The test concentrations to be used in the definitive test were determined by a preliminary range-finding test. The range-finding test was conducted by exposing Lemna minor to a series of nominal test concentrations of 1.0, 10 and 100 mg/L for a period of 7 days. The test was conducted in glass conical flasks (500 mL). Two replicate flasks were prepared for each control and test concentration. The test item was dissolved directly in culture medium. A nominal amount of test item (100 mg) was dissolved in culture medium and the volume adjusted to 1 liter to give a 100 mg/L test concentration from which a series of dilutions was made to give further test concentrations of 10 and 1.0 mg/L. Each of the prepared concentrations was inverted several times to ensure adequate mixing and homogeneity.

- Range-finding Test
The frond counts and percentage inhibition of growth values from the exposure of Lemna minor to the test item during the range-finding test were determined. The results showed no effect on growth at the test concentration of 1.0 mg/L. However, growth was observed to be reduced at 10 and 100 mg/L.
Based on this information test concentrations of 1.0, 3.2, 10, 32 and 100 mg/L were selected for the definitive test.
Chemical analysis of the test preparations on Day 2 (fresh media) (see Annex 3) showed measured test concentrations to range from 49 % to 84 % of nominal whilst concentrations of the corresponding expired media on Day 5 showed measured test concentrations to range from 62% to 77% of nominal. Analysis of the test preparations which had been incubated alongside the test for a period of 7 days showed measured test concentrations to range from 82% to 88% of nominal indicating that the test item was stable over the test duration. Examination of the data could find no cause for the low measured concentrations seen on Day 2 and Day 5.
Definitive Test
Verification of Test Concentrations
Chemical analysis of the test preparations on Day 0 (fresh media) showed measured test concentrations to range from 80% to 91% of nominal. Near nominal concentrations were obtained from the test preparations on Day 7 with the exception of the 1.0 and 3.2 mg/L test samples which saw a decline in measured concentrations to 66% and 79% of nominal respectively. Given this decline in measured test concentrations it was considered appropriate to calculate the results based on the geometric mean measured test concentrations in order to give a “worst case” analysis of the data.
Validation Criteria
The data show that the doubling time of the control cultures was 1.75 days in line with the OECD Guideline that states the doubling time should be less than 2.5 days:
Mean frond number in control cultures at day 0: 9
Mean frond number in control cultures at day 7: 103
Growth Data Based on Frond Number
Numbers of fronds in each flask in the definitive test were determined and the average specific growth rates, yields and percentage inhibition values calculated.
Accordingly the following results based on inhibition of average specific growth rate and yield were determined from the frond number data
Average Specific Growth Rate
ErC10 (frond number) = 0.67 mg/L
ErC20 (frond number) = 3.7 mg/L
ErC50 (frond number) = 69 mg/L
Where:
ErCx = the test concentration that reduced average specific growth rate by x%.
Statistical analysis of the average specific growth rate data was carried out for the control and all test concentrations using one way analysis of variance incorporating Bartlett's test for homogeneity of variance (Sokal and Rohlf 1981) and Dunnett's multiple comparison procedure for comparing several treatments with a control (Dunnett 1955). There were no statistically significant differences between the control and 0.75 mg/L test concentrations (P≥0.05) and therefore the "No Observed Effect Concentration" (NOEC) in terms of inhibition of average specific growth rates calculated from frond numbers was 0.75 mg/L. Correspondingly the “Lowest Observed Effect Concentration” (LOEC) was determined to be 2.7 mg/L.
Yield
EyC10 (frond number) = 0.94 mg/L
EyC20 (frond number) =1.2 mg/L
EyC50 (frond number) = 3.9 mg/L
Where:
EyCx = the test concentration that reduced yield by x%.
Statistical analysis of the yield data was carried out for the control and all test concentrations. There were no statistically significant differences between the control and 0.75 mg/L test concentration (P≥0.05), however all other test concentrations were significantly different (P<0.05) and, therefore the "No Observed Effect Concentration" (NOEC) in terms of inhibition of yield calculated from frond numbers was 0.75 mg/L. Correspondingly the “Lowest Observed Effect Concentration” (LOEC) was determined to be 2.7 mg/L.
Growth Data Based on Dry Weight
The dry weight of Lemna minor in each flask in the definitive test was determined and average specific growth rates, yield and percentage inhibition values calculated. Accordingly the following results based on inhibition of average specific growth rate and yield were determined from the dry weight data:
Average Specific Growth Rate
ErC10 (dry weight) = 1.2 mg/L
ErC20 (dry weight) = 2.5 mg/L
ErC50 (dry weight) = >86 mg/L*
Where:
ErCx = the test concentration that reduced average specific growth rate by x%.
* It was not possible to calculate an ErC50 value as no concentration tested resulted in greater than 50% inhibition of growth rate.
Statistical analysis of the average specific growth rate data was carried out for the control and all test concentrations. There were no statistically significant differences between the control and 0.75 mg/L test concentration (P≥0.05), however all other test concentrations were significantly different (P<0.05) and, therefore the "No Observed Effect Concentration" (NOEC) in terms of inhibition of average specific growth rate calculated from dry weight was 0.75 mg/L. Correspondingly the “Lowest Observed Effect Concentration” (LOEC) was determined to be 2.7 mg/L.
Yield
EyC10 (dry weight) = 0.88 mg/L
EyC20 (dry weight) = 1.1 mg/L
EyC50 (dry weight) = 3.2 mg/L
Where:
EyCx = the test concentration that reduced yield by x%.
Statistical analysis of the yield data was carried out for the control and all test concentrations. There were no statistically significant differences between the control and 0.75 mg/L test concentration (P≥0.05), however all other test concentrations were significantly different (P<0.05) and, therefore the "No Observed Effect Concentration" (NOEC) in terms of inhibition of yield calculated from dry weight was 0.75 mg/L. Correspondingly the “Lowest Observed Effect Concentration” (LOEC) was determined to be 2.7 mg/L. - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- See "Any other information on results incl. tables"
- Reported statistics and error estimates:
- One way analysis of variance incorporating Bartlett's test for homogeneity of variance (Sokal and Rohlf, 1981), and Dunnett's multiple comparison procedure for comparing several treatments with a control (Dunnett, 1955), were carried out on the average specific growth rate and yield data at 7 days for the control and all test concentrations to determine any statistically significant differences between the test and control groups. All statistical analyses were performed using the SAS computer software package (SAS, 1999-2001).
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The average specific growth rate (frond number) EC50 was reported to be 69 mg/L and the corresponding NOEC was reported to be 0.75 mg/L.
- Executive summary:
A study was performed to assess the effect of the test item on the growth of the freshwater plant Lemna minor. The method followed that described in the OECD Guideline No. 221 “Lemna sp. Growth Inhibition Test (March 2006)”.
Methods
Following a preliminary range-finding test, Lemna minor was exposed to an aqueous solution of the test item at concentrations of 1.0, 3.2, 10, 32 and 100 mg/L (three replicate flasks per concentration) for a period of 7 days, under constant illumination at a temperature of 24 ± 1 °C. The number of fronds in each control and treatment group was recorded on days 0, 2, 5 and 7 along with observations on plant development. Chemical analysis was performed on random samples collected at Day 0 and Day 7.
Results
Chemical analysis of the test preparations on Day 0 (fresh media) showed measured test concentrations to range from 80 % to 91 % of nominal. Near nominal concentrations were obtained from the test preparations on Day 7 with the exception of the 1.0 and 3.2 mg/L test samples which saw a decline in measured concentrations to 66 % and 79 % of nominal respectively. Given this decline in measured test concentrations it was considered appropriate to calculate the results based on the geometric mean measured test concentrations in order to give a “worst case” analysis of the data.
Exposure of Lemna minor to the test item gave the following results based on the geometric mean measured test concentrations:
