Referenceopen allclose all
In one of the replicates of the first test level (100 mg/L direct weighted samples) the daphnids showed an immobilisation of about 20% after 24 h and 100% after 48 h (Table1). No immobilisation was observed at all other replicates of the first test level. But at all replicates of this first test level daphnids swam at the surface and stuck together in oil drops. The daphnids of the two other test levels (100 mg/L after separation of the unsoluble test substance; 3-5-fold amount of saturation) showed no immobilisation or other negative effects (Table 2 + 3). In all tests one control showed a marginal immobilisation of 10 % after 48 h.
The nominal effect concentration of above 100 mg/L was exceeded the water solubility of < 0.025 mg/L. The analytical monitoring showed lower concentrations of the test substance, but nevertheless at the first test level (100 mg/L direct weighted samples) the measured concentration exceeded the water solubility (see above at "Nominal and measured concentrations"). On the basis of the results can be assumed, that in present of unsolved test substance the observed effects can be attribute to physical effects of the unsolved components (e.g. by sticking the gills together) and not to a systemic toxicity. Since after separation of the unsoluble test substance (second and third test level) no negative effects were observed, the effect concentration can be stated as EC50 > water solubility.

Description of key information
No effects up to the limit of water solubility (EU method C. 2/ISO 6341 15, D. magna/A. tonsa); read-across
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
There is no study available assessing the short-term toxicity of the target substance Fatty acids, C16-18, isononyl esters (CAS 91031-57-1) to aquatic invertebrates. Therefore, read-across to the two structurally related source substances 2-ethylhexyl oleate (CAS 26399-02-0) and Fatty acids, C16-18 and C18-unsatd., 2-ethylhexyl esters (CAS 85049-37-2) was conducted in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 Annex XI, 1.5. The source substances are considered suitable representatives for the assessment of the acute toxicity of the target substance to aquatic invertebrates. A detailed read-across justification is provided in IUCLID section 13.
The study with the source substance 2-ethylhexyl oleate (CAS 26399-02-0) was conducted according to EU method C. 2 considering the VCI concept draft for the acute testing of poorly soluble substances from 1994-01-31 and GLP. In a static limit test, D. magna was exposed to the nominal concentration of 100 mg/L test item for 48 h. Two main tests were performed in which the test solutions were prepared in two different ways. The first approach without removal of the insoluble particles resulted in immobilization rates between 0 and 100% (mean: 25%). After removal of insoluble particles (filtration) in the second approach, no effects to Daphnia magna were observed. Thus, it can be stated that the insoluble particles of the test substance resulted in negative physical effects (e.g. agglutination of gills) and no effects were observed in the range of water solubility. This resulted in an EC50 (48 h) > 100 mg/L (nominal).
The study investigating the source substance 2-ethylhexyl esters (CAS 85049-37-2) was performed according to ISO 6341 15 and GLP with a marine test organism. In a static test, A. tonsa was exposed to five water accommodated fractions with nominal loading rates ranging from 1000 to 10000 mg/L test item for 48 h. The derived EL50 (48 h) was > 2047 mg/L (95% CI: 1646 -2470 mg/L).
Based on the structural and chemical similarity of the target and source substances, the target substance is expected to exhibit a similar ecotoxicological profile. Therefore, it can be concluded that Fatty acids, C16-18, isononyl esters (CAS 91031-57-1) will not exhibit short-term effects to freshwater and marine aquatic invertebrates up to the limit of water solubility.
