- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION
In view of the difficulties associated with the evaluation of aquatic toxicity of poorly water soluble test items, a modification of the standard method for the preparation of aqueous media was performed (OECD, 2000). A solvent stock solution was prepared by dissolving 200 mg of test item in a final volume of 10 mL of dimethylformamide (DMF). Dilutions were performed in DMF to give further solvent stock solutions of 10, 5.0, 2.5 and 1.3 mg/L. Aliquots of these solvent stock solutions were dispersed in test water with the aid of magnetic stirring for approximately 10 minutes to give 2.0, 1.0, 0.50, 0.25 and 0.13 mg/L stock solutions respectively. After the stirring period, each of the preparations were filtered (0.2 µm Gelman Acrocap filter, first approximate 100 mL discarded in order to pre-condition the filter) to ensure any undissolved test item was removed. Each prepared concentration was inverted several times to ensure adequate mixing and homogeneity. - Test organisms (species):

METHOD FOR PREPARATION AND COLLECTION OF EARLY INSTARS OR OTHER LIFE STAGES: Culture conditions ensured that reproduction was by parthenogenesis.

These young were removed from the cultures and used for testing. - Test type:

- Sub-lethal effects: sub-lethal effects of exposure were observed in the 1.0 and 2.0 mg/L test concentrations. This response was reduced movement
- Test item solubility: at the start and throughout the test all control and test solutions were observed to be clear colorless solutions.- Results with reference substance (positive control):
- The 24-h EC50 value of the reference substance was determined to be 0.83 mg/L (experiment conducted between 29 February 2016 and 02 March 2016).
- Reported statistics and error estimates:
- The EC50 values and associated confidence limits (if applicable) at 24 and 48 hours and the slope of the response curve and its standard error were calculated by Probit analysis using Linear Maximum-Likelihood regression. The Lowest Observed Effect Concentration and the No Observed Effect Concentration at 24 and 48 hours were calculated using the Step-down Cochran-Armitage Test Procedure. All results were calculated using the ToxRat Professional computer software package (TOXRAT).

- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Remarks:
- No mortality in the control and oxygen concentration and pH were according to the criteria.
- Conclusions:
- The 48-h Daphnia EC50 is 0.87 mg/L.
- Executive summary:
The acute toxicity to aquatic invertebrates was determined in a study according to OECD TG 202 and in compliance with GLP criteria. In this study daphnids (D. magna, 20 per concentration) were exposed to nominal concentrations of 0 (control), 0 (vehicle control), 0.13, 0.25, 0.50, 1.0 and 2.0 mg/L for 48 hours under semi-static conditions. Test concentrations were analytically verified. The 0.13 mg/L test concentration at 0, 24 and 48 hours showed that measured concentrations of between 60 and 81% of nominal were obtained, however, as this concentration was below the No Observed Effect Concentration, this was considered not to have had an impact on the outcome of the test. The other test concentrations remained within 80 - 120% of the nominal test concentrations. Consequently, the effect values are based on nominal test concentrations. Immobility was recorded after 24 and 48 hours exposure. After 48 hours, immobility was determined to be 80 and 95% in the two highest test concentrations, whereas at the other (lower) test concentrations no effects were observed. Based on these findings the 48-h EC50 value was determined at 0.87 mg/L.

Florhydral: Acute Daphnia test
The acute toxicity to aquatic invertebrates was determined in a study according to OECD TG 202 and in compliance with GLP criteria. In this study daphnids (D. magna, 20 per concentration) were exposed to nominal concentrations of 0 (control), 0 (vehicle control),0.958, 1.63. 2.77. 4.71 amd 8 mg/l undersemi-static conditions. Test concentrations were analytically verified. The analytical concentrations remained > 80% of the nominal ones. The effect concentration is based on geometric mean concentrations resulting in an EC50 of 2 mg/l.
