EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED (with observation intervals if applicable) :
The total number of worms per replicate, and the total dry weight of the worms per replicate were assessed. In order to estimate mortalities, the numbers of worms that did not react to a gentle stimulus or showed signs of decomposition were considered dead. In cases where the number of worms found on day 28 of the exposure period was less than the number of worms introduced to the vessel, the number of missing worms was added to the number of worms observed dead. In these cases, survival is defined as the difference between the number of worms introduced and the sum of dead and missing worms.
VEHICLE CONTROL PERFORMED: yes
TEST CONCENTRATIONS
- Range finding study: In a range-finding test (non-GLP) performed prior to the start of the definitive test, all test organisms died at 500 mg test item/kg sediment dry weight, while all test organisms survived and low reproduction was observed at 100 mg/kg sediment dry weight.

- Basis for effect:
- reproduction
- Details on results:
- With respect to biomass and reproduction the test showed a clear dose-response relationship.
For the endpoint survival there was no dose-response relationship (negligible mortality was observed up to the highest concentration level). Therefore no LCx-values could be calculated. - Conclusions:
- The 28-d NOEC of Lumbriculus variegatus exposed to the substance EC 401-280-0 and its hydrolysis products was determined to be 56.7 mg/L

Additional information
Parent substance EC 401 -280 -0
The toxicity of Lumbriculus variegatus to the substance EC 401 -280 -0 was investigated in a non-guideline study (ECT, 2005). The aquatic oligochaete was exposed to the test item in spiked sediment at the nominal concentrations of 10.7, 24.7, 56.7, 130.4 and 300 mg/kg sediment dry weight. The overall NOEC based on mortality, reproduction and biomass was determined to be 56.7 mg/kg sediment dw. It can be assumed that the test item was completely degraded by hydrolysis. Therefore, NOEC and EC50 refer to the nominal concentration. As substance EC 401 -280 hydrolyses immediately in contact with water it can be anticipated that organisms in sediment toxicity tests are exposed to the hydrolysate and that the derived toxicity refers to this hydrolysate. For this reason additional data on sediment toxicity with each hydrolysis product are not needed.
Hydrolysis products
No data on sediment toxicity are available for the different hydrolysis products.
