COUNTING AND EXAMINATION OF ALGAL CELLS
Small test media samples were taken out of all flasks after 24, 48 and 72 hours of exposure and not replaced. The algae cell densities in the samples were determined by counting with an electronic particle counter, three measurements per flask and time. In addition, a sample was taken from the control and from a test concentration in experimental part A with reduced algal growth (nominal 32.0 mg test substance/l) after a test period of 72 hours. The shape of the treated algal cells was microscopically examined and compared with the cells in the control.
TEST CONCENTRATIONS
The test concentrations were based on the results of a range-finding test. The range-findingtest was not performed in compliance with the GLP-Regulations. - Duration:

- Details on results:
- All test media down to the lowest test concentration of nominal 1.0 mg/l were slightly to strongly coloured by the test substance.
The biological results of both experimental parts A and B are nearly identical. This is demonstrated in the following by several calculated parameters, the 72-hour NOEC/LOEC, the percentage inhibition of algal growth and the EC-values.
In both experimental parts A and B, the 72-hour LOEC (lowest concentration tested with a statistically significant inhibition effect) for the growth rate amounted to 2.0 mg/l (as the mean measured terst substance concentration at the test concentration of nominal 3.2 mg/l).
The 72-hour NOEC (highest concentration tested without a significant inhibition effect) amounted to 0.6 mg/l (as the mean measured concentration at nominal 1.0 mg/l).
The percentage inhibition of the algal biomass respectively the algal growth rate after the 72 hours exposure period in experimental part B were in the same magnitude as in experimental part A. The differences between the percentages of the inhibition rates in experimental parts A and B after the 72 hours test period varied only in the range of 0.1 % to 20.5 % for the algal biomass and from 1.5 % to 11.9 % for the growth rates. Thus, under consideration of the usual
variability of the results of algal growth inhibition tests, the percentage inhibition of both the algal biomass and the algal growrth rates after the 72 hours exposure period were identical.
And also at the EC-values, calculated for both growth parameters, no significant differences are observable between the values in both experimental parts.
Thus, nearly the same growth inhibition of Scenedesmus subspicatus was observed when the algae grew in test water without test substance but under reduced light intensities by the light filter effect (experimental part B) as in experimental part A, where the algae grew in test solutions with dissolved test substance.
At the microscopical examination of the shape of the algal cells after 72 hours incubation period no difference was observed between the algae growing in the test concentration of nominal 32 mg/l in experimental part A and the algal cells in the control. Thus, a modification of the shape of the algal cells, growing in the test solution with this high concentration of dissolved test substance could not be observed.
In conclusion, the modified algal test has demonstrated that the observed growth inhibition effect of the test substance was caused only due to the indirect effect, the light absorption in the coloured test solutions. Thus, a real toxic effect of the test substance on the algal cells can be excluded up to at least the highest tested concentration of nominal 100 mg/l (mean measured test substance concentration: 92.4 mg/l).
In the control the cell density has increased from nominal N = 1 x 10^4 cells/ml at the start of the test (0 hours) to N= 92.61 x 10^4 cells/ml (mean value) after 72 hours by a factor of approximately 93. Thus, the algal growth in the control was sufficiently high.
TEST CONCENTRATIONS
The analytically determined test substance concentrations in the test media samples varied in the range from 31.5 % to 97.0 % of the nominal values. The mean measured test substance concentrations (calculated as the average over all measurements per test concentration) ranged from 56.5 % to 92.4 % of nominal).
After 72 h all samples showed a concentration dependent decrease. While at c = 100 mg/l the concentration decreased from 97.0 to 87.9 % only, the recovery fell down to 31.5 % at c = 1 mg/l. Possible reasons may be adsorption or degradation due to the intense irradiation during the performance of the biological test. - Conclusions:
- The observed growth inhibition effect of the test substance on Scenedesmus subspicatus was caused only due to the indirect effect, the light absorption in the coloured test solutions. Thus, a real toxic effect of the test substance on the algal cells can be excluded up to at least the highest tested concentration of nominal 100 mg test substance/l (mean measured test substance concentration: 92.4 mg/l).
- Executive summary:
The influence of the test substance on the growth of the green alga Scenedesmus subspicatus Chodat was investigated in a 72-hour static test according to the OECD Guideline No. 201 and the Commission Directive 92/69/EEC, Annex Part C.3. However, the test method was modified to differentiate between a reduced growth of algae due to real toxic effects of the test substance on the algal cells or due to an indirect effect, a reduced algal growth by light absorption in coloured test solutions. The test was performed in compliance with Good Laboratory Practice Regulations. The nominal test concentrations were 1,0, 3.2, 10.0, 32.0 and 100 mg test substance/l and a control. All test media down to the lowest test concentration were slightly to strongly coloured by the test substance. The analytically determined test substance concentrations in the test media varied in the range from 31.5 % to 97.0 % of the nominal values. The mean measured test substance concentrations (calculated as the average over all measurements per test concentration) ranged from 56.5 % to 92.4 % of nominal. Therefore, all biological results are based on the mean measured test substance concentrations. The biological results of both experimental parts are identical. This could be demonstrated by several calculated parameters, the NOEC/LOEC, the percentage inhibition of algal growth and the EC-values.
In conclusion, this modified algal test has demonstrated that the observed growth inhibition effect of the test substance on Scenedesmus subspicatus was caused only due to the indirect effect, the light absorption in the coloured test solutions. Thus, a real toxic effect of the test substance on the algal cells can be excluded up to at least the highest tested concentration of nominal 100 mg test substance/l (mean measured test substance concentration: 92.4 mg/l).
Conclusion
The observed growth inhibition effect of the test substance on Scenedesmus subspicatus was caused only due to the indirect effect, the light absorption in the coloured test solutions. Thus, a real toxic effect of the test substance on the algal cells can be excluded up to at least the highest tested concentration of nominal 100 mg test substance/l (mean measured test substance concentration: 92.4 mg/l).

Description of key information
Not harmful/toxic to aquatic algae and cyanobacteria.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
No experimental, nor literature data are available about the toxicity to aquatic algae and cyanobacteria of Direct Red 253, thus the available data on the Similar Substance 01, i.e. Red DK 2740 (EC: 419-460-2), have been considered.
The influence of the Similar Substance 01 on the growth of the green alga Scenedesmus subspicatus was investigated in a 72-hour static test, according to the OECD Guideline No. 201 and the Commission Directive 92/69/EEC, Annex Part C.3. However, the test method was modified to differentiate between a reduced growth of algae due to real toxic effects of the test substance on the algal cells or due to an indirect effect, a reduced algal growth by light absorption in coloured test solutions. All test media down to the lowest test concentration were slightly to strongly coloured by the test substance. The analytically determined test substance concentrations in the test media varied in the range from 31.5 % to 97.0 % of the nominal values. The mean measured test substance concentrations (calculated as the average over all measurements per test concentration) ranged from 56.5 % to 92.4 % of nominal. Therefore, all biological results are based on the mean measured test substance concentrations.
The biological results of both experimental parts A and B are nearly identical. This is demonstrated in the following by several calculated parameters, the 72-hour NOEC/LOEC, the percentage inhibition of algal growth and the EC-values. In both experimental parts A and B, the 72-hour LOEC (lowest concentration tested with a statistically significant inhibition effect) for the growth rate amounted to 2.0 mg/l (as the mean measured terst substance concentration at the test concentration of nominal 3.2 mg/l). The 72-hour NOEC (highest concentration tested without a significant inhibition effect) amounted to 0.6 mg/l (as the mean measured concentration at nominal 1.0 mg/l). The percentage inhibition of the algal biomass respectively the algal growth rate after the 72 hours exposure period in experimental part B were in the same magnitude as in experimental part A. The differences between the percentages of the inhibition rates in experimental parts A and B after the 72 hours test period varied only in the range of 0.1 % to 20.5 % for the algal biomass and from 1.5 % to 11.9 % for the growth rates. Thus, under consideration of the usual variability of the results of algal growth inhibition tests, the percentage inhibition of both the algal biomass and the algal growrth rates after the 72 hours exposure period were identical; furthermore, at the EC-values, calculated for both growth parameters, no significant differences are observable between the values in both experimental parts. Thus, nearly the same growth inhibition of Scenedesmus subspicatus was observed when the algae grew in test water without test substance but under reduced light intensities by the light filter effect (experimental part B) as in experimental part A, where the algae grew in test solutions with dissolved test substance (Memmert and Kellner, 1995).
READ ACROSS APPROACH
Both Direct Red 253 and Similar Substance 01 are Secondary Disazo Dyes (portion represented by sodium 4-[4-methyldiazenyl]phenyl]diazenyl]benzene-1-sulfonate group), containing I-acid moiety bearing a triazinic ring on the amine. The only difference occurring between chemical structures of Direct Red 253 and Similar Substance 01 regards the functionalization of the amines in positions 2 and 4 of triazine ring: Similar Substance 01 has a diethylpropylamine functional group instead of the ethanol one, as in the case of Direct Red 253. The difference is expected to not significantly impact the toxicity to aquatic algae and cyanobacteria potential.
Both substances are very water soluble (solubility > 100 mg/l); they are expected to be non-readly biodegradable and, based on the chemical stucture, hydrolysis can be considered as a negligible mechanism of degradation. The substances are expected undergoing to the same environmental fate and pathway, including possible degradation/transformation products that are expected to be comparable.
Based on the partition coefficient octanol-water, Direct Red 253 and Similar Substance 01 are expected to possess a low potential for bioaccumulation and a low potential to cross biological membranes (high molecular weight, high polarity).
