Description of key information
Using the OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3 with log kow as the primary descriptor and considering the six closest read across substances, the short term toxicity on aquatic invertebrates was predicted for Butane-1,2,3,4-tetracarboxylic acid (Cas no.1703-58-8). Effect concentration i.e EC50 value was estimated to be 445.8 mg/l for Daphnia magna for 48 hrs duration. It was concluded that the Butane-1,2,3,4-tetracarboxylic acid (Cas no.1703-58-8) was likely to be non-toxic to aquatic invertebrates, hence it can be considered to be classified as per the CLP classification criteria for aquatic environment.

Additional information
Four studies including predicted data from validated tools and experimental data from peer reviewed journal and authorative database for short term aquatic invertebrate’s endpoint of test chemical Butane-1,2,3,4-tetracarboxylic acid (Cas no. 1703-58-8) with relevant read across which is close to target using log Kow as primary descriptor were summarised as follows:
Based on the prediction done using the OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3 with log kow as the primary descriptor and considering the six closest read across substances, the short term toxicity on aquatic invertebrates was predicted for Butane-1,2,3,4-tetracarboxylic acid (Cas no.1703-58-8). Effect concentration i.e EC50 value was estimated to be 445.8 mg/l for Daphnia magna for 48 hrs duration.
Similar prediction byUsing the EPI Suite ECOSAR version 1.11, the short term toxicity on fish was predicted for Butane-1,2,3,4-tetracarboxylic acid (CAS no. 1703-58-8) the effects observed in a freshwater system. The lethal concentration LC50 value for Butane-1,2,3,4-tetracarboxylic acid estimated to be 20500000 mg/l for fish for 96 hr exposure duration.
Above predicted results of target assist by experimental result of read across chemicalL-(+)-lactic acid(Cas no:79-33-4) from peer reviewed journalChemosphere 1998, In a 48-h short term toxicity test, 5 Daphnia magna were exposed to L-(+)-lactic acid at nominal concentrations of 0 (control), 320 and 560 mg/L under static conditions. The Effective concentration to 50% of Daphnia magna is 240 mg/l at which the organisms were immobile.
One another read across (Malonic acid)(Cas no.141-82-2) fromJournal of the Water Pollution Control Federation,1980. The effective concentration EC50 value forDaphnia magna when exposed to Malonic acid for 48 Hour is275 mg/l. on the basis of obtained value it can be concluded that the Malonic acid is not toxic toDaphnia magna.
Thus based on the all available effect concentrations which is in the range of 240 mg/l to 20500000 mg/l for target and read across chemicals which come to the conclusion that test substance Butane-1,2,3,4-tetracarboxylic acid (Cas no. 1703-58-8) was likely to be non-toxic to aquatic algae as it not exceed the classification criteria, hence it can be considered to be not classified as per the CLP regulation.
