Details on test solutions:

PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION
- Method: Individual treatment solutions (WAF) were prepared by adding the appropriate amount of the test substance to 1 L of dilution water in 1 L size glass aspirator bottles. The vessels were closed with cotton-gauze stoppers to minimize evaporation and/or volatilazition. The solutions were mixed at <10% vortex on magnetic stirplates with Teflon® coated stirbars for approximately 24 hours. All treatment levels appeared clear with test substance floating on the surface. After mixing, the solutions were allowed to settle for approximately one hour before the WAFs were removed through the outlet at the bottom of the aspirator bottle.
- Evidence of undissolved material: No test substance insolubility was observed in any of the test chambers.

Any other information on results incl. tables

The quality of the dilution water used in culture and testing is monitored at weekly, monthly and semi-annual intervals. There are no known contaminants in the feed or water believed to be at levels high enough to interfere with this study based on contaminant analysis and/or historical data.

The TOC analysis indicates that the level of test substance in the WAF was at or near the level of organic carbon in the control. This result confirms the low solubility of the test substance in water and the unsuitability to use the measured concentrations for the determination of the effect value. Thus, the effect value is related to the nominal concentration.
