Toxicity to aquatic algae and cyanobacteria
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- toxicity to aquatic algae and cyanobacteria
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Remarks:
- Good performed study according to GLP.
- Justification for type of information:
- Hypothesis for read-across: The main component of the target substance “Reaction product of lead chloride or lead sulphate with alkaline solution” is lead (Pb). Pb salts used as source material are waste materials produced by Pb battery recycling process or by-products of the hydrometallurgical upgrading of PGM rich lead bullion. Therefore, available data from Pb compounds was used for read-across. The test substance is waste material from lead battery reprocessing, which is similar to the target substance and therefore considered applicable for read-across.

- Guideline:
- OECD Guideline 201 (Alga, Growth Inhibition Test)
- Deviations:
- no
- GLP compliance:
- yes
- Analytical monitoring:

- Details on test solutions:
- Because of its limited solubility the test item was applied in a water accommodated fraction (WAF) with a stirring time of 24 hours followed by a sedimentation period of 1 hour

- Desmodesmus subspicatus (previous name: Scenedesmus subspicatus)
- Details on test organisms:
- Tests were carried out with the green alga Desmosdesmus subspicatus CHODAT from the German Environmental Agency (Umweltbundesamt), Berlin-Marienfelde cultivated in suspension culture. The strain used for this study has been cultured in the labnoratory of Hydrotox GmbH since November 2006. Twice a week the stock suspension is diluted 2:50 into fresh Holm-Hansen medium under sterile conditions to keep it in exponential growth.

OTHER TEST CONDITIONS
- Light intensity and quality: The flasks are illuminated laterally by eight fluorescent tubes (58 Watt each) which are separated from the incubation chamber by heat absorbing glass.

TEST CONCENTRATIONS
- Range finding study

- Details on results:
- Justification for read-across: Lead (Pb) is the main component of the target substance, and considered the major driver for adverse effects based on its properties and relative quantity in the substance. For toxicity assessment the bioavailable part is relevant. From the target substance itself, Pb is poorly water soluble. Solubility of Pb from the test substance was same order of magnitude as for the target substance. Therefore, it is considered that the used read-across data gives a good estimate on the adverse effects of the target substance.
- Reported statistics and error estimates:
- The NOEC and LOEC were also determined with the ToxRAT software. The specific growth rates and the yields of the treated algae compared to the controls were analysed by performing a "multiple average comparisons test" (Dunnett's test). By definition the lowest treatment concentration which is not significantly different from the control is the NOEC and the lowest treatment concentration which is significantly different from the control is the LOEC.
- Endpoint:
- toxicity to aquatic algae and cyanobacteria
- Type of information:
- read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)

Description of key information
For aquatic algae, four acute toxicity data points were considered for read-across purposes. Test data (1 study) was available for Pb battery reprocessing waste, which was considered to be close to the target substance based on its composition and physico-chemical properties. In addition, data was available for lead dichloride (1 study) and lead dinitrate (2 studies).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The following lowest acute toxicity values (EC10) were reported:
Wastes, Pb battery reprocessing: 0.36 mg/L (D. subspicatus, pH and hardness not reported)
Lead dichloride: 0.005 mg/L dissolved Pb (P. subcapitata, pH 7.28, hardness 24 mg/L)
Lead dinitrate: 0.029 mg/L dissolved Pb (S. costatum, pH 8.1, hardness -)
