Sampling and analysis

Analytical monitoring:

yes

Details on sampling:

- Concentrations: Nominal: 5.6, 10, 18, 32 and 56 mg/l
- Sampling method: 10 ml from the approximate centre of the test vessel from freshly prepared solutions of 5.6, 18 and 56 mg/l and from 24h-old
solutions of 5.6, 18 and 56 mg/l. Additionally, reserve samples of 10 ml were taken. These samples were stored in a deep-freeze for possible analysis until delivery of the final report with a maximum of three months.
- Sample storage conditions before analysis: Not applicable, samples were analysed on the day of
sampling.

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 a solution of 100 mg/l (range-finding test) or a stock solution of 1000 mg/I (final test). Magnetic stirring was sufficient to achieve complete dissolution of the test substance in the test medium. The lower concentrations tested were prepared by
subsequent dilutions in test medium.
- Controls: yes, test medium without test substance or other additives.
- Evidence of undissolved material (e.g. precipitate, surface film, etc): The batch of DIHYDROLINALOOL tested was a clear and colourless liquid and
was completely soluble in test medium at the concentrations tested.

Test organisms

Daphnia magna

Details on test organisms:

TEST ORGANISM

Details on results:

- Mortality of control: no immobilisations in the control treatments
- Effect concentrations exceeding solubility of substance in test medium: DIHYDROLINALOOL was completely soluble in test medium at the
concentrations tested.

Results with reference substance (positive control):

- Results with reference substance valid? Yes
- Mortality: 0% in control, 100% at 1 mg/l after 48 hours.
- EC50/LC50: the 48h-EC50 was 0.60 mg/l with 95% fiducial limits of 0.52 - 0.79 mg/l.

Reported statistics and error estimates:

The EC50-value was calculated at 48 hours of exposure from the probits of the percentages of affected daphnia and the logarithms of the
corresponding test substance concentrations using the maximum likelihood estimation method (Finney, D.J 1971: Probit analysis, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, U.K., 3rd edition).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:

yes

Remarks:

Control immobilisation <10%; oxygen contentration remained > 2 mg/l, 24h-EC50 of potassium dichromate within range

Conclusions:

The 48h-EC50 of Dihydrolinalool to Daphnia magna is 32 mg/l.

Executive summary:

The toxicity of Dihydrolinalool towards Daphnia magna was investigated according to ISO Guideline 6341. The 48h-EC50 was found to be 32 mg/l (29 - 37 mg/l), the 24h EC50 was found to be 56 mg/l. The 48h NOEC is 18 mg/l.
