Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Ecotoxicological information

Toxicity to aquatic algae and cyanobacteria

Administrative data

Endpoint:
toxicity to aquatic algae and cyanobacteria
Type of information:
(Q)SAR
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
April 2018
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
results derived from a valid (Q)SAR model, but not (completely) falling into its applicability domain, with adequate and reliable documentation / justification
Justification for type of information:
QMRF and study report enclosed
The query chemical and one of its degradation product (Malononitrile) falls within the applicability domain of both the models (SciQSAR and Leadscope) and therefore also that of the battery model. The other degradation product (2-chlorobenzaldehyde) did not fall into applicatibility domain.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
Based on the evaluation made using multiple tools to predict the acute aquatic toxicity to algae of (2 -chlorobenzylidene) malononitrile, the predicted Pseudokirchneriella s. 72h EC50 value of 1.663 mg/L derived from SciQSAR model integrated into the Danish QSAR Database.
Executive summary:

Based on the evaluation made using multiple tools to predict the acute aquatic toxicity to algae of (2 -chlorobenzylidene) malononitrile, the predicted Pseudokirchneriella s. 72h EC50 value of 1.663 mg/L derived from SciQSAR model integrated into the Danish QSAR Database was considered as the most appropriate by KREATiS. The query substance falls within the applicability domain of the SciQSAR model and

there is a QMRF report also available readily for this model thus there is adequate information to hint the reliability in the validity of the model as well as reliability in the predicted value. The value predicted using ECOSAR was not retained due to lack of clear information about the training set data as well as an unclear applicability domain of the model.
