Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Since no studies investigating the short-term toxicity to fish of Oleic acid, monoester with oxybis(propandiol) (CAS 49553-76-6) are available for this endpoint, in accordance to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 Annex XI, 1.5 a read across to a structurally similar analogue substance 2,3-dihydroxypropyl oleate (CAS 111-03-5) was conducted. This read-across is justified in detail in the overall summary (IUCLID chapter 6.1) and within the analogue justification in IUCLID Section 13. For the endpoints short-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates and toxicity to algae, both substances are showing a consistent pattern of results Therefore, a similar hazard assessment is expected for both substances for all other endpoints.

The study with 2,3-dihydroxypropyl oleate (CAS 111-03-5) was performed according to OECD 203 under GLP conditions (MOE, 2001). Oryzias latipes was exposed to six measured concentrations (geometric mean) between 0.55 and 102.8 mg/L in a semi-static test for 96 h. No effects were observed resulting in an LC50 > 102.8 mg/L.

Based on the results from a structurally related read-across substance (in accordance to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 Annex XI, 1.5) ,characterized by a similar ecotoxicological profile, it can be concluded that Oleic acid, monoester with oxybis(propandiol) will not exhibit short-term effects to fish up to the limit of water solubility.
