- - At test initiation and test termination (day 5) a single sample was collected from each control and test solutions and analyzed for Ziram concentration, based on measurement of 14C residues.

- Details on test solutions:
- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION
- Method: A primary stock solution of 14C Ziram was first prepared by dissolving the entire amount of 14C Ziram received (5 mCi) in dimethylformamide, to a total volume of 50 mL. Triplicate 10 uL aliquots of this primary stock solution were assayed by liquid scintillation counting (LSC) which yielded a mean concentration of 0.569 mg a.i/mL. Furthermore, a 6 mg a.i/mL stock solution (combination of radiolabelled and non radiolabelled Ziram) was prepared by dissolving 0.304g of non radiolabelled Ziram (0.2979 g as a.i) and 0.35 mL of the 0.569 mg a.i/mL radio labelled stock solution (1.992 mg) with DMF to a volume of 50 mL. Then, a 50 uL aliquot of the 6 mg a.i/mL stock solution was further diluted to 500 mL with esterile AAP medium, to prepare the highest nominal concentration. Appropriate volumes of this solution were diluted to 10 mL with DMF to prepare secondary stock solutions (for the other nominal concentrations). Aliquots of 50 uL of each secondary stock solution were the diluted to 500 mL to give the final nominal concentrations to be tested.

- - The concentration of active ingredient was measured at test start and test end in order to provide an evidence that the concentration of the test substance being tested was satisfactorily maintained throughout. As the test was carried out at low concentrations, analytical measurements of active ingredient were not possible in the actual exposure concentrations. Therefore measurement of concentration of active and extrapolation of the results were performed as described in ECETOC (1996). Analysis of active ingredient was performed only in the stock solution (22.40 mg/L) which was exposed without test organisms at the same conditions as actual test solutions. Stock solution was measured at 0 and 72 hours and the results were extrapolated to the concentrations used in the definitive test.

Additional information
The toxicity of zinc bis dimethyldithiocarbamate (CAS No. 137-30-4) to algae species was investigated in three studies.
The test chosen as key study (2014) was conducted according to the OECD Guideline No. 201 and GLP. The test organism Pseudokirchnerella subcapitata was exposed in a static test regime, for 72 h to 5 nominal test item concentrations of 18.8, 37.5, 75, 150 and 300 µg/L as well as a solvent and a negative control. N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) was used as a vehicle. Effects on biomass and growth were measured. An analytical verification of the test substance was performed by LC/MS/MS, which confirmed a 72- hour recovery of the test substance in the test solutions between 41 and 67 % of nominal concentrations. Therefore, the results of the study are based on geometric mean measured concentrations (12.0, 27.8, 53.4, 97.4 and 180 µg/L). The resulting ErC50 and ErC10 (72 h) values based on growth inhibition were determined to be 73.3 and 65.8 µg/L, respectively. This study was chosen as key study since it bears the most appropriate study design and reliable results.
An additional study (1995) conducted according to the FIFRA Guidelines 122-2 and 123-2 is available. Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata was exposed to the test substance for 120 h. The results from this test are expressed on the basis of algae biomass, resulting in an EbC50 (120 h) of 66 µg/L (arith. mean measured).
A further study (2007) with Pseudokirchnerella subcapitata is available which was performed according to the OECD Guideline No. 201 and GLP. However, the validity of the test was impaired by unreliable analysis of the test material in medium.
