EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED: At the start and throughout the test all control and test solutions were observed to be clear colorless solutions.
VEHICLE CONTROL PERFORMED: No.
RANGE-FINDING STUDY
An initial range finding test was conducted on the basis that the test item was soluble, however, analysis showed that it was not readily soluble in the media required for the test, therefore a preliminary media preparation trial was conducted. The media preparation trial showed that the test item was soluble using a prolonged stirring method of preparation. The test concentrations to be used in the definitive test were determined by a second range-finding test.
- Test concentrations: 0.10, 1.0, 10 and 100 mg/L.
- Results used to determine the conditions for the definitive study: No immobilization was observed at the test concentrations of 0.10, 1.0 and 10 mg/L, however, 100% immobilization was observed at 100 mg/L. A sub lethal effect was observed in the 10 mg/L test group, this was reduced movement. Based on these results, the following test concentrations were assigned to the definitive test: 1.0, 3.2, 10, 32 and 100 mg/L. - Reference substance (positive control):
- yes
- Remarks:
- Potassium dichromate
- Key result
- Duration:
- 48 h
- Dose descriptor:
- EC50
- Effect conc.:
- 11 mg/L
- Conc. based on:
- test mat. (dissolved fraction)
- Remarks:
- geometric mean measured test concentration
- Basis for effect:
- mobility
- Duration:
- 48 h
- Dose descriptor:
- NOEC
- Effect conc.:
- 26 mg/L
- Conc. based on:
- test mat. (dissolved fraction)
- Remarks:
- geometric mean measured test concentration
- Basis for effect:
- mobility
- Duration:
- 48 h
- Dose descriptor:
- LOEC
- Effect conc.:
- 9.2 mg/L
- Conc. based on:
- test mat. (dissolved fraction)
- Remarks:
- geometric mean measured test concentration
- Basis for effect:
- mobility
- Details on results:
- - Behavioural abnormalities: Sub-lethal effects of exposure were observed in the 0.82, 2.7 and 9.2 mg/L test concentrations. These responses were reduced mobility and covered with debris.
- Mortality of control: None observed. - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- - Results with reference substance valid?: Yes. The results from the positive control with potassium dichromate were within the normal range for this reference item. The results of the inter laboratory tests and a Technical Corrigendum to ISO 6341 give a 24-Hour EC50 for potassium dichromate within the range 0.6 mg/L to 2.1 mg/L.
- Relevant effect levels:
24 hour NOEC 0.56 mg/L
48 hour NOEC 0.56 mg/L
24 hour LOEC 1.0 mg/L
48 hour LOEC 1.0 mg/L
24 hour EC50 0.79 mg/L
48 hour EC50 0.75 mg/L - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- Measured test concentrations were observed to have declined in the majority of samples, therefore, results were based on the geometric mean measured test concentrations.
95% Confidence Limits (mg/L) were not determined due to the nature of the results. - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Remarks:
- No more than 10% of the control daphnids show immobilization or other signs of disease or stress. The dissolved oxygen concentration at the end of the test is equal to or greater than 3 mg/L in the control and test vessels.
- Conclusions:
- Exposure of Daphnia magna to the test item resulted in an EC50 value of 11 mg/L, NOEC value of 9.2 mg/L and LOEC value of 26 mg/L and the substance can be considered non hazardous to aquatic invertebrates.
- Executive summary:
A GLP compliant short term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates test was performed on the substance according to OECD Test Guideline 202.
Daphnia magna were exposed to an aqueous solution of the test item at nominal concentrations or 1.0, 3.2, 10, 3.2 and 100 mg/L for a total of 48 hours.
After 24 and 48 hours exposure 100% of the Daphnia magna were observed to be immobilized in the test concentrations of 32 and 100 mg/L.
At the lower concentrations the Daphnia magna were observed to be either normal (24 hours) or normal, exhibited reduced mobility or were covered in debris (48 hours).
No mortality was observed and all validity criteria were met.
Therefore, under the conditions of this test, and considering the substance is readily biodegradable, it was was found to be non hazardous to aquatic invertebrates in accordance with CLP Regulation (EC) 1272/2008.
