< 20 µE x m-2 x s-1). The culture water (so-called 'M4 medium') was partly renewed once a week. The Daphnia were exclusively fed unicellular green algae (Desmodesmus subspicatus) 'ad libitum'. Mortalities of parent Daphnia during the culture period were recorded daily in a semi-quantitative way. The neonates were separated from their parent Daphnia by filtration prior to the acute test. - Test type:

- Details on results:
- Young female Daphnia, aged less than 24 hours at the start of the test, were exposed to a range of concentrations, nominally 0.1, 0.316, 1, 3.16 and 10 mg/L of N,N-Dimethylbenzylamin dissolved in water.
After a 21d-exposure period, the total number of living offspring produced per parent animal alive at the end of the test was assessed. The reproductive output of the Daphnia exposed to the test item was compared to that of the control in order to determine the Lowest Observed Effect Concentration (LOEC) and the No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC) according to Williams Multiple Sequential t-test Procedure). Additionally, the survival of the parent Daphnia and the time to production of first brood was determined using Fisher`s Exact Binomial Test with Bonferroni Correction. - Validity criteria fulfilled:

- Remarks:
- The mortality rate in the controls did not exceed 20% by the end of the test. Living offspring produced per parent Daphnia surviving at the end of the test was = 60 in the controls.
- Conclusions:
- The long-term toxicity of benzyldimethylamine to aquatic invertebrates (Daphnia magna) was tested according to EU method C.20 and OECD Guideline 211.
- Executive summary:
A study was performed to assess the effects of N,N-Dimethylbenzylamine on the reproductive output of Daphnia magnaSTRAUS under semi static conditions. The study was conducted in accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 440/2008, Method C.20 Daphnia magna Reproduction Test (2008), which equals in all relevant parts to the OECD Test guideline 211 (Daphnia magna Reproduction Test; adopted: Oct. 03, 2008). Young female Daphnia, aged less than 24 hours at the start of the test, were exposed to a range of concentrations, nominally 0.1, 0.316, 1, 3.16 and 10 mg/L of N,N-Dimethylbenzylamine dissolved in water. After a 21d-exposure period, the total number of living offspring produced per parent animal alive at the end of the test was assessed. The reproductive output of the Daphnia exposed to the test item was compared to that of the control in order to determine the Lowest Observed Effect Concentration (LOEC) and the No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC) according to Williams Multiple Sequential t-test Procedure). Additionally, the survival of the parent Daphnia and the time to production of first brood was determined using Fisher`s Exact Binomial Test with Bonferroni Correction.
Results [mg/L]
21d-NOEC(reproduction)(ta0.05) : 0.789
21d-LOEC(reproduction)(ta0.05) : 2.622
21d-NOEC(mortality)(ta0.05) :=8.073
21d-LOEC(mortality)(ta0.05) : > 8.073
1stbrood on day : 9
The results are expressed in terms of time-weighted mean measured concentrations. Effective concentrations ranged from 70.0% to 88.2% of the nominal values in the freshly prepared media and from 68.4% to 84.1% in the media after 48 hours, or 72 hours of exposure.
The hardness of the dilution water used ranged from 14.2°dH to 15.8°dH (= 253.5 – 282.0 mg/L CaCO3)during the test.
Reference
During the test a temperature range of 18 - 22°C was maintained in the test vessels, with a maximum temperature fluctuation of +/- 1°C in each individual test.
Test vessels were not aerated during the test. A photoperiod of 8 hours darkness and 16 hours light was maintained, the light intensity not exceeding 20 µE x m-2 x s-1. Feeding of theDaphniawith living cells ofDesmodesmus subspicatuswas done daily. The ration was 0.1 – 0.2 mg C /Daphnia/ day which was regarded sufficient for achieving the required number of offspring in the controls.
Description of key information
The long-term toxicity of benzyldimethylamine on aquatic invertebrates was tested in a study according to EU Method C.20 and OECD Guideline 211 in Daphnia magna. Based on the results a NOEC (21d) of 0.789 mg/L was determined for effects on reproduction and a NOEC (21d) of > 8.073 mg/L for effects on mortality.
