Additional information

The influence of the test item Sulfosuccinate of Lanolin Alcohol on the growth of the green algal species Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, formerly known as Selenastrum capricornutum, was investigated in a 72-hour test according to the OECD Guideline No. 201, 2006.

For this purpose, exponentially growing test algae were exposed for 72 hours to an aqueous test medium containing the active ingredient at five different concentrations, namely 1.0, 3.1, 9.8, 31.3 and 100.0 mg/L, corresponding to 3.2, 10.2, 32.5, 104.2 and 333.3 mg/L as test item (active ingredient content 30 %).

In the test item solutions the algal growth rate (r) after 72 hours of exposure was inhibited by a minimum value of 1.1 % for the nominal active ingredient concentration of 1.0 mg/L ( 3.2 mg/L as test item) to a maximum value of 11.2 % for the highest active ingredient concentration of 100.0 mg/L (333.3 mg/L as test item), compared to the negative control.

In the test item solutions the algal yield (Y) after 72 hours of exposure was inhibited by a minimum value of 6.0 % for the nominal active ingredient concentration of 1.0 mg/L ( 3.2 mg/L as test item) to a maximum value of 45.9 % for the highest active ingredient concentration of 100.0 mg/L (333.3 mg/L as test item), compared to the negative control.
