PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION
In a sparging system, the test material was purged through test medium for different periods at a rate of approximately 20 mL per minute. The gas flow rate was assesseed using a soap- bubble flow meter. Air was simultaneoulsy purged to maintain acceptable levels of dissolved oxygen.
Test organisms (species):
Daphnia magna
Details on test organisms:
TEST ORGANISM
- Common name: Daphnia magna
- Source: In house laboratory culture with known history
- Age of the organisms: Young daphnia < 24 hours old from parental daphnids > 2 weeks of age
Test type:
static
Water media type:
freshwater
Limit test:
no
Total exposure duration:
48 h
pH:
Start of the test: pH 7.9 - 8.0
End of the test (48h): pH 7.8 - 8.0
Dissolved oxygen:
Start of test: 6.0 - 9.6
End of the test (48 h): 6.2 - 8.8
Nominal and measured concentrations:
Nominal concentration - number of minutes of purging test material at 20 mL/min (4, 7.5, 15, 30 and 60 minutes)
Measured - below limit except at 15 min (50 mg/L); 30 min (164 mg/L), 60 min (347 mg/L)
Details on test conditions:
TEST SYSTEM
- Test vessel:
- Type: Closed
- Material, size, headspace, fill volume: 100 mL, all glass, filled up to rim
- Aeration: no
- No. of organisms per vessel: 5
- No. of vessels per concentration (replicates): 4
- No. of vessels per vehicle control (replicates): 4

OTHER TEST CONDITIONS
- Photoperiod: 16 hours

Reference substance (positive control):
yes
Remarks:
K2Cr2O7
Key result
Duration:

Effect conc.:
> 160 mg/L
Nominal / measured:
meas. (geom. mean)
Conc. based on:
test mat.
Basis for effect:
mobility
Details on results:
- Behavioural abnormalities: None
- Other biological observations: N one
- Mortality of control: None
- Other adverse effects control: None
- Abnormal responses: None
- Immobilization:
5% at 4 mg/L
10% at 164 mg/L
45% at 347 mg/L
Results with reference substance (positive control):
- Results with reference substance valid? Yes
- Mortality: Yes
- EC50/LC50: 48 hr - 0.51 mg/L
Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
In an acute toxicity test with Daphnia magna, performed in accordance with OECD TG 202 and EU method C2, the 48hr EC50 was determined to be > 160 mg/L, based on mean measured concentrations.
