- Details on test solutions:
- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
- Method: The test item is a hydrolytically unstable material. In order to minimise hydrolysis before introduction of algae (treatment) the test solutions were prepared using water-miscible solvent (acetone) as follows: For preparation of each test concentration, individual stock solutions were prepared by dissolving an appropriate amount of test item in acetone. At first step, a work solution (concentration: 25.0 g/L) was prepared by diluting an amount of 0.625 g test item in 25 mL acetone and then the stock solutions were prepared by appropriate diluting of this work solution in acetone. The test solutions of the chosen test concentrations were prepared by appropriate diluting of these stock solutions in the dilution water (OECD medium), each immediately before analytical measurement and treatment.

- Details on results:
- The measured concentrations at each day showed no considerable difference compared to the measured values (at same occasions) of the test concentration of 1.25 mg/L (including algae). Therefore, it could be concluded that no adsorption of the test item on algal biomass occurred.
- Reported statistics and error estimates:
- Mean values and standard deviations of cell concentrations were calculated for each treatment at the start, after 0 h, 24 h, 48 h and at the end of the test (72 hours after the start of the test) using Excel for Windows software. Percentage inhibition of growth rate (μ) and yield (y) were calculated using EXCEL for Windows software. The ErCx, and EyCx values of the test item and their confidence limits were calculated using Probit analysis by TOXSTAT software (based on the measured geometric mean concentrations). For the determination of the LOEC and NOEC, the calculated mean growth rate (μ) and yield (y) at the test concentrations were tested on significant differences to the control values by Bonferroni t-Test using TOXSTAT software.
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The 72-h EC50 value based on growth rate was determined as 0.48 mg/L and based on yield was determined as 0.09 mg/L. The 72-h EC10 value based on growth rate was determined as 0.06 mg/L and based on yield was determined as 0.02 mg/L. The overall NOEC was determined to be 0.03 mg/L.
- Executive summary:
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the test item TBPND on the growth of a unicellular green algal species Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata (formerly: Selenastrum capricornutum). Exponentially growing cultures of Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata were exposed to various concentrations of the test item over several generations under defined conditions. Based on the results of pre-experiments the following six test concentrations in a geometric series (with a separation factor of 2) were tested: 0.08, 0.16, 0.3, 0.63, 1.25 and 2.50 mg/L (nominal). The measured concentrations deviated more than 20 % from the nominal during the experiment therefore the geometric mean of the measured concentrations were calculated in order to determine exposure concentrations. The calculated geometric mean concentrations were the followings: 0.03, 0.05, 0.11, 0.24, 0.48 and 0.82 mg/L. The 72-h EC50 value based on growth rate was determined as 0.48 mg/L and based on yield was determined as 0.09 mg/L. The 72-h EC10 value based on growth rate was determined as 0.06 mg/L and based on yield was determined as 0.02 mg/L. The overall NOEC was determined to be 0.03 mg/L. The results are based on the measured geometric mean concentrations.
