- Source/preparation of dilution water: Reconstituted medium Elendt M4 prepared using analytical grade reagents and deionised water
- Intervals of water quality measurement: The temperature in each vessel was measured daily and the pH and dissolved oxygen levels were recorded at the start and at the end of the study.
OTHER TEST CONDITIONS
- Photoperiod: 16 hour light: 8 hour dark photoperiod
EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED (with observation intervals if applicable): Immobilization was recorded at 24 and 48 hours after the start of exposure. The criterion of effect used was that Daphnia were considered to be immobile if they were unable to swim within approximately 15 seconds following gentle agitation of the test vessel.

The highest test concentration resulting in 0% immobilisation was 100 mg/L and the lowest test concentration resulting in 100% immobilisation was > 100 mg/L. All results are expressed in terms of nominal concentrations. The mean measured concentration was recorded as 98 mg/L.
- Executive summary:
Introduction
A study was performed to assess the acute toxicity of DMBA to Daphnia magna under static exposure conditions. The study was conducted in accordance with EEC Methods for Determination of Ecotoxicity Annex to Directive 92/69/EEC (O.J. No. L383A, 29.12.92) Part C, Method 2 "Acute toxicity to Daphnia" and the OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals No. 202, Part I "Daphnia Acute Immobilisation Test”.
Methods
A group of twenty, first instar Daphnia, less than 24 hours old, was exposed to a single concentration of DMBA (nominally 100 mg/L dissolved in Elendt M4 medium), for 48 hours. The numbers of immobilised daphnids were recorded for the test and control group after 24 and 48 hours.
Results
No immobolisation was recorded in control and test vessels. The 24 and 48-hour EC50 for DMBA to Daphnia magna was > 100 mg/L (nominal). The highest test concentration resulting in 0% immobilisation was 100 mg/L and the lowest test concentration resulting in 100% immobilisation was > 100 mg/L. All results are expressed in terms of nominal concentrations. The mean measured concentration was recorded as 98 mg/L.
