Details on test solutions:

105.1 mg of the test item were added to 1 litre of dilution water.

Culture and dilution water
Reconstituted water (so-called 'M4 medium', originally described in Water Research 24 (9), September 1990: 1157-1167), prepared according to the recommendations of Bundesgesundheitsamt Berlin. This standard dilution water is used for both, the maintenance of the test animals and the preparation of stock and test solutions of the test item. The total hardness of the dilution water, measured at test start, was 15.4°dH (= 275 mg/L CaCO3).

Test organisms (species):

Daphnia magna

Details on test organisms:

Name : Daphnia magna STRAUS, parthenogenetic females
Source : Strain of Bundesgesundheitsamt Berlin
Maintenance and Acclimatisation : A population of parthenogenetic females of synchronised age structure is maintained since more than 15 years in the test facility under constant temperature conditions (20 +/- 1 °C) at a 16 : 8 hour light-dark photoperiod (illumination: < 1000 lux). The culture water (so-called 'M4 medium') is partly renewed once a week. The Daphnia are exclusively fed with unicellular green algae (Desmodesmus subspicatus) 'ad libitum'. Mortalities of parent Daphnia during the culture period are recorded daily in a semi-quantitative way. The neonates are separated from their parent Daphnia by filtration prior to the acute test.

Details on test conditions:

Test vessels : 50 ml glass beakers holding 10 neonates in 20 ml of test medium
Experimental design : 1 test concentration plus 1 control
10 neonates per vessel, 2 replicates per concentration/control
no feeding during the exposure period
static system
Method of initiation : neonates were placed in prepared media
Photoperiod : 16 h light : 8 h dark
Temperature : mean +/- 1 °C (in the temperature range 18-22 °C)
Aeration : none
Test item concentration/s : 100 mg/l
Method of administration : direct weighing
Medium renewal : none
Duration of exposure : 48 hours
Criteria of effects : The criterion of adverse effects used in this study was the item-induced alteration of the normal mobility behaviour and the loss of locomotory actions of the neonates, observed at 24 and 48 hours.

Executive summary:

A study was performed to assess the acute toxicity of Gelb-sulfato to Daphnia magna STRAUS under static conditions.

 

The study was conducted in accordance with the OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals No. 202 'Daphnia sp., Acute Immobilisation Test' which is in most parts equivalent to the EEC Methods for Determination of Ecotoxicity Annex to Directive 92/69/EEC Part C, Method 2 'Acute toxicity for Daphnia'. Study performed in accordance with the Principles of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) and reported with a GLP certificate.

 

The Daphnia were exposed to a limit test concentration of nominally 100 mg/l of Gelb-sulfato dissolved in water.

 

Observations were made on the swimming ability and the immobilisation rate, respectively, after 24 and 48 hours of exposure. The following values were determined:

[h] [mg/l]

24 > 100

Description of key information

There was no toxic effects against daphnia at a test concentration of 100 mg/L. The EC0 and EC50 are above 100 mg/L.

Additional information

A study was performed to assess the acute toxicity of Gelb-sulfato (= Reactive Yellow 176 Ester) to Daphnia magna STRAUS under static conditions. The study was conducted in accordance with the OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals No. 202 'Daphnia sp., Acute Immobilisation Test' which is in most parts equivalent to the EEC Methods for Determination of Ecotoxicity Annex to Directive 92/69/EEC Part C, Method 2 'Acute toxicity for Daphnia'. Study performed in accordance with the Principles of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) and reported with a GLP certificate.

The Daphnia were exposed to a limit test concentration of nominally 100 mg/L of the test substance dissolved in water.

 

Observations were made on the swimming ability and the immobilisation rate, respectively, after 24 and 48 hours of exposure. The following values were determined:
