Description of key information

Short term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates:

Experimental study for inhibition of the mobility of daphnids was carried out with the 8-[(4-amino-3-nitrophenyl)diazenyl]-7-hydroxy-N,N,N-trimethylnaphthalen-2-aminium chloride according to OECD Guideline 202 (Report no. 700/16, Abitec 2016). The animals used for the test shall be less than 24 h old and should not be of first brood progeny. Test solutions of required concentration were prepared by mixing the stock solution of the test sample with reconstituted test water. The test substance was tested at the concentration of 0, 0.5,1.0,2.0,4.0,8.0 and 16 mg/L. The test was performed under static conditions in a static fresh water system at 20±1°C temperature. Effects on immobilisation were observed for 48 hours. EC50 was calculated using non linear regression by the software Prism 4.0.The median effective concentration (EC50) for the test substance, 8-[(4-amino-3-nitrophenyl)diazenyl]-7-hydroxy-N,N,N-trimethylnaphthalen-2-aminium chloride, in Daphnia magna was determined to be 1.6 mg/L on the basis of immobilisation effects.

Based on the value, 8-[(4-amino-3-nitrophenyl)diazenyl]-7-hydroxy-N,N,N-trimethylnaphthalen-2-aminium chloride was considered to be toxic to aquatic invertebrates and can be classified in aquatic chronic 2 category as per the CLP regulation.

Toxicity to aquatic algae and cyanobacteria

The effect of test item [8-[(4-amino-3-nitrophenyl)azo]-7-hydroxy-2-naphthyl]trimethylammonium chloride, CAS No. 68391-32-2 was studied on the growth of fresh water green alga Chlorella vulgaris (UERL Study report, Sustainability Support Services (Europe) AB, 2016). The study was conducted following OECD guideline 201- Alga, growth inhibition test. The test concentration chosen for the study were 6.25 mg/L,12.5 mg/L,25 mg/L,50 mg/L,100 mg/L,200 mg/L. The test concentrations were prepared using stock solution of the test item using mineral media. The green alga was exposed to the test concentration for a period of 72 hours to observe average specific growth rate and % growth inhibition under the effect of the test item. EC50 calculated graphically through probit analysis was observed to be 204.52 mg/L. Thus based on this value, it can be concluded that the substance can be considered as non-toxic to aquatic organisms and thus cannot be classified as hazardous as per the CLP classification criteria.
