- Executive summary:
Short term toxicity test was performed in Daphnia magna to study the immobilization study of < 72 h old daphnids in test tubes which is filled with 8ml with test chemical and make up to 10ml for 24 hrs. Range finding test was conducted and a concentration was decided with specific test conditions. From experiment it was concluded that the IC 50 value for short term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates for 2,3,5Trimethylphenol (687-82-5) was determined to be 26.69 mg/l. Based on the value, the chemical was considered to be toxic in nature but as it was readily biodegradable in nature , thus the 2,3,5Trimethylphenol was considered to be not classified as per the CLP regulations.

Additional information
Short term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates for 2,3,5Trimethylphenol (CAS:687-82-5)was summaries with one experimental study and two experimental studies with one read across substances 2,3-dimethylphenol are as follows:
Short term toxicity test was performed in Daphnia magna byJames devillers, 1988 to study the immobilization study of < 72 h old daphnids in test tubes which is filled with 8ml with test chemical and make up to 10ml for 24 hrs. Range finding test was conducted and a concentration was decided with specific test conditions. From experiment it was concluded that the IC 50 value for short term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates for 2,3,5Trimethylphenol (687-82-5) was determined to be 26.69 mg/l. Based on the value, the chemical was considered to be toxic in nature but as it was readily biodegradable in nature , thus the 2,3,5Trimethylphenol was considered to be not classified as per the CLP regulations.
From the same reference, study was performed on read across 2,3 –dimethylphenol in Daphnia magna when they were exposed for 24h.They were found to be immobilized at the concentration of 13.615mg/l .Therefore the IC50 was considered to be 13.615mg/l for 2,3 –dimethylphenol when Daphnia magna were exposed for 24h under static condition.
For same read across 2,3 –dimethylphenol study was conducted by A. Kahru, 2000 to find out the toxicity of 2, 3-dimethyl phenol to Daphnia magna. Test plates with Daphnia magna neonates (Daphtoxkit Fᵀᴹ manga) were incubated for 48 h at 20 deg C in the dark. Immobilization of the organism was observed after exposure to 2, 3-dimethyl phenol. The LC50 value of 2,3-dimethylphenol was considered to be 11 mg/l for Daphnia magna. Based on the value, the chemical was considered to be toxic in nature but as it was readily biodegradable in nature , thus the 2,3,dimethylphenol was considered to be not classified as per the CLP regulations.
Based on the above experimental study for target and studies of read across chemicals it can be considered that all the above studies supported the target classification, so based on the results it was considered that 2,3,5Trimethylphenol (687-82-5) was not hazardous to aquatic invertebrates and can be considered to be not classified as per the CLP regulations.
