- Details on test solutions:
- Dilution water:
The base water used was Millipore Milli-Q™ deionized reverse osmosis treated well water.
Preparation of stock solution:
14C-test substance primary stock solutions were used to prepare test solutions for daphnid exposure. The primary stock solutions of 14C-test substance were prepared by adding measured aliquots of 14C-test substance to measured amounts of deionized water in volumetric glassware followed by shaking to ensure homogeneity. Three separate primary stock solutions were made and used during the course of the study. The 14C-test substance concentrations of the primary stock solutions were verified by liquid scintillation counting (LSC).
Test solution preparation:
Test solutions used in the study were prepared by daily adding measured aliquots of 14C-test substance primary stock solutions to dilution water in 2L volumetric flasks and bringing the volume to 2 L. Prior to adjusting the final volume to 2L, algal cells and a prepared food suspension were added to the dilution water in the 2L volumetric flask. After addition of the stocl solution and food, the test solutions were vigorously mixed to ensure homogeneity and solubilisation of the test substance.
- Test solutions were renewed daily and prepared immediately before use. At renewal, daphnids were transferred by wide-bore pipette from vessels with the 24-h test solution to the appropriate test vessels containing new test solution. In order to verify test substance concentrations in the test solutions for the deifinitive study, triplicate 1 mL aliquots were taken daily from each newly made test solutions (new solution) before transfer to the individual test vessels and from the three replicates from each test solution and control 24 h later at the time of renewal (old solutions) and counted by LSC. - Test organisms (species):
- Daphnia magna
- Details on test organisms:
- - Daphnia magna was originally obtained from U. S. EPA’s Environmental Research Laboratory, Duluth, MN and was cultured in an environmental chamber under controlled conditions (temperature: 20±2°C; photo-period: 16-h light - 8-h dark; light intensity: 50-150 fc).
- Daphnia were cultured in 1L glass beakers (10 Daphnia per beaker) containing 800 mL of hard re-constituted laboratory water.
- Each beaker received 1.8E08 cells/L selenastrum capricornutum and 5 mL of a yeast/trout food/cerophyl suspension three times each week when the culture water was changed. Selenastrum was obtained from Battelle in-house cultures (algal slants originally obtained from the university of Texas at Austin). Purina brand trout chow, Fleischmann brand yeast and Sigma chemical company cerphyl were sources for the YTC suspension.
- Survival and reproduction of culture animals were checked each time the culture water was changed. After 28d, the adults were discarded and new cultures were started.
- 24h before the start of the test, young were removed from the beakers to ensure that only daphnids less than 24-h old would be used to start the test. the young daphnids were from 22d old cultures. There was 100% survival of cultures animals and an average of 8.6 young produced per female per reproductive day the week before the toxicity test. - Test type:

Test conditions:
- Daphnia magna less than 24h old were exposed to mean analytical concentrations of 0, 0.41, 0.71, 1.33, 2.31 and 4.15 µg/L of the test substance in a 21d daily static-renewal test without aeration. Each concentration was run in duplicate. Test solutions were renewed daily and prepared immediately before use. Observations on daphnid behaviour, the number of live and dead (or immobilised) organisms, and the number of young produced were made at each renewal day and at test termination.
- Test temperature: 20±2°C
- Photoperiod: 16h light and 8h darkeness

- Actual measurements of the test daphnids were made in ocular units and converted to mm (1 ocular unit = 0.07 mm).
- Reproduction and growth (length) data were only collected from the seven individually exposed replicates in each exposure concentration and control. Survival data were collected for all exposure beakers.
Range-finding study:
- A 9 -d range finding experiment with Daphnia magna neonates (<24h old) were exposed to five nominal conentrations 0.1, 0.5, 1, 5 and 10 µg/L of 14C-test substance and a dilution water control.

- At test termination, a total of 2, 33 and 41 aborted eggs were found in the 1, 5, and 10 µg/L nominal test concentrations respectively.
- The overall mean of analytical values for the 0.1, 0.5, 1, 5 and 10 µg/L nominal concentrations were 0.06, 0.5, 0.96, 5.02 and 9.24 µg/L respectively.
Main study:
- The LC50 values was >4.15µg/L.
- At the end of the 21-d exposure, there was 86% survival of the test organisms in the highest measured test concentration (4.15 µg/L) and 95% or greater survival in the remaining test concentrations and in the dilution water control. Survival in all the test concentrations was not significantly different (p>0.05) from the control.
- The NOEC and LOEC for survival, therefore, were >4.15 and >4.15 µg/L of the test substance respectively.
- Reproduction of the test organisms was not significantly affected (p>0.05) in any of the test concentrations when compared to the control by ANOVA. The NOEC determined from the 21d reproductive data was ≥4.15 µg/L of the test substance.

- Executive summary:
A study was conducted to determine the long-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates of the read across substance, C12-16 ADBAC (active: 30%), according to U.S. EPA FIFRA 72-4 (b), in compliance with GLP.Daphnia magna(22 per group) were exposed to mean measured concentrations of 0, 0.41, 0.71, 1.33, 2.31 and 4.15 µg a.i./L for 21 d. Analytical dose verification was conducted. Observations on daphnid behaviour, the number of immobilised organisms and the number of young produced were made at each renewal day and at test termination. No effects were observed on survival, reproduction and growth at measured concentration up to 4.15 µg a.i./L read across substance. However, reproduction was clearly affected at measured concentrations ≥ 5.02 µg/L in a range-finding study. Based on these results, the NOEC and LOEC for reproduction were considered to be at 4.15 and 5.02 µg a.i./L, respectively. The maximum acceptable toxicant concentration (MATC) derived from these results was 4.56 µg a.i./L. The NOEC and LOEC for survival and growth were ≥ 4.15 and > 4.15 µg a.i./L, respectively. Based on the results of the read across study, the 21d chronic NOEC for mortality, reproduction and growth (Daphnia magna) is considered to be ≥ 4.15 µg a.i./L (≥ 0.00415 mg a.i./L). The maximum acceptable toxicant concentration (MATC) is 4.56 µg/L. Under the study conditions, the 21 d NOEC of the read across substance for toxicity to daphnia can also be considered to be ≥ 4.15 µg a.i./L (≥ 0.00415 mg a.i./L; measured) (McIntyre, 1992). Based on the results of the read across study, similar 21-d NOEC can be expected for the test substance, C12-14 ADEBAC.

No treatment related effects were observed in the definitive 21d study which was conducted at nominal test concentrations of 0.5, 0.9, 1.6, 2.8 and 5 µg/L. This result was surprising in light of the fact that marked effects on reproduction were observed at nominal concentrations at or above 5 µg/L in the 9 -day range-finding study.
One possible explanation for these results was that the mean analytical or actual test concentration acheived in the nominal 5 µg/L treatment group for the 9 -day range finding study was 5.02 µg/L, while the analytical test concentration for the definitive study was only 4.15 µg/L. While no effects were observed in the definitive study, the data from the range finding study clearly demonstrates effects on reproduction at test concentrations at or above 5.02 µg/L. In addition, the 48 -h LC50 in daphnids was determined at this laboratory to be 5.8 µg/L. Therefore, while an effect level was not demonstrated in the definitive study, the principle objective of the definitive study was still accomplished since the no-effect levels for the paramters of reproduction and growth were clearly defined at levels just below concentrations which have been shown to produce effects on reproduction and survival.
By supplementing the results of the 21 d definitive test with those from the 9 d range finding test, the following conclusions were drawn:
- The NOEC and LOEC for reproduction were 4.15 µg/L and 5.02 µg/L respectively.
- The MATC derived for the combined test results was 4.56 µg/L.
- The NOEC and LOEC for survival and growth are ≥4.15 and >4.15 µg/L µg/L respectively.
