A further solvent stock solution was prepared by dissolving 2 mL of the 1.04 mg/mL stock concentration in a final volume of 20 mL of DMF to give a 0.104 mg/mL solvent stock solution. An aliquot (200 μL) of the 0.104 mg/mL solvent stock solution was dispersed in 2 liters of test water with the aid of magnetic stirring for approximately 5 minutes to produce the test concentration of 0.0104 mg/L. The solvent stocks were prepared weekly and stored refrigerated when not in use.
The prepared concentration was inverted several times to ensure adequate mixing and homogeneity. - Test organisms (species):

- Details on results:
- - Lethal Effects on the Parental Generation (P1)
Low levels of mortality (10%) were observed in the control and solvent control and no mortalities were apparent at the test concentration of 0.0056 mg/L.
As this test was conducted as a “Limit Test” and no effects were apparent, the LOEC could not be determined.
- Sub-lethal Effects on the Parental Generation (P1)
No sub-lethal effects of exposure were observed in the control, solvent control and at the 0.0056 mg/L test concentration.
After 21 days the length of each surviving adult was determined. The results showed that there were no statistically significant differences (P≥0.05) between the pooled control and the 0.0056 mg/L test group in terms of length of the daphnids after 21 days exposure to the test item.
The NOEC values (body length) based on the geometric mean measured test
concentration was calculated using the Student t-test procedure incorporating Shapiro-Wilk's test on normal distribution and Levene’s test on variance homogeneity at 21 days. As this test was conducted as a “Limit Test” and no effects were apparent, the LOEC value could not be determined.
- Effects on Reproduction
After 21 days there were no statistically significant differences (P≥0.05) between the pooled control and the 0.0056 mg/L test group in terms of the numbers of live young produced per surviving adult. The NOEC values (reproduction) based on the geometric mean measured test
concentration was calculated using the Student t-test procedure incorporating Shapiro-Wilk's test on normal distribution and Levene’s test on variance homogeneity at 21 days. As this test was conducted as a “Limit Test” and no effects were apparent, the LOEC value could not be determined.
- Effects on the Filial Generation (F1)
Information on the effects of the test item on the F1 generation is limited, since, by study design, the young are removed soon after liberation from the brood pouch. However, all "filial" daphnids produced by the control, solvent control groups and 0.0056 mg/L test group were observed to be of normal appearance.
Young were first produced in the control and solvent control groups on Day 8 of the test. There were no unhatched eggs or dead young observed in the control, solvent control or
0.0056 mg/L test group throughout the test. - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- N/A
- Reported statistics and error estimates:
- The "No Observed Effect Concentration" (NOEC) for the number of parental generation Daphnia mortalities for the control, solvent control and each test group was estimated by inspection of the mortality data. For reproduction, the Numbers of live young produced per surviving adult over the duration of the test for the pooled control and the test group were compared using the Student t-test procedure incorporating Shapiro-Wilk's test on normal distribution and Levene’s test on variance homogeneity. Results from the pooled control and the test group Daphnia length data,
determined for the surviving daphnids on termination of the test, were compared using the Student t-test procedure incorporating Shapiro-Wilk's test on normal distribution and Levene’s test on variance homogeneity. - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- No effects were observed on immobilisation, reproduction and body length at the geometric mean concentration tested, 0.0056 mg/L.
- Executive summary:
Introduction
A study was performed to assess the chronic toxicity of the test item to Daphnia magna. The method followed was designed to be compatible with the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals (2012) No 211, "Daphnia magna Reproduction Test" referenced as Method C.20 of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008.
Methods
Preliminary solubility work conducted indicated that it was not possible to obtain a testable solution of the test item using traditional methods of preparation e.g. ultrasonication and high shear mixing.
Information provided by the Sponsor indicated the water solubility of the test item to be 0.0104 mg/L.
A solvent spike method of preparation was considered most appropriate for this test item. Based on the results of a preliminary range-finding test, Daphnia magna were exposed
(10 replicates of a single daphnid per group) to a solution of the test item at a nominal
concentration of 0.0104 mg/L for a period of 21 days. The test solutions were renewed daily throughout the test. An initial solvent stock solution was prepared by dissolving a nominal amount of test item (10.4 mg) in a final volume of 10 mL of dimethylformamide (DMF) to give a 1.04 mg/mL solvent stock solution. A further solvent stock solution was prepared by dissolving 2 mL of the 1.04 mg/mL stock concentration in a final volume of 20 mL of DMF to give a 0.104 mg/mL solvent stock solution. An aliquot (200 µL) of the 0.104 mg/mL solvent stock solution was dispersed in 2 liters of test water with the aid of magnetic stirring for approximately 5 minutes to produce the test concentration 0.0104 mg/L.
The numbers of live and dead adult Daphnia and young daphnids (live and dead) were determined daily. The Daphnia were fed daily with an algal suspension and supplemented with GM300 fish food suspension on Days 0, 1, 2 and 3.
Results
Analysis of the fresh test preparations on Days 0, 5, 12 and 20 showed measured test concentrations to range from 0.00897 to 0.0129 mg/L (between 86 and 124% of nominal). A decline in measured test concentration of the aged test preparations on Days 1, 6, 13 and 21 was observed to be between 0.00185 and 0.00402 mg/L (between 18 and 35% of freshly prepared media concentrations). Given these results it was considered appropriate to calculate the results based on the geometric mean measured test concentrations only in order to give a “worst case” analysis of the data. The geometric mean measured test concentration was determined to be 0.0056 mg/L. Analysis of the solvent stocks confirmed that these were stable for greater than seven days when stored refrigerated.
Exposure of Daphnia magna to the test item gave the following results based on the geometric mean measured test concentration:
