Details on test conditions:

TEST SYSTEM
- Test vessel:
- Type (delete if not applicable):closed
- Material, size, headspace, fill volume: covered glass 30 mL beakers or plastic cups containing 15 mL of the test solution or control
- Aeration: no, The test solutions were not aerated, although DO concentration was determined prior to the experiment and adjusted to above 40% saturation.
- Renewal rate of test solution (frequency/flow rate): 24 hour-renewal. . The test solutions were renewed daily during each test, accomplished by placing the newly prepared test solutions in clean beakers with food and transferring the adult C. dubia into the new test solutions.
- No. of organisms per vessel: 1; 10 beakers, one organism per beaker containing 15 mL test solution, were used for each test concentration and for the control.
- No. of vessels per concentration (replicates): 4
- No. of vessels per control (replicates): 4
- No. of vessels per vehicle control (replicates): no data available
- Biomass loading rate: no data available

TEST MEDIUM / WATER PARAMETERS
No data available

OTHER TEST CONDITIONS
- Adjustment of pH: Sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid were used to adjust the pH of the test solution, prior to testing, if needed.
- Photoperiod: A 16-hour light: 8 hour dark photoperiod was automatically controlled to regulate light and photoperiod.
- Light intensity: no data available

EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED (with observation intervals if applicable) : Reproduction was monitored by counting the number of live and dead young, which were discarded each time the adults were transferred to a new test solution.
NOEC, LOEC and LC50 values were calculated based on adult survival, reproduction

TEST CONCENTRATIONS
- Spacing factor for test concentrations: 0.5
- Range finding study
- Test concentrations: A range-finding toxicity test was conducted initially on each fragrance chemical at one to three times the estimated water solubility to determine the test concentrations for the definitive chronic toxicity tests.
- Results used to determine the conditions for the definitive study: Based on the results of the range-finding tests, we initiated the definitive chronic toxicity tests with C. dubia using three times the estimated water solubility as the highest test concentration and a dilution factor of 0.5 to produce test concentrations.

Conclusions:

Executive summary:

A static renewal Ceriodaphnia dubia chronic toxicity test (7-days) was performed with Iso bornyl cyclo hexanol according to EPA/600/4-90/027 and ASTM's Methods E729, 1997, Volume 11.05.

Results:

- LC50: 1.93 mg/L

-       NOEC: 0.68 mg/L (based on reproduction)

-       LOEC: 1.36 mg/L (based on reproduction)

With a NOEC-7days: 0.68 mg/L, isobornylcyclohexanol is toxic to aquatic invertebrates with long lasting effects.

Description of key information

The test item, isobornylcyclohexanol, was considered toxic to aquatic invertebrates with long lasting effects.

The 7-d NOEC of isobornylcyclohexanol to Ceriodaphnia dubia was determined to be 0.68 mg/L based on the reproduction; revealing it is toxic to aquatic invertebrates with long lasting effects.

Additional information

A study, scored as Klimisch 2 and flagged as a key study, is available on isobornylcyclohexanol, giving a 7-d-NOEC : 0.68 mg/L and revealing that isobornylcyclohexanol is toxic to aquatic invertebrates with long lasting effects (S.C. Johnson, 2005).
