- Nominal and measured concentrations:
- As the test substance is multi-component poorly soluble substance the water-accommodated fractions (WAFs) were prepared for preliminary and limit test. The WAFs were prepared by adding measured amounts of the test substance to the dilution water and then were stirred for suitable period. After period of stirring the WAFs were filtered through 0.45 µm filter and these solutions were used for testing.
The suitable period for achieving equilibrated concentration of dissolved and dispersed components in aqueous phase was determined in preliminary experiment. For preliminary experiment the WAFs were prepared as follows: the suspension of 100 mg of the test substance in 1000 ml of dilution water was stirred for period 3, 24, 48 and 72 hours on a shaft stirrer, consequently filtered through 0.45 µm filter. During this experiment the concentrations of metals (Al, Ca, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na and Zn) in resulted WAFs were determined. The samples of WAFs were prepared in dilution water, which contents metals as Ca, Mg, Na and K. For this reason the analytical determination of the concentrations of metals was performed also in pure dilution water.
The analytical results showed, that the test substance is poorly soluble substance. If we consider the error of determination the analytical results from 3, 24, 48 and 72 hours are comparable. Because of technical performing of the test the 72 hours period of stirring was chosen for preparation the WAFs.
The WAFs for preliminary and limit test were prepared by adding measured amounts of the test substance to the dilution water. The WAFs were stirred for period 72 hours on a shaft stirrer and consequently filtered through 0.45 µm filter. The exact loading rates are given in tables. - Details on test conditions:

- Results with reference substance (positive control):
- Reference test:
The sensitivity of the test species and correctness of test performance is periodically verified in three-month period by testing the reference substance, potassium dichromate. The results of verification test with K2Cr2O7 are the following:
LC50 (48 h) = 126 mg/l (95% confidence limit: 80 - 171 mg/l)
LC50 (96 h) = 117 mg/l (95% confidence limit: 95 - 138 mg/l)
The results of the last interlaboratory test arranged by Centre for Assessment of Laboratories of T.G.Masaryk Water Research Institute Prague in 2008 for potassium dichromate were:
LC50 (96 h) = 81.2 - 190 mg/l
The mortality of test organisms in the reference substance solution meets criteria determined by the interlaboratory test. - Sublethal observations / clinical signs:

The test substance, Slimes and Sludges, blast furnace and steelmaking, was tested for acute toxicity on fish Poecilia reticulata. The test was performed according to method C.1 - Acute toxicity for fish, Council Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008, published in O.J.L 142, 2008.
Since the test substance is multi-component poorly soluble substance the water-accommodated fractions (WAFs) were prepared by adding measured amounts of the test substance to the dilution water and then were stirred for a period of 72 hours. After period of stirring the WAFs were filtered through 0.45 µm filter and these solutions were used for testing. The WAFs were prepared for preliminary and limit test.
The preliminary test was performed in range of test substance loading rates 10 - 100 mg/l. Based on no toxicity of the test substance found in preliminary test, the limit test was performed. The limit test was performed in range of test substance loading rates 62 - 100 mg/l. The test was performed as static.
The study was performed without the analytical determination of the test substance concentrations. Only the concentrations of metals in the highest loading rate 100 mg/l were analysed in the limit test. For all evaluations and results the loading rates of the test substance were used.
Test results:
LL50 (24 h) > 100 mg/l (loading rate)
LL50 (48 h) > 100 mg/l (loading rate)
LL50 (72 h) > 100 mg/l (loading rate)
LL50 (96 h) > 100 mg/l (loading rate)
NOELR (24 h) = 91 mg/l (loading rate)
NOELR (48 h) = 91 mg/l (loading rate)
NOELR (72 h) = 91 mg/l (loading rate)
NOELR (96 h) = 91 mg/l (loading rate)
LL100 (24 h) > 100 mg/l (loading rate)
LL100 (48 h) > 100 mg/l (loading rate)
LL100 (72 h) > 100 mg/l (loading rate)
LL100 (96 h) > 100 mg/l (loading rate)
Classification of the test substance on the basis of hazard to aquatic environment was performed according to the Directive 93/21/EEC, Annex IV (article 5.2.1.).
According to the classification criteria given in quoted Directive the test substance, Slimes and Sludges, blast furnace and steelmaking, is not assigned to any of quoted toxicity categories.
