The influence of two vehicles (N,N-dimethylformamide [DMF] as solvent and polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil [HCO-40] as a dispersant) on the acute toxicity of eight hydrophobic chemicals with a non-specific mode of action toDaphnia magnawas investigated according to the OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals, No. 202. An increased 48-h EC50value forD. magnaor reduced toxicity resulting from the addition of HCO-40 to the test medium was observed for five of the eight chemicals examined.Each of eight chemicals was dissolved in water at a concentration of either 10 mg/L or 1.0 mg/L, with or without DMF or HCO-40. Silicone film as a model of a biological membrane was then immersed in each solution, and the concentration of each chemical in the water was monitored until equilibrium was reached for each test substance, after which the adsorbed amount of each chemical was determined. The amounts ofp-pentylphenol and four other substances with logPow(1-octanol/water partition coefficient) values greater than 3.4 adsorbed onto the silicone film decreased with increasing concentrations of HCO-40. However, 3-chloro-4-fluoronitrobenzene and two other substances with logPowvalues less than 2.6 demonstrated no changes in adsorption with either increasing HCO-40 concentration or the addition of DMF.The reduced adsorption in the presence of a vehicle on the silicone film correlated closely with changes in toxicity. These results indicate that the methodology developed in this study enables the prediction of changes in toxicity resulting from the addition of vehicles to a test system.
