Samples of the aqueous test solutions was taken directly from each test vessel at -192, -168, -144, -48, -24, 0, 24 and 48 hours.

- Vehicle:

- Details on test solutions:
- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)- Method:A stock solution with a nominal concentration of 22000 mg/L of the test item was freshly prepared with DMF before the start of the equilibration period (at -216 hours), mixed thoroughly by manual agitation and was used as the highest test concentration and as a stock solution for the preparation of the further concentration levels. The concentrated stock solutions were prepared once for the test with DMF and filled into syringes, which were covered with aluminium foil. The stock solutions were introduced into the mixing chambers by a precision syringe pump.- Controls: Two replicates of dilution water without test item incubated under the same conditions as the test groups. Additionally a solvent control was tested under the same conditions as the test groups. For this purpose, dilution water with 0.1 mL DMF/L in a continuous flow.- Chemical name of vehicle (organic solvent, emulsifier or dispersant): DMF- Concentration of vehicle in test medium (stock solution and final test solution(s) or suspension(s) including control(s)): 0.1 mL/L- Evidence of undissolved material (e.g. precipitate, surface film, etc.):All test item concentrations were visually clear throughout the exposure period. The stock solution and the test solution of ≥ 1.00 mg/L showed a clear, brown color throughout the exposure period.

- Details on test organisms:
- TEST ORGANISM - Common name: Daphnia magna - Strain/clone: STRAUS (Clone 5) - Source: Origin: Institut für Wasser-, Boden- und Lufthygiene (WaBoLu), 14195 Berlin, Germany; Breeder: Noack Laboratorien GmbH, Käthe-Paulus-Str. 1, 31157 Sarstedt, Germany - Age of parental stock (mean and range, SD): no data - Feeding during test: no - Food type/Amount/Frequency: The culture daphnids were fed at least 5 times per week ad libitum with a mix of unicellular green algae, e.g. Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata and Desmodesmus subspicatus, with an algae cell density of > 106 cells/mL. The algae were cultured at the test facility. ACCLIMATION: Acclimatisation is not necessary, because the dilution water was equivalent to the culture medium. METHOD FOR PREPARATION AND COLLECTION OF EARLY INSTARS OR OTHER LIFE STAGES:Less than 24 hours old daphnids from a healthy stock were used for the study. Juvenile daphnids will be removed from the culture vessels at the latest 24 hours before the start of the exposure and discarded. The juveniles born within the following period of max. 24 hours preceding the exposure were used for the test. No first brood progeny was for the test. The daphnids were inserted with a small amount of dilution water at the start of the exposure by a pipette.

- TEST SYSTEM - Test vessel: Glass beakers (8.0 (ID) x 9.5 (H) cm, 250 mL capacity) with an outlet covered with mesh (495 m) allowing flow-through of test and control solutions and avoiding an escape of the young daphnids. The test vessels will be loosely covered with a pierced petri dish. Mixing chambers: Brown glass flasks (6.4 (ID) x 14.0 (H) cm, 250 mL capacity) with an outlet as overfill protection covered with a pierced screw cap. - Material, size, headspace, fill volume: Test volume: Approximately 200 mL per test vessel - Type of flow-through (e.g. peristaltic or proportional diluter): Multi channel tubing pumps provided the water flow-through. Each replicate of the concentration levels, the solvent control and the control were supplied by an own channel. The dilution water was pumped into mixing chambers. For each concentration level, the solvent control and the control one mixing chamber was provided. The stock solutions of the test item with different concentrations, prepared with DMF, and pure DMF for the solvent control were introduced into the mixing chambers by a precision syringe pump. The test solutions in the mixing chambers were gently stirred for homogenous mixing. The test solutions were pumped from the mixing chambers into the test vessels. The delivery system was calibrated prior to experimental starting including determination of the flow-through rate through each test vessel. - Renewal rate of test solution (frequency/flow rate): The flow rate of a test chamber was 41.7 mL/h +/- 10%, corresponding to a minimum of 37.5 mL/h and a maximum of 45.9 mL/h. (1000 mL/d, equivalent to a medium renewal: 5 times the volume of the whole test vessel per day). The general operation of the test item delivery system was daily. The flow-through rates should not vary more than 10% among the test vessels.Equilibration period: Test solutions flows through the test vessels at least 48 hours prior to exposure. - No. of organisms per vessel:20 daphnids, divided into 2 replicates, each with 10 daphnids - No. of vessels per concentration (replicates):2 - No. of vessels per control (replicates):2 - No. of vessels per vehicle control (replicates):2 - Biomass loading rate:/ TEST MEDIUM / WATER PARAMETERS - Source/preparation of dilution water:Same as culture medium : Elendt M4 - Intervals of water quality measurement: pH and dissolved oxygen were measured in al the tests concentrations and controls at T0, T24 and T48H.

- Executive summary:
In the acute immobilisation test with Daphnia magna (STRAUS), the effects of the test item 2,5‑Diaminotoluene were determined according to OECD 202 (2004) and GLP. The study was carried out as a flow-through exposure design over a period of 48 hours with five concentrations of the test item 2,5‑Diaminotoluene ranging from 0.939 to 2.20 mg/L in a geometric series with a separation factor of 2.2. The test item2,5‑Diaminotoluene is a tan to brown solid, which is soluble in water (20°C).A stock solution with a nominal concentration of 22000 mg/L of the test item was freshly prepared with DMF before the start of the equilibration period (at -216 hours), mixed thoroughly by manual agitation and was used as the highest test concentration and as a stock solution for the preparation of the further concentration levels.Twenty daphnids (divided into 2 replicates with 10 daphnids each) were exposed to each concentration level, the solvent control and the control. No immobility was observed in solvent control and control. The concentrations of the test item were analytically verified via LC-MS/MS. The measured concentrations of the test item were in the range of 0.0645 to 1.30 mg/L during the exposure period. Since the measured test item concentrations did not remain stable within the of ± 20% of the nominal concentrations, the effect levels are based on the geometric mean measured concentrations.Based on the geometric mean measured concentrations of the test item2,5‑Diaminotoluene, the 48 hour‑EC50for Daphnia magna was 0.491 mg/L (95% confidence limits: 0.385 – 0.658 mg/L). The validity criteria were fulfilled.

Description of key information
This study was carried out as a flow-through exposure design over a period of 48 hours to maintain as far as possible the test item concentrations. Indeed, the previous daphnia test, performed by the Japanese authorities in semi-static regime showed that at 24H, the concentrations fell to below the detection limit, inducing an artificially low EC50 measurement. In this new test, even if measured concentrations did not remain stable within the of ± 20% of the nominal concentrations, they were still detectable and were in the range of 0.0645 to 1.30 mg/L during the exposure period. Based on the geometric mean measured concentrations of the test item, the 48 hour‑EC50 for Daphnia magna was 0.491 mg/L.
