Sampling and analysis
- Analytical monitoring:
- yes
- Details on sampling:
- Determination of the test item
All test item concentrations and the control were analytically verified via HPLC-DAD at the first interval. The control, the lowest and the highest test item concentration were analytically verified at the end of the exposure (7 days) and on every renewal day. Freshly prepared and old media were analyzed. The samples were analyzed with an HPLC-DAD method. The method was implemented under non-GLP but documented in the raw data and validated. The method validation was not part of this GLP study.
Test solutions
- Vehicle:
- no
- Details on test solutions:
- Preparation of the Test item solution
A stock solution with a nominal test item concentration of 100 mg/L was freshly prepared with dilution water (see Table 2) and agitated until the solution was visually clear. The test item solution was red coloured.
Test concentrations
Based on the results of a preliminary range finding test (see section 18) 5 concentrations were tested with a dilution factor of 4: 0.391 - 1.56 - 6.25 - 25.0 - 100 mg/L.
Control
Six replicates (without test item) were tested under the same test conditions as the test vessels.
Test organisms
- Test organisms (species):
- Lemna gibba
- Details on test organisms:
- Test organism
Duckweed, Lemna gibba G3, Lemnaceae, Arales, Arecidae, Monocotyledonae
Young, rapidly growing plants without visible lesions or discolouration (chlorosis) were used for the test.
Reason for the selection of the test organism
According to the guideline, Lemna gibba is a suitable species because it is a representative of temperate areas commonly used for toxicity tests.
Origin
EUROFINS-GAB GMBH, Eutinger Str. 24, 75223 Niefern-Öschelbronn, Germany
Cultivation at test facility
The species is cultured in the test facility. Density is kept low to prevent conglomerates of plants on the surface. At least once per week, plants are transferred to freshly prepared growth medium. Growth media and culturing vessels are autoclaved before use to enable the breeding of axenic cultures.

The pH of the test medium had to be 7.5 +/- 0.1 and was adjusted prior to testing with the addition of 1 N NaOH and HCl.
Temperature 24 ± 2 °C
Light regime
Continuous fluorescent light, 1100 – 4440 lux
Acclimatization of the test system
The test system (the test organism) was held for 7 days under test conditions to acclimatize. These acclimatized plants were used in the test.

Semi-static procedure
Test duration
7 days
Replicates
3 replicates per concentration level, 6 for the control.
Test vessels/test volumes
Crystallisation dishes with a volume of 500 mL, covered with glass tops and filled with 200 mL test solution were used in the test. The test vessels were placed on a black non-reflective surface to avoid stray light.
Dilution water
20X-AAP-medium according to the guideline.
Application
Static with application of the test item at test start. At the start of the exposure, 3 uniform, healthy plants (colonies of 4 fronds each), were introduced into each test vessel containing the test media. The initial frond number per test vessel was 12. The initial numbers of colonies and fronds were the same in each test vessel.
Temperature (Target)
24 ± 2 °C
Light regime (Target)
Continuous, fluorescent light, 6500 to 10000 lux on the surface of the test medium (difference of light intensity at any measured incubation place < 15 % from the mean value)
Placement of the test vessels
A randomised placement of the test vessels was carried out.
Type and frequency of measurements
The numbers of plants and fronds were determined at the start and
the end of the exposure. The number of fronds was determined every 2 - 3 days from each replicate of the control and the test concentrations. Every frond that visibly projected beyond the edge of a parent frond was counted as a separate frond. Fronds that lost their pigmentation were not counted.
Observations of frond size, appearance, indication of necrosis, chlorosis or gibbosity, colony break-up or loss of buoyancy, of root length and appearance, as well as of change in colour and destruction of roots, were made on every determination day and at the end of the exposure.
After 7 days, the determination of dry weight was carried out from 3 replicates per test concentration and 6 control replicates. Colonies from each test vessel were collected, rinsed with deionised water and then dried at 60 °C to a constant weight. Any root fragments were included. The dry weight was expressed to an accuracy of
0.1 mg.
The dry weight of the starting biomass was determined based on a sample of fronds (same number of fronds as in the test vessels) taken from the same batch used to inoculate the test vessels.
Physico-chemical Parameters
The pH-values were measured in the freshly prepared solutions before distribution into the replicates. The pH-values of the aged solution were measured from pooled replicates per concentration and control. The temperature of the medium in a surrogate vessel held under the same conditions in the growth room was recorded daily. The light intensity was measured prior to the start of the exposure at positions which had the same distance from the light source as the Lemna fronds. - Reference substance (positive control):
- yes

- Statistics
For the determination of NOEC, LOEC and EC-values, three replicates were included for the test concentrations and six replicates for the control.
NOEC, LOEC and statistical analyses
The NOEC and LOEC were determined by calculation of statistically significant differences of growth rates and yield.
The following statistical tests were conducted:
Shapiro-Wilk’s test on normal distribution was done with a significance level of 0.01.
Levene’s test on variance homogeneity was done with a significance level of 0.01.
Monotonicity of concentration/response was done by trend analysis by contrasts (significance level 0.05).
William’s multiple sequential t-test was carried out with a significance level of 0.05.
Step-down Jonckheere-Terpstra Test Procedure was done with a significance level of 0.05.
EC-values and statistical analyses
EC10-, EC20- and EC50-values (0 - 7 d) of the growth rate and yield (frond number and dry weight) inhibition were calculated by sigmoidal dose-response regression. Calculations of the confidence intervals of EC10-, EC20- and EC50-values were carried out from the best fit values, the standard error and the t-distribution with the software GraphPad Prism.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- In this study, Reactive Red 123 was found to inhibit the growth of the monocotyledonous aquatic plant Lemna gibba after 7-day exposure under semi-static conditions, with the following effect values (nominal test item concentrations): The EC50-values for both inhibition of the specific growth rate (fronds and dry weight) (ErC50, ErdwC50) were > 100 and yield (fronds and dry weight) (EyC50, EydwC50) were > 100.
- Executive summary:
The effects of the test item Reactive Red123 on the growth of the monocotyledonous aquatic plant species Lemna gibba was determined according to the principles of OECD 221 and Council Regulation (EC) No. 761/2009 Method C. 26 at the test facility from 2018-04-18 to 2018-04-26, with the definitive exposure phase from 2018-04-18 to 2018-04-25.
Lemna gibba was exposed to the test item for 7 days under semi-static conditions. Based on a preliminary test, 5 nominal test item concentration levels were tested in a geometrical series with a dilution factor of 4:0.391 - 1.56 - 6.25 - 25.0 - 100 mg/L. Three replicates were investigated for each test concentration and six for the control. Frond numbers were assessed on days 0, 2, 5 and 7. Environmental parameters (light, pH and temperature) were within the acceptable limits. All test solutions were concentration-related red coloured throughout the exposure.The validity criteria of the test guideline were fulfilled.
The concentrations of the test item Reactive Red 123 and the control were analysed via HPLC-DAD at the first interval. The control, the lowest and the highest test item concentration were analytically verified at the end of the exposure and on every renewal day.
At the start of the first interval the measured concentrations of Reactive Red 123 were in the range of 96 and 102% of the nominal values. At the end of the first interval the measured concentrations were between 92 and 102% of the nominal values. All effect values are given based on the nominal test item concentrations.
