By applying weight of evidence approach to the target substance 5-nitrovanillin and the read across substance,the endpoint value was found to vary between LC50= 112 to 123 mg/L in a 96 hrs.study on the basis of mortality effect. Thus considering the CLP Criteria for aquatic classification of the substance , it is concluded that 5-nitrovanillin is non-hazardous to the aquatic environment
