- Details on results:
- - Mortality of parent animals: No mortalities were observed in any of the control plots. Among all test plots, only the concentration at 0.247 mg/L showed any mortalities. On day 4, seven mortalities were observed and then one further mortality occured on day 17, bringing the total number of mortalities to 8 after 21 days. The other concentration plots did not show any deaths.
- No. of offspring produced per day per female: See table 1
- Time to first brood release or time to hatch: The mean brood release time for all concentrations and controls was 8 days, except the test concentration at 0.267 mg/L, which took on average 8.7 days for brood production.
- Effect concentrations exceeding solubility of substance in test medium: No - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- 48-hour median immobilization concentration (EiC50) by the reference material (potassium dichromate, reagent chemical of highest quality, Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.) = 0.141 mg/L [EiC50 after January 1998 in Kurume Business Office: Within the range of 0.128~0.234 mg/L (n = 5).]
- Reported statistics and error estimates:
- Calculation of EC50:
EC50 was calculated by the moving average method. The calculation was made by applying the maximum average cumulative number of brood (rounding up digits to the right of the decimal point) over all the test plots to the number of specimens under testing, and the average cumulative number of brood in each concentration plot to the number of survivers. EC50 of the 14th and 21st days were calculated, and their 95 % confidence limits are also shown.
Calculation of maximum no observed effect concentration (NOEC) and lowest observed effective concentration (LOEC):
The cumulative number of brood per one parent for each test vessel was calculated, after performing homoscedastic testing by the Bartlett method.
Significant difference between each concentration plot and the solvent control plot was determined by one-way analysis of variance and Dunnett's multiple comparison method.
Also, the significant difference between each concentration plot and the control plot for the number of dead parental Daphnia was determined by the Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test and the nonparametric multiple comparison method (Dunnett). The nonparametric multiple comparison method (Scheffé) was used for the primiparous day. NOEC and LOEC were determined including the states of observed parents and produced juveniles in this result. - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The 21-day-chronic toxicity of dicumylperoxide to Daphnia magna was studied under static renewal conditions. The parental 21-day LC50 based on mortality was 0.195 mg/L, the 21-day EC50 for reproduction was 0.231 mg/L. The 21-day NOEC based on average cumulative number of brood was 0.117 mg/L, the 21-day LOEC was 0.247 mg/L. Sublethal effects were observed in the 0.247 mg/L plot.
Production of offspring in the treated groups indicated that dicumylperoxide had an effect on reproduction at concentrations greater than 0.117 mg/L. The most sensitive end point was reproduction. - Executive summary:
The 21-day-chronic toxicity of dicumylperoxide to Daphnia magna was studied under static renewal conditions. Daphnids were exposed to control, solvent control, and test chemical at measured concentrations of 0.187, 0.0331, 0.0600, 0.117, 0.247 mg/L. The parental 21-day LC50 based on mortality was 0.195 mg/L, the 21-day EC50 for reproduction was 0.231 mg/L. The 21-day NOEC based on average cumulative number of brood was 0.117 mg/L, the 21-day LOEC was 0.247 mg/L. The sublethal effects included were body colour brightening and growth inhibition in the 0.247 mg/L plot compared with the control plot, besides lethargy, immobility, and activity drop were observed. No symptoms were observed in the other concentration plots. Dead larvae were observed in all the test plots, and the 0.247 mg/L plot had somewhat more than the control plot. Fallen eggs were also observed in all of the test plots, the 0.117 mg/L showed a statistically significant difference.
Production of offspring in the treated groups indicates that dicumylperoxide had an effect on the reproduction at concentrations greater than 0.117 mg/L. The most sensitive endpoint was reproduction.
This study is classified as reliable without restriction and satisfies the guideline requirements for a chronic toxicity study with freshwater invertebrates.
