- Details on test solutions:
- The volume of the test concentration and test medium for the control in every replicate was 100 mL. Five individuals of Daphnia magna were used in each replicate (20 mL of test solution per daphnid in accordance with the OECD Guideline which requires at least 2 mL). The test concentration and control was tested in four replicates.
In order to determine the concentrations of test item in the definitive test, the preliminary (non-GLP) range finding static tests were performed.
In the definitive test the test item was used in one concentration of 100 mg/L WAF. The test concentration was prepared by weighing test item and mixing with Elendt M7 medium. The test item was visible on the surface. The test concentration was ultrasonicated for 15 min at 40 °C
temperature. The test concentration was turbid, heterogeneous and particles of the test item were visible on the surface and bottom of flask. The test contraction and the control were mixed by mechanic shaker at room temperature. After 24 h of mixing particles of the test item were visible on the surface and on the bottom. The test concentration and control were filtrated through conditioned nitrocellulose membranes (Filter type
HAWG, 0.45 Sm pores, Millipore). The filtrates were clear and homogeneous. These filtrates were Water Accommodated Fraction (WAF) used for exposure. Each filtrate was poured into four replicates per 100 mL each. The glass beakers of 150 mL capacity were used.
Test vessels were covered with transparent plastic lids in order to minimize evaporation and to prevent accidental contamination. In each beaker five young Daphnia magna were exposed to the test item for 48 h. The test was of static design. - Test organisms (species):

Description of key information
With high probability acutely not harmful to aquatic invertebrates. No toxic effects in the range of water solubility.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
In the key study (Institute of Industrial Organic Chemistry Branch Pszczyna, 2012), an acute toxicity study (static design), young Daphnia magna individuals (< 24 h old) were exposed to the test item for 48 hours. A nominal concentration of 100 mg/L WAF of the test item was applied as a limit test. The derived NOEC is higher than or equal to 100 mg/L WAF and the EC50 is higher than 100 mg/L WAF. No toxicity was observed up to the solubility limit of the test substance in the test medium under the test conditions.
Additionally published data on acute Daphnia toxicity are available. Vehicle was used. Limited details on the experimental conditions were given. However, the EC50 48h was above the highest tested concentration of 10mg/L (nominal).
A non-GLP guideline study according to OECD 202 (Ciba Geigy 1988) was disregarded because the exposure time was only 24 instead of 48h. Moreover, the preparation of the test substances was conducted with a solubilizer.
Overall, it can be concluded that the results indicate that the substance is not acutely toxic to Daphnia magna in the range of solubility.
