Executive summary:

Short term toxicity study of N-Methyl-1,3-propanediamine on the growth of marine algae Skeletonema costatum for 72 hrs. Test was performed by static system. The choice of test concentrations was based on a preliminary test with ten-fold dilutions of the test substance (10–10,000 mg/l), in triplicates.

 

Based on the inhibition of growth rate and Area under the growth curves (biomass), the EC50 of chemical 3-Amino-1-methylaminopropane on the Skeletonema costatum was 1065 mg/l. With 95% confidence interval (999-1150).

 

Thus it was concluded that the chemical N-Methyl-1,3-propanediamine was nontoxic and can be consider to be not classified as per the CLP classification criteria.

Additional information

Based on the various experimental data and prediction data for the target chemical study have been reviewed to determine the toxic nature of (3-aminopropyl)(methyl)amine (6291-84-5) on the growth rate and biomass of algae. The studies are as mentioned below:

 

In the first key study for the target chemical (3-aminopropyl)(methyl)amine (6291-84-5) International Journal of Greenhouse Gas Control, 2012. Short term toxicity study of N-Methyl-1,3-propanediamine on the growth of marine algae Skeletonema costatum for 72 hrs. Test was performed by static system. The choice of test concentrations was based on a preliminary test with ten-fold dilutions of the test substance (10–10,000 mg/l), in triplicates. Based on the inhibition of growth rate and Area under the growth curves (biomass), the EC50 of chemical 3-Amino-1-methylaminopropane on the Skeletonema costatum was 1065 mg/l. With 95% confidence interval (999-1150). Thus it was concluded that the chemical 3-Amino-1-methyl-aminopropane was nontoxic and can be consider to be not classified as per the CLP classification criteria.

 

Similarly in the second experimental supporting study for (3-aminopropyl)(methyl)amine, from Energy Procedia 2009, Short term toxicity study of N-Methyl-1,3-propanediamine on the growth of marine algae Skeletonema costatum for 72 hrs. Test was performed by static system. The choice of test concentrations was based on a preliminary test with ten-fold dilutions of the test substance (10–10,000 mg/l), performed in triplicates. Based on the inhibition of growth rate and Area under the growth curves (biomass), the EC50 of chemical 3-Amino-1-methylaminopropane on the Skeletonema costatum was 1500 mg/l. Thus it was concluded that the chemical 3-Amino-1-methyl-aminopropane was nontoxic and can be consider to be not classified as per the CLP classification criteria.

 

In the third predicted supporting study for the target chemical (3-aminopropyl)(methyl)amine, from EPISUITE, 2017. Based on the prediction done using the EPI Suite ECOSAR version 1.10, the short term toxicity on green algae was predicted for test substance N-Methyl-1,3- propanediamine. On the basis of effects observed in a static freshwater system, the effect concentration EC50 value for the substance is estimated to be 2129.914 mg/l for green algae for 72 hrs. Based on this value, it can be concluded that the test chemical N-Methyl-1,3-propanediamine can be considered as non-toxic to green algae at environmentally relevant concentrations and can be considered not-classified as per the CLP classification criteria.

 

Thus based on the above data sources for target chemical (3-aminopropyl)(methyl)amine from various experimental studies International Journal of Greenhouse Gas Control, 2012, Energy Procedia 2009, and predicted data, it was summarized that the chemical was nontoxic and can be consider to be not classified as toxic as per the CLP classification criteria.
