Light intensity:The test was carried out in 16-hour light and 8-hour dark cycle.

EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED (with observation intervals if applicable) :
The immobility of the Daphnia was determined by visual observation 24 and 48 hours after the start of the test. Those animals not able to swim within 15 seconds after gentle agitation of the test beaker are considered to be immobile.
The number of immobilised animals and the percentage of immobility were determined at 24 and 48 hours.


RANGE-FINDING STUDY
- Test concentrations: 0.1.1,10,100 mg/L nominal loading rate WAF

Conclusions:

Under the conditions of this Daphnia magna acute immobilisation study the observed endpoints for the effect of the test item were the following:48 h EL50 > 100.0 mg/L.

Executive summary:

The 48-hr acute toxicity of the test item to Daphnia was studied under semi-static conditions. Test species were exposed to control, and test chemical at nominal concentration of 100mg/L for 48 hr immobilisation effects were observed daily.  The 48- hour EL50was >100 mgL.  The 48h-hrNOELbased on immobilization effects was 100 mg//L. 

 

Based on the results of this study, the test item would be not classified to Daphnia in accordance with the classification system of CLP.
