Test solutions

Vehicle:

no

Details on test solutions:

Test water:
Reconstituted water: analytical grade salts were dissolved deionized water to obtain the following nominal concentrations:
CaCl2 X 2H2O 2.0 mmol/L (= 294 mg/L)
MgSO4 X 7H2O 0.5 mmol/L (=123 mg/L)
NaHCO3 0.75 mmol/L (= 65 mg/L)
KCl 0.075 mmol/L (= 5.8 mg/L)
Alkalinity 0.8 mmol/L
Ratio of Ca : Mg 4 : 1 (based on molarity)
Na:K 10 : 1 (based on molarity)


WAF preparation:
5 individual preparaed stocksolutions 5, 6, 50, 160, 500mg in 5L test water)
ultrasonic treatment for 15 minutes and intense stirring for 4 days (dark, room temperature)
saturated aqueous dispersions were filtered through a membrane filter (Schleicher & Schuelll, Type NC20, pore size 0.2 microm) before the strat of the test

Test organisms

Test organisms (species):

Daphnia magna

Details on test organisms:

clone of the species Daphnia magna Straus. A clone of this species was originally supplied by the University of Sheffield/UK in 1992, defined from the supplier as clone 5. Since this date the clone is bred in the laboratories of RCC in reconstituted water of the quality identical to the water quality used in the tests (regarding pH, main ions and total hardness) and under temperature and light conditions identical to those of the tests (see below).
At the start of the test the used test organisms were 6-24 hours old and were not first brood progeny.
