Details on test solutions:

PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION
- Method: The test solution used in the test was prepared by mechanical dispersion without using of any solubilising agent. An amount of 0.5015 g test item was dissolved in 5015 mL dilution water (ISO medium) in order to obtain the nominal concentration of 100 mg/L.
- Controls: negative control
- Evidence of undissolved material: no

Test organisms (species):

Danio rerio (previous name: Brachydanio rerio)

Details on test organisms:

- Source: Akvárium Magazin Kft. (Pasaréti Gyula), 1222 Budapest, Dévény u. 36., Hungary
- Age at study initiation (mean and range, SD): juveniles
- Length at study initiation: total length 1-2 cm
- Weight at study initiation: 0.07 g (calculated mean of 1 fish)

ACCLIMATION
- Acclimation period: at least 9 days before test initiation
- Acclimation conditions:
Fish were held for in the fish laboratory under the following conditions:
Water: ISO medium (same as used for the test)
Photoperiod: 12 to 16 hours light daily
Temperature: 21 – 25°C
Oxygen concentration: at least 80 % of air saturation
- Type and amount of food during acclimation:
- Feeding frequency during acclimation: three times per week or daily until 24 – 48 hours before the test is started
- Health during acclimation: fish were apparently healthy and no mortality was observed

FEEDING DURING TEST
- Food type: no

Test type:

static

Water media type:

freshwater

Limit test:

yes

Total exposure duration:

96 h

Post exposure observation period:

None

Hardness:

The reconstituted water (ISO medium) has an approximate theoretical total hardness of 249 mg/L (as CaCO3).

Test temperature:

22.4 – 22.8 °C

pH:

7.67 – 9.41

Dissolved oxygen:

81.3 – 90.9 % of air saturation

Salinity:

not applicable

Conductivity:

not specified

Nominal and measured concentrations:

Details on test conditions:

TEST SYSTEM
- Test vessel: aquaria
- Type: open
- Material, fill volume: glass, fill volume = 5 L
- Aeration: no
- No. of organisms per vessel: 10
- No. of vessels per concentration: 1
- No. of vessels per control: 1
- Biomass loading rate: 0.15 g/L in the control and 0.13 g/L in the test item treated group

TEST MEDIUM / WATER PARAMETERS
- Source/preparation of dilution water: ISO Medium prepared using deionised water (prepared in TOXI-COOP ZRT. by BWT Christ Ministil water purification system)

OTHER TEST CONDITIONS
- Adjustment of pH: no
- Photoperiod: 16 h light : 8 h dark
- Light intensity: 639 lux

EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED: Fish were observed at approximately 2, 6, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours after start of the test for signs of intoxication and mortality.

TEST CONCENTRATIONS
- Spacing factor for test concentrations: not applicable (limit test)
- Justification for using less concentrations than requested by guideline: Based on the results of a preliminary test, no toxicity of the test item was expected on Zebrafish up to 100 mg/L (limit concentration). Therefore a limit test was performed using only this concentration level and a control in order to demonstrate that the test item is not toxic to Zebrafish up to at least the limit concentration of 100 mg/L.
- Test concentrations: 100 mg/L
- Results used to determine the conditions for the definitive study: yes

Reported statistics and error estimates:

Since a limit test was performed (and mortality did not occur), no statistical analysis was necessary. Endpoints were determined directly from the raw data.

Conclusions:

In a static acute toxicity test according to OECD TG 203 with Danio rerio the 96-hour LC50 of the test item was determined to be >100 mg/L (nominal).

Executive summary:

To evaluate the acute toxicity of the test item on Zebrafish (Danio rerio) a static 96-hour test according to OECD TG 203, EU Method C.1. and US EPA OCSPP 850.1075 was carried out in compliance with the GLP principles. Based on the results of a preliminary study 10 animals were exposed to a single limit concentration of 100 mg/L (nominal). A negative control with ISO Medium but without the test item was performed in parallel. The test item concentration was analytically verfied by using HPLC-UV and found to be 83 –103 % of the nominal at the start, and 97 – 99 % of the nominal at the end of the test. Therefore, all biological results are based on nominal concentrations. Fish were observed at approximately 2, 6, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours after start of the test for signs of intoxication and mortality. All validity criteria of the test guidelines were fulfilled. As a result, no toxic effect on fish was observed  at the limit concentration of 100 mg/L. Accordingly, the 96-hour LC50 value was determined to be > 100 mg/L. The 96-hour NOEC was determined to be 100 mg/L.
