PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
A saturated solution of the test item was prepared for the test. This was done by weighing
the nominal load 100 mg/L (exact loads are given below), adding the corresponding
amount of dilution water and shaking vigorously for 24 hours. The resulting solution was
filtrated through 0.45 μm filters (Nylon). The lower treatments were prepared by diluting the
saturated solution with dilution water.

Reported statistics and error estimates:
Calculation of results was performed with the help of validated software (Microsoft Excel
®). The estimation of the biological results was accomplished using the software Tox-
Rat® Professional, version 3.2.1
The number of offspring in treatment 10 mg/L (measured concentration 3.3 mg/L) was
higher than in the control and in this treatment no mortality was observed. Therefore only
treatment 22 mg/L (measured concentration 7.7 mg/L) was used for statistical evaluation.
The details of calculation are stated in Annex 4: Statistical calculation using ToxRat® Professional
3.2.1. Biological results were stated using two significant digits.

Executive summary:

One valid experiment was performed. The study was performed using 5 concentrations ranging from 4.6 to 100 mg/L nominal concentration. 10 daphnia each were exposed to the test item and the blank controls for 21 days. The offspring of the animals was counted each working day. Reproduction in the treatments 4.6 mg/L – 22 mg/L did not statistically deviate from reproduction in the blank control whereas in the treatments 46 mg/L and 100 mg/L no reproduction was observed. In the treatment 100 mg/L, until day 9 all daphnia died. In treatment 46 mg/L only 4 daphnia survived until the end of the test. The number of offspring in treatment 10 mg/L was higher than in the blank control and in this treatment no mortality was observed. Therefore, only treatment 22 mg/L was used for statistical evaluation. The content of the test item in the test solutions was determined using HPLC determination. Because of the poor solubility of the test item, the correlation between nominal and measured concentration was weak. But the analysis of the test item concentrations in the treatments before and after exposition showed sufficient stability of the test item during exposition. Therefore, the determination of the results was based on the geometric means of the measured concentrations. The following results were determined for the test item BRUGGOLEN M12: NOEC = 7.7 mg/L LOEC = 16.5 mg/L
