Sampling and analysis

Analytical monitoring:

yes

Details on sampling:

- Sampling method: Samples for possible analysis were taken from all test concentrations and the control at t=0 and t=48h. 1.0 mL of volume was taken from the approximate centre of the test vessels. At the end of the exposure period, the replicates were pooled at each concentration before sampling.
- Sample storage conditions before analysis: the samples were stored in a freezer. Additionally, reserve samples of 1.0 mL were taken for possible analysis.

Test solutions

Vehicle:

no

Details on test solutions:

PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
- Method: Preparation of test solutions started with the highest concentration (100 mg/L). Only vigorous mixing (vortexing) was needed to fully dissolve the test item in test medium at the highest concentration prepared.
- Evidence of undissolved material (e.g. precipitate, surface film, etc): final solutions were clear and colourless

Test organisms

Test organisms (species):

Daphnia magna

Details on test organisms:

TEST ORGANISM
- Common name: Water flea
- Source: in-house laboratory culture with a known history
- Age at study initiation (mean and range, SD): <24h (from parental daphnids of more than 2 weeks old)
- Method of breeding: 250 newborn daphnids are placed into 5 L of medium in an all-glass culture vessel. Medium is M7. After 7 days of cultivation half of the medium is renewed twice a week.
- Feeding during test: no

ACCLIMATION
- Acclimation period: max. 4 weeks
- Acclimation conditions (same as test or not): yes
- Type and amount of food: freshwater algae
- Feeding frequency: daily
- Health during acclimation (any mortality observed): no

Results with reference substance (positive control):

- Results with reference substance valid? yes (should lie between 0.3 and 1.0 mg/L)
- EC50/LC50: 48h-EC50 = 0.38 mg/L

Reported statistics and error estimates:

Calculations of EC50.
The 48h-EC50-value was calculated from the weibits of the percentages of affected daphnids and the logarithms of the corresponding test item concentrations (initially measured) using the maximum likelihood estimation method.
The 24h-EC50 could not be determined because the observed effects were below 50%
ToxRat Professional v 3.0.0. (ToxRat Solutions gmbh, Germany) was used to perform the analyses.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:

yes

Conclusions:

The acute toxicity of T001310 to Daphnia magna was determined in a 48-hour static test according to the OECD guideline 202.
The 48h-EC50 was determined to be 92 mg/L (95% CL 78-110 mg/L). The results of the test can be considered reliable without restriction.
