Additional information

One GLP Guideline study according to OECD 203 (limit test) is available investigating the short-term toxicity of didocosyl sebacate (CAS 42233-75-0) to freshwater fish (Parr, 2012). Due to the low aqueous solubility of the test item for the purposes of the test the test item was prepared using a slow stir method of preparation.

Following a preliminary range-finding test, seven fish were exposed to a single nominal loading rate of 100 mg/L for a period of 96 hours at a temperature of approximately 14°C under semi-static test conditions. The number of mortalities and any sub-lethal effects of exposure in each test and control vessel were determined 3 and 6 hours after the start of exposure and then daily throughout the test until termination after 96 hours.

The 96-Hour LL50 based on nominal loading rates was greater than 100 mg/L. The No Observed Effect Loading rate was >= 100 mg/L.

It was considered unnecessary and unrealistic to test at loading rates in excess of 100 mg/L. Total Organic Carbon (TOC) analysis of the test preparations at 0 hours (fresh media) and 24 and 96 hours (old media) showed measured test concentrations of less than the limit of quantitation (LOQ), which was considered to be 1.0 mg C/L.
