yes

Remarks:

There was no immobilisation in the control and the dissolved oxigen was more than 3 mg/L)

Executive summary:

A short-term toxicity test on aquatic invertebrates was performed with calcium hydrogenorthophosphate according to OECD Guideline 202, following GLP. In accordance with a range-finding preliminary study, a limit test was performed with Daphnia magna using one concentration test (100 mg/L) and one control group in a static system. Three groups of thirty daphnids were exposed to the test item or the control for 48h. The analysis of the test substance in the test solution was performed at the beginning (0 h) and the end (48 h) of the test using inductively coupled plasma (ICP). No immobility, adverse effects or abnormal behaviour were observed at control or 100 mg/L (nominal). All validity criteria were met. The 48h-EC50 of calcium hydrogenorthophosphate in Daphnia magna was higher than 100 mg/L (nominal) and 2.9 mg/L (measured), based on mobility.

Executive summary:

An acute immobilisation test on Daphnia magna was performed with choline chloride according to OECD Guideline 202, following GLP. The following test item concentrations 0 (control), 100, 180,320, 560 and 1000 mg/L were tested in a static system. Four groups of five daphnids were exposed to the different concentrations of the test item or the control for 48 h. The analysis of the test substance in the test solution was performed at the start (0 h) and at the end of the test (48 h) by HPLC. The 48h-EC50 of test item in Daphnia magna was determined to be 349 mg/L (nominal) and the 48h-NOEC was determined to be 180 mg/L (nominal), both based on mobility.

Description of key information

The available data refer to the degradation products of calcium phosphorylcholine chloride (choline and inorganic phosphate):

- Key study. Method according to OECD 202. GLP study. The 48h-EC50 of choline chloride in Daphnia magna was determined to be 349 mg/L (nominal) and the 48h-NOEC was determined to be 180 mg/L (nominal), both based on mobility.

- Key study. Method according OECD to 202. GLP study. The 48h-EC50 of calcium hydrogenorthophosphate in Daphnia magna was higher than 100 mg/L (nominal) and 2.9 mg/L (measured), based on mobility.

Based on this information, it can be concluded that the substance phosphoryl choline chloride has a 48h-EC50 in Daphnia magna higher than 100 mg/L.
