- Reported statistics and error estimates:
- Results of the standard biotests were modeled as concentration–response curves in the free software R version 2.11.1 using the drc package. Effects (as percentage of control for continuous data and as proportion for binomial data) were fitted against log-transformed concentrations (x) using the 4-parameter log–logistic model (function LL.4) given in Equation 1 in publication, with the parameter c relating to the lower and d relating to the upper limit of the curve and b relating to the slope. The EC50 was directly iteratively determined as the model parameter. Whereas for the continuous response data obtained for L.
minor, the 4-parameter model was used. Further effect concentrations, EC20 and EC10, were estimated by the ED function in drc and confidence intervals (95%) for all point estimates were determined using the delta method in drc.
Concentration–response modeling was based on nominal test concentrations. - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Remarks:
- frond number doubling time < 2.5 days: OK (1.8)
- Conclusions:
- The 7-d ErC50 and 7-d ErC10 based on the growth rate and frond number of the test item to Lemna minor were determined to be 0.0239 and 0.0079 mg/L, respectively.
- Executive summary:
A published study on the biological effect of the substance to the aquatic plant Lemna minor is available. mg/l climbazole (98% purity) using Steinberg medium. Based on preliminary range-finding test, the nominal exposure concentrations in the definitive test were 0.008, 0.0031, 0.0125, 0.05 and 0.2 mg/L. Test solutions were prepared by ultrasonic mixing for 15 minutes and continuous stirring overnight in the dark. A static regime was employed with 3 replicates per test concentration and 6 control replicates. Static test conditions were within protocol guidelines. The test media pH was 5.6-6.2. Study observations were recorded and noted smaller frond of darker colouration and clustered colonies at higher test concentrations. The concentrations were determined by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and resulted in a recovery of 70.5% of the nominal concentrations. The 7-d ErC50 and 7-d ErC10 based on the growth rate and frond number of the test item to Lemna minor were determined to be 0.0239 and 0.0079 mg/L, respectively. The ErC10 of this test is considered for the hazard assessment and classification.
Reference
Chemical analysis of the test solutions confirmed that recovery of nominal climbazole concentrations was moderate for all aquatic biotests mentioned in the publication, at 68% to 85% for initial and 62% to 74% for aged test solutions. However, based on initially
measured test concentrations, recovery at test end reached 81% to 99%. Hence, there was only a little loss of climbazole during
the static exposure.
The mean recovery the substance in the this test was 70.5% (information from the author). Thus, the ErC10 (growth rate) based on the measured concentrations were used for the hazard assessment.
