- Substance specific analysis was performed at the test site of menal GmbH.
- The sampling was conducted according to the following specification:
After 0 h, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h exposure, both additional vessels of NC, A, B, C, D and E were sampled; two samples per replicate: 4 samples of 1 mL per treatment group.
For each sampled treatment, two of the analytic samples from 0 h, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h were sent to the analytical laboratory for chemical analysis using an insulated box with thermal packs.
The remaining samples were stored as retain samples in the freezer (≤ -18 °C) until finalization of the study.
- Concentrations: NC (nominal 0 mg/L), A (nominal 0.1 mg/L), B (nominal 0.3 mg/L), C (nominal 0.9 mg/L), D (nominal 2.7 mg/L) and E (nominal 8.1 mg/L)
- Sampling method: The samples were filled into 8 mL glass vials. To each vial, 1 mL acetonitrile was added and samples were stored in the freezer (≤ -18 °C).
- Sample storage conditions before analysis: Samples were stored at -20 °C ± 10 °C at menal GmbH until analysis (in medium/ACN, 50/50, v/v) at least until finalization of the phase report after which they will be destroyed or further stored. On assay day, samples were thawed at room temperatures and directly transferred into an HPLC-vial.

This stock solution was used as highest test concentration in the test. Into each test vessel for the test item treatment and negative control (NC), 50 mL test preparation (test solution and algal inoculum) was transferred. The further test item concentrations were prepared by diluting the stock solution with test medium (dilution factor of 3).

TEST MEDIUM / WATER PARAMETERS
- Source/preparation of dilution water: solutions to make the 10-fold concentrated test medium were dissolved in deionised water; 1-fold concentrated medium was prepared by diluting 10-fold medium with ultrapure water
- Intervals of water quality measurement: The pH was measured at the start and end of the test; vessels were kept in light incubator (21 - 24 °C, constant within ± 2 °C) and continuously illuminated by LEDs (warm white)
OTHER TEST CONDITIONS
- Sterile test conditions: no
- Adjustment of pH: no
- Photoperiod: continuous
- Light intensity and quality: Mean light intensity was 84.5 µE m-2 s-1 ± 7.5%, supplied by LEDs
EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED (with observation intervals if applicable) : cell density, every 24 h; The inhibition of algal growth was determined from yield and growth rate; calculation according to the OECD guideline 201
- Determination of cell concentrations: To convert the measured surrogate parameter chlorophyll fluorescence into a cell concentration (the measure for biomass), a correlation factor is determined twice a year within the quality check by measuring cell concentrations of different dilutions with the Coulter Counter and the corresponding fluorescence with the microplate fluorescence reader. Chlorophyll fluorescence values are correlated with measured cell concentrations. The slope of the curve gives the conversion factor. By means of the conversion factor, the surrogate parameter chlorophyll fluorescence is converted into a cell concentration
- Chlorophyll measurement: The algal biomass was monitored by measuring the chlorophyll fluorescence after 0 h, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h. From each test vessel, 200 µL test solution was transferred into a 96-well microplate and the fluorescence measured with the fluorescence microplate reader at an excitation wavelength of 465 nm and an emission wavelength of 670 nm. Each measurement was conducted in duplicate. If the variation coefficient was > 10%, the measurement was repeated. Test medium was measured as blank value and subtracted from the fluorescence values in the test vessels.

- Not applicable
- Reported statistics and error estimates:
- The software used to perform the statistical analysis was ToxRat Professional, Version 3.2.1, ToxRat Solutions GmbH.
As the measured test item concentrations are not within ±20% of the nominal concentrations, according to OECD 201 (2006), all results are given in relation to the analytically measured test item concentrations (geometric mean concentrations).
During the pre-tests for the studies with Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, an unknown potential degradation product (probably an oxidation product of the test item, according to the sponsor) with a similar mass as the test item was observed as a second peak in the chromatogram diluting directly after the test item. This potential degradation product was not identified until this study was conducted. The potential degradation product could not be identified (additional equipment, resources and experience with regards to the behavior of the test item in the test solution (e.g. kinetics) would be required), the results are based on the parent molecule.

- Conclusions:
- In a Freshwater Alga and Cyanobacteria, Growth Inhibition Test according to OECD guideline 201, Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata was exposed to the test item for 72 h. An ErC50 (endpoint Growth rate) was determined to equal 1.26 mg/L. The evaluation of the endpoint Yield revealed an EbC50 of 0.44 mg/L.
- Executive summary:
In a 72-hour acute toxicity study, the cultures of Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata (Strain No. 61.81 SAG) were exposed to 1,3,5-Tris-(3-mercaptopropyl)isocyanurate at nominal concentrations of 0.1, 0.3, 0.9, 2.7, and 8.1 mg/L, and measured concentrations of <LOD (0.05), <LOD (0.05), 0.15, 0.51 and 1.99 mg/L under static conditions in accordance with the OECD guideline 201.
The NOErC and ErC50values based on growth rate were 0.15 mg/L and 1.26 mg/L, respectively.
No abnormalities were noted.
