- Sampling method: no data

Test solutions
- Vehicle:

- Details on test solutions:
- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION
- Method: an undiluted filtrate of a supersaturated dispersion with the loading rate of 152 mg/L was tested (corresponding to the loading rate of 100 mg/L when corrected for the water content of the test item).
The dispersion with the loading rate of 152 mg/L was prepared by dispersing 76.0 mg of the test item in 500 mL of test water. The test item was mixed into the test water as homogeneously as possible using ultrasonic treatment for 15 min and intense stirring. The dispersion was stirred on a magnetic stirrer at room temperature in the dark for seven days. After the stirring period, the dispersion was filtered through a membrane filter (0.45 µm). The undiluted filtrate of the dispersion was used as the test medium.
- Differential loadings: No (limit test)
- Controls: controls : blank (test water without test item)
- Evidence of undissolved material (e.g. precipitate, surface film, etc): no data

TEST MEDIUM / WATER PARAMETERS
- Source/preparation of dilution water: reconstituted test water : analytical grade salts dissolved in purified water
- Alkalinity: 0.8 mmol/L
- Ca/Mg ratio (mol): 4:1 (based on molarity)
- Na / K ratio: 10:1 (based on molarity)
- Culture medium different from test medium: no
- Intervals of water quality measurement: The pH values, the dissolved oxygen concentrations and the temperature were determined at the start and at the end of the test in the control and the test medium. The appearance of the test medium was also recorded at the start of the test and after 24 and 48 hours.
- No further data
OTHER TEST CONDITIONS
- Adjustment of pH: No
- Photoperiod: a 16 hour light to 8 hour dark with a 30 minute transition period.
- Light intensity: between 470 and 640 lux
EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED :
The daphnids were observed for immobility after 24 and 48 hours of exposure (daphnids not being able to swim within 15 seconds after gentle agitation of the test beaker are considered to be immobilized).
The NOELR and EL0 were determined directly from the raw data. The EL50 and EL100 could not be determined due to the absence of a toxic effect of the test item in this test.

- Range finding study: yes
- Test concentrations: No data
- Results used to determine the conditions for the definitive study: no mortality at the undiluted loading rate. - Reference substance (positive control):

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The test item had no acute toxic effects on Daphnia magna up to its solubility limit in the test water at the loading rate of 100 mg/L .
- Executive summary:
The 48hr-acute toxicity of cerium carbonate to Daphnia magna was studied under static conditions according to the EU Commission Directive 92/69/EEC, Part C.2 (1992) and the OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals, N°202 (2004). Daphnids were exposed to control and test chemical at nominal concentration of 100 mg of dry substance /L (loading rate) for 48 hr. Mortality/immobilization were observed daily. In the control and at the loading rate of 100 mg/L, no immobilized test organisms were observed during the test period of 48 h. Thus, the 48 hour LL50 was > 100 mg/L and the 48h NOEC were >= 100 mg/L.
