- Details on sampling:
- Sampling of test material was done at 0 (fresh media), 24 (old and fresh media) and 48 hours (old media). Samples were taken from the control (replicates R1-R2 pooled) and each test group (replicates R1-R2 pooled). Duplicate samples were taken and stored frozen (approximately -20°C) for further analysis if necessary
- Vehicle:
- no
- Details on test solutions:
- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
- Method: 200 mg of the test substance was dissolved in reconstituted water with the aid of ultrasonication for approximately 1 minute and the volume adjusted to 2 litres to give the 100 mg/L test concentration from which dilutions were made to give the remainder of the test series. The test material was heated approximately 30°C to ensure homogeneity prior to use.
- Controls: Blank: water.
- Stock solution: 200 mg of the test substance was dissolved in reconstituted water and adjusted to 100 mg/L with 2 L water.
- Evidence of undissolved material (e.g. precipitate, surface film, etc): No
Range fining test: 100 mg test material was dissolved in reconstituted water with the aid of ultrasonication for approx. 1 min and the volume adjusted to 1 L to give the 100 mg/L test concentration from which dilutions were made to give the series of test concentrations. The test material was heated approx. 30 °C, to ensure homogeneity prior to use. Each prepared concentration was inverted several times to ensure adequate mixing and homogeneity. - Test organisms (species):
- Daphnia magna
- Details on test organisms:
- TEST ORGANISM
- Common name: Water Flea
- Strain: Daphnia magna
- Source: SafePharm, Derby, United Kingdom
- Age at study initiation (mean and range, SD): ist instar (< 24 h)
- Method of breeding: Cultures of daphnia are maintained in polypropylene vessels containing approx. 2 L of reconstituted water at 21°C.The lighting cycle was controlled to give a 16 hours light and 8 hours darkness cycle with 20 minute dawn and dusk transition periods. Each culture was fed daily with a suspension of algae (Chlorella sp.). Culture conditions ensured that reproduction was by parthenogenesis.
- Pretreatment: 24 hours before the start of the test gravid daphnia are isolated so that the young daphnia produced overnight (0-24h of age) are retained for the test.

Analysis of the fresh test solutions taken at 0 and 24 hours showed the measured test concentrations to range from 83% to 99% of the nominal concentrations. Analysis of the old or expired test media sampled at 24 and 48 hours showed a marked decline in the measured test concentrations. The values were shown to range from less than the Limit of Quantitation (LOQ) of the analytical method to 29% of the nominal. Given that the test material was unstable over each 24 -hour dosing period it was considered appropriate to calculate the results of the definitive test based on the time-weighted mean measured test concentrations in order to give a "worst case" analysis of the data.

Additional information
The acute toxicity of 1,3-propanesultone was tested in a guideline test according to OECD 202. The 48–hr-acute toxicity of the test item to Daphnia magna was studied under semi-static conditions with a renewal of the test medium after 24 hours. Daphnids were exposed to control, and test item at nominal concentration of 1.0, 1.8, 3.2, 5.6, 10, 18, 32, 58 and 100 mg/L for 48 hr. The test substance concentrations were verified analytically. The analytical verification showed a decline in the test concentrations due to the hydrolysis of the test substance to concentrations <30% of nominal. The effect concentrations were therefore based on the time-weighted mean measured test concentrations. Mortality/immobilization and sublethal effects were observed daily. The 48–hr EC50 was 16 mg/L (TWA). The 48–hr NOEC based on immobilization was 9.0 mg/L (TWA). This study is classified as acceptable and satisfies the guideline requirements for an acute toxicity study with freshwater invertebrates.
