Data available for the structurally similar read across chemicals has been reviewed to determine the toxicity of aquatic algae of the test chemical .The studies are as mentioned below:
In the data for the lab report of the structurally similar read across substance ,the study was designed to assess the toxic effects of the test compound on the green alga Chlorella vulgaris. Test was conducted in compliance with the OECD guideline 201 (Alga, Growth Inhibition Test).
Test was carried out in 100mL conical flasks which were carefully autoclaved and sterilized. The test solution in each of these test vessels was kept constant which is 60 ml so that a sufficient amount of head space was left. The test solution was prepared in aseptic condition. The test substance was prepared by adding 25.767 µl of test substance in 250 ml of BBM to get the final concentration of 103.07 mg/L. The remaining test solutions were prepared by dilution from the above stock solution. To have a better growth and visibility of cells, the initial cell density of the culture was kept 1 X 10000 cells/ml. Care was taken to have a homogeneous solution for the experiment. For the assessment of algal growth, the test was conducted in replicates. The control flask was maintained in triplicates as recommended in the OECD guideline and the test concentration were selected in geometric series which were maintained in duplicates. To obtain a quantitative concentration-response relationship by regression analysis, a linearizing transformation of the response data into probit was performed. Using the same, effective concentration (EC) were determined. Algal growth was calculated daily by counting the cells microscopically with the help of haemocytometer. For microscopic observations the cultures were observed daily with the help of a microscope to verify a normal and healthy appearance of the algal culture and also to observe any abnormal appearance of the algae (as may be caused by the exposure of the test item). Apart from this, the cell count of each test vessel was also noted with the help of a microscope and haemocytometer. By spectrophotometer the absorbance values of each test vessel and control vessel was noted at 680nm.The BBM was taken as blank for both control and test vessels. The absorbance value of each vessel was in line with the average specific growth rate.After 72 hours of exposure of test organism with test chemical to various nominal test concentrations, EC50 was determine to be 50.26mg/L and 50.12mg/L graphically and through probit analysis. Based on the EC50, it can be concluded that the test chemical was toxic and can be consider to be classified as aquatic chronic 3 as per the CLP classification criteria.
The above study was further supported by another structurally similar read across substance for the test chemical , toxicity of test material was evaluated for aquatic algae Desmodesmus subspicatus for 72 h , the EC50 was observed to be 22.2 mg/l. Based on the above effect concentration it can be considered that test material is toxic and can be classified as aquaticacute 3 as per CLP criteria.
Thus, based on the above summarized studies, test material and it’s structurally similar read across substance, it can be concluded that effect concentration value is in the range of 22.2 to 50.12mg/l. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, test material can be classified as aquatic acute 2 for algae and cyanobacteria
