- Any stimulation of growth found in any treatment: no - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- The EC50 was estimated as "larger than the highest test concentration" since no less than 50% of inhibition rate was not obtained within the exposure levels. The EC50 was denoted as EC50 based on growth rate.
Regarding the growth rate, Bartlett's test was done to determine the homogeneity of variance for the data. Then one-way analysis of variance and Dunnett's multiple comparison test was used to determine the significant difference between the control level and exposure levels. The statistical analysis was conducted using computer program (running on Microsoft software "Excel") constructed by our laboratory. NOEC was determined by the results of statistical analysis and cell condition. - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- A 72-h growth inhibition test with the unicellular green alga Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata was performed with the test substance DMAPA-2PO according to the OECD guideline 201 (GLP conditions). It can be concluded that the test item had no significant inhibitory effect on the growth of Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata. The analytically confirmed nominal EC50 for growth rate inhibition (72h-ErC50) was >100 mg/L, 72-h NOErC was 25 mg/L. The results of the test can be considered reliable without restrictions.
Reference
Description of key information
Two studies were performed with the test item.
In the first study from Yoshikawa (2016), which was considered as key study, the acute toxicity of the test substance to the unicellular green alga Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata was performed according to the OECD guideline 201 (GLP conditions). The test item had no significant inhibitory effect on the growth of Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata. The analytically confirmed nominal EC50 for growth rate inhibition (72h-ErC50) was > 100 mg/L.
The second study from Migchielsen (2002) was a full test performed according to OECD TG 201. A 72-h growth inhibition test with the unicellular green alga Selenastrum capricornutum (Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata) yielded a 72-h NOErC of 22 mg/L and a 72-h ErC50 of 56 mg/L, based on nominal concentrations. The study was considered as supporting as no analytical measurements were performed.
Measurements and analytical determinations are an OECD requirement. While analytical measurements were included in the study of Yoshikawa (2016), this was not the case for the study of Migchielsen (2002), in the latter study the results were expressed as nominal concentrations. As the newer study of Yoshikawa (2016) follows the OECD 201 guideline for algae testing, the 72-h EC50 value for growth inhibition of > 100 mg/L is considered more reliable than the EC50 of 56 mg/L obtained in the study of Migchielsen (2002). The 72-h ErC50 > 100 mg/L is considered as key value for the PNEC derivation.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- EC50 for freshwater algae:
- 100 mg/L
- EC10 or NOEC for freshwater algae:

Additional information
EC50 for freshwater algae is > 100 mg/L.
