Sampling and analysis

Analytical monitoring:
yes
Details on sampling:
Samples were taken from each of the test media at the start (0 hours), 24 hours and end of the exposure (48 hours). A sample was taken from the control at 0 and 48 hours.

Test solutions

Vehicle:
no
Details on test solutions:
A stock solution was prepared daily, 102 uL of the test substance was added to 1 L of dilution water and stirred for 10 minutes with a magnetic stirrer.Following stirring any undissolved particles were removed by filtration through a 7 - 12 um pore size filter paper. The pH of the stock solution was adjusted to 8.0. The test media were prepared by addition of appropriate volumes of the stock solution to a volume of 1000 mL. Two replicates were prepared for each test treatment, containing 250 - 300 mL each containing 10 Daphnia.

Test organisms

Test organisms (species):
Daphnia magna
Details on test organisms:
The Daphnia were obtained from the laboratory own's culture by parthenogenic reproduction. The source of the Daphnia was the Bundesgesundheitsamt, Berlin, Germany. A population of parthenogenetic females of synchronized age structure has been maintained for more than 15 years in the test facility under constant temperature conditions (20 +/- 1 °C) at a 16 : 8 hour light-dark photoperiod (illumination: < 1000 lux). The culture water (so-called 'M4 medium') was partly renewed once a week. The Daphnia were exclusively fed with unicellular green algae (Desmodesmus subspicatus) 'ad libitum'. Mortalities of parent Daphnia during the culture period were recorded daily in a semi-quantitative way. The neonates were separated from their parent Daphnia by filtration prior to the acute test.

Salinity:
Not applicable
Nominal and measured concentrations:
Nominal exposure concentrations were 0 (control), 0.63, 1.25, 2.5, 5.0 and 10 mg/L. The geometric means obtained from the study were 0.251, 0.59, 1.21, 2.42 and 4.38 mg/L in the nominal 0.63, 1.25, 2.5, 5.0 and 10 mg/L treatments.
Details on test conditions:
The test vessels were BOD bottles, containing 250 - 300 mL of test media. Ten Daphnia were added to each vessel which was then sealed with a glass stopper. The study was performed with a 16 hour light and 8 hour dark cycle.
Reference substance (positive control):
no

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
Based on mean measured concentrations of 2,3-dichlorobutadiene-1,3 the 24 hour EC50 value to Daphnia magna was calculated to be 2.22 mg/L and the 48 hour EC50 value was 1.28 mg/L. The no-observed effect concentration (NOEC) was observed to be 0.58 mg/L.
Executive summary:

Daphnia magna were exposed to nominal 2,3-dichlorobutadiene-1,3 concentrations of 0 (control), 0.63, 1.25, 2.5, 5.0 and 10 mg/L for 48 hours under static conditions according to EU Method C.2 Acute toxicity for Daphnia (2008).  Geometric mean measured concentrations were 0.29, 0.58, 1.19, 2.39 and 4.32 mg/L in the nominal 0.63, 1.25, 2.5, 5.0 and 10 mg/L treatments. Based on mean measured concentrations the 24 hour EC50value was calculated to be 2.22 mg/L and the 48 hour EC50value was 1.28 mg/L. The no-observed effect concentration (NOEC) was observed to be 0.58 mg/L.
