- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION
- Method: A stock solution was freshly prepared prior to exposure, by weighing 100 mg of test item in a beaker and diluted in 100 mL of OECD alga medium. After complete soluble of test item by mixing well using a glass rod, the test item formulation was transferred into a measuring cylinder and the beaker was rinsed with OECD alga medium and transferred again to the measuring cylinder. Rinsing process was repeated until the complete transfer of test contents. A homogeneous distribution of the test item within the stock solution was achieved by stirring using magnetic stirrer shortly before preparation of the test vessels. The required test concentrations were prepared by adding appropriate amount of stock solutions and made up to required volume using OECD alga medium. - Test organisms (species):

GROWTH MEDIUM
- Standard medium used: yes (OECD medium as per OECD TG 201)
TEST MEDIUM / WATER PARAMETERS
- Source/preparation of dilution water: the OECD medium was prepared as per the OECD TG 201.
- Culture medium different from test medium: No
- Intervals of water quality measurement: The temperature (culture medium) and light intensity (parallel to the level of culture medium was recorded at four random locations using a Lux meter) was monitored daily during pre-culture and exposure. The pH of the test concentrations was measured at the beginning (0 hours) and at the end (72 hours) of the exposure.
OTHER TEST CONDITIONS
- Sterile test conditions: yes
- Adjustment of pH: No
- Photoperiod: Constant illumination
- Light intensity and quality: 8185 to 8923 lux with white fluorescent lamp. The maximum value recorded was slightly outside of the recommended range stated in the OECD TG 201 (4440-8880 lux). LIght intensity applied during test was near higher value of the menioned range because the test item is a coloured substance which can absorb light and limit growth of alga and then it could result in growth inhibition which would have been difficult to distighish from inherent toxicity.
EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED (with observation intervals if applicable):
- Determination of cell concentrations: Counting chamber: Samples collected were loaded on haemocytometer and the cells were counted manually using microscope.
Cell density is obtained by calculating the average cell count [average cell counts calculated by summating the number of cells in all the four large corner squares (squares 1 to 4) and dividing the sum by 4] and multiplied with chamber conversion factor (CCF). Then the following formula was used for calculating cell density in mL:
Cell Density (cells/mL)= Average cell count × 10000 (CCF) × Dilution factor
TEST CONCENTRATIONS
- Spacing factor for test concentrations: geometric factor of 2.5
- Justification for using less concentrations than requested by guideline: Not applicable; 6 concentrations used for the main test.
- Range finding study
- Test concentrations: 0 (control), 0.01, 0.1, 1.0, 10.0, 50.0 and 100.0 mg/L.
- Results used to determine the conditions for the definitive study: At the tested concentrations of 0.01, 0.1, 1.0, 10.0, 50.0 and 100.0 mg/L, the average inhibition growth rate was calculated to be 0.13, 1.24, 5.15, 20.75, 100 and 100% respectively. - Reference substance (positive control):

- Conclusions:
- In an Alga Growth Inhibition Test with Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata green algae, the growth rate inhibition effect concentration (72 h-ErC50) of the test substance was found to be 27.96 mg/L.
- Executive summary:
An Algae Growth Inhibition Test was performed with Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata green algae on the test substance over a period of 72 h in static conditions according to OECD Guideline 201, following GLP. OECD medium was used for algal culturing. In the previous solubility study the test item was found soluble in OECD medium and thus no vehicle was needed. In a preliminary range finding study the average growth inhibition rate were 0.13, 1.24, 5.15, 20.75, 100 and 100% at the tested concentrations of 0.01, 0.1, 1.0, 10.0, 50.0 and 100.0 mg/L, respectively. Based on these results, the definitive test was conducted with nominal test item concentrations of 0 (control), 0.5, 1.3, 3.2, 8.0, 20.0 and 50.0 mg/L (factor of 2.5). Test medium alone and 3,5-dichlorophenol 97% were used as negative and positive controls respectively. Three replicates were performed for each concentration of the test item, along with six replicates for the negative control group. A validated analytical method based on LC-MS/MS was used to monitor the concentration and stability of the active ingredient in the test solution. The test item was considered as stable in the testing conditions after 72 hours of exposure as the measured concentrations in samples were maintained within ± 20 per cent of the nominal concentrations. All validity criteria were fulfilled. The percent inhibitions in average specific growth rate were 0.15, 3.36, 6.35, 14.58, 44.86 and 100.0% and the percent inhibitions in yield were 0.79, 15.91, 27.97, 52.97, 90.52 and 100.0% at the tested concentrations of 0.5, 1.3, 3.2, 8.0, 20.0 and 50.0 mg/L respectively, when compared to the negative control. Based on these results, the growth rate inhibition effect concentrations were determined to be 72 h-ErC10 = 4.28 mg/L, 72 h-ErC20 = 8.15 mg/L and 72 h-ErC50 = 27.96 mg/L, and the yield inhibition effect concentrations were 72h-EyC10 = 1.41 mg/L, 72h-EyC20 = 2.26 mg/L and 72h-EyC50 = 5.60 mg/L. The 72 hours No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC) and Lowest Observed Effect Concentration (LOEC) were calculated to be 0.5 mg/L and 1.3 mg/L respectively.

Description of key information
Key study. Test method according to OECD 201, GLP study. The growth rate inhibition effect concentrations to Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata green algae were determined to be 72 h-ErC50 = 27.96 mg/L and 72 h-ErC10 = 4.28 mg/L. The NOEC and LOEC were calculated to be 0.5 mg/L and 1.3 mg/L respectively for the 72 h-study.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- EC50 for freshwater algae:
- 27.96 mg/L
- EC10 or NOEC for freshwater algae:
- 4.28 mg/L
