Sampling and analysis

Analytical monitoring:
yes
Details on sampling:
- Concentrations: negative control and saturated solution (limit test)
- Volume: 42.5 mL, a complete vial (see sampling method)
- Sampling method: extra sample vials were made to be sacrificed for analytic monitoring ((one for t=0h and one for
t=48h)
- Sample storage conditions before analysis: Samples were analyzed on the day of sampling.

Test solutions

Vehicle:
no
Details on test solutions:
PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
- Method: The test substance is extremely volatile. Therefore, 42.5mL air-tight vials were completely filled with medium and closed with a septum-sealed screw cap and parafilm. PPVE (2.8 μL) was then injected through the septum with gas-tight syringe. Vials were rotated slowly for seven days, and then centrifiged at 500g for 90 minutes to pull dissolved test substance into a single drop at the bottom of the vial.
- Controls: Blank only
- Evidence of undissolved material (e.g. precipitate, surface film, etc.): Test solutions were clear and colorless, with a visible small droplet of undissolved test substance at the bottom.

Test organisms

Test organisms (species):
Daphnia magna
Details on test organisms:
TEST ORGANISM
- Common name: Water flea
- Strain/clone: Daphnia magna (Crustacea, Cladocera) (Straus, 1820), at least third generation, obtained by acyclical parthenogenesis under specified breeding conditions.
- Source: In-house laboratory culture with a known history.
- Age of parental stock (mean and range, SD): > 2 weeks
- Age at study initiation: < 24 hrs
- Feeding during test: No
-Culturing: Adult daphnids were cultured in M7 medium. Adult daphnids in the cultures were held for at least 14 days, and were not more than 4 weeks old prior to collection of the juveniles for testing. During the period preceding the test, water temperatures were 18 - 22°C. Daphnids in the cultures were fed daily a suspension of freshwater algae. The adults were fed
prior to test initiation, but neonates were not fed during the test.

Remarks:
0.622 mg/L was considered the maximum solubile concentration in test medium. Test conducted at a loading rate of 100 mg/L.
Details on results:
- Mobility: no immobilization of test organisms was observed
- Mobility of control: No immobilization observed
- Effect concentrations exceeding solubility of substance in test medium: Yes
Results with reference substance (positive control):
- Results with reference substance valid? Yes
- Dose-response test: Yes
- ECx: 48-hr EC50 = 0.59 mg/L (95% CI, 0.52 mg/L to 0.66 mg/L)
- Other: The sensitivity of Daphnia magna originating from the batch used in this test, for potassium dichromate fell within the expected range of sensitivity observed during previous years (n > 60; 48-hr EC50 between 0.3 and 1.0 mg/L.) The reference substance test was conducted 21 days prior to the testing of PPVE.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Remarks:
the validity criteria of OECD TG 202 were fulfilled. Control immobilization was < 10% at the end of the test. The dissolved oxygen concentration was ≥ 3 mg/L in the control and test vessels at the end of the test.
Conclusions:
The 48-hour EC50 of PPVE to Daphnia magna was >0.622 mg/L which was considered the maximum soluble concentration in the test medium (OECD TG 202, EU Method C.2 and ISO 6341-15).
Executive summary:

The 48-hour EC50 of PPVE to Daphnia magna was examined in a static test conducted according to OECD TG 202, EU Method C.2, and ISO 6341-15. Test solutions were prepared as the control (0 mg/L) and at 100 mg/L. Analytically determined concentrations were < LOQ, and 0.622 mg/L, which was considered the maximum soluble concentration in the test medium. At 0.622 mg/L, no immobilization of the daphnids was observed by 48 hours. The 48-hour EC50 is > 0.622 mg/L.

The test was conducted according to internationally accepted test guidelines and was GLP compliant. It is reliable without restriction and suitable for Risk Assessment, Classification and Labeling, and PBT Analysis.
