Description of key information
Based on the prediction done using the OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3 with log kow as the primary descriptor and considering the closest read across substances, the toxicity on algae was predicted 1,1'-(4-Chlorobutylidene)bis(4-fluorobenzene) (CAS: 3312-04-7). Effect concentration i.e EC50 value was estimated to be 115.98 mg/l for Scenedesmus sp. for 72 hrs duration. It was concluded that the 1,1'-(4-Chlorobutylidene)bis(4-fluorobenzene) (CAS: 3312-04-7) was likely to be not toxic to aquatic algae, hence it can be considered to be “not Classified” as per the CLP classification criteria for aquatic environment.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- EC50 for freshwater algae:

Additional information
Following three studies of target chemical and read across chemical includes predicted data and experimental data to conclude the aquatic algae and cyanobacteria toxicity of 1,1'-(4-Chlorobutylidene)bis(4-fluorobenzene) (CAS: 3312-04-7) are summarized below:
Based on the prediction done using the OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3 with log kow as the primary descriptor and considering the closest read across substances, the toxicity on algae was predicted 1,1'-(4-Chlorobutylidene)bis(4-fluorobenzene) (CAS: 3312-04-7). Effect concentration i.e EC50 value was estimated to be 115.98 mg/l for Scenedesmus sp. for 72 hrs duration. It was concluded that the 1,1'-(4-Chlorobutylidene)bis(4-fluorobenzene) (CAS: 3312-04-7) was likely to be not toxic to aquatic algae, hence it can be considered to be “not Classified” as per the CLP classification criteria for aquatic environment.
The above predicted data is supported by the experimental data of read across 2-chloropropane (CAS: 75-29-6) from chemosphere 1994, indicates that The Effective concentration to 50% of Scenedesmus subspicatus is 870 g/mol. Considering Population changes effects, It can be concluded that the 2-chloropropane is not toxic to aquatic algae.
Similar experimental study available for another read across Bromocyclen (CAS: 1715-40-8), from Munch.Beitr.Abwasser-, Fisch.- Flussbiol. 1997 suggests that The Effective concentration EC50 to 50% of Scenedesmus Subspicatus (Green algae) at 72 his >100 mg/l. IT can be concluded from the value that the Bromocyclen is not toxic to the aquatic environment.
Thus based on the effect concentrations which is in the range > 100 mg/l to 870 mg/Lgive the conclusion that test substance 1,1'-(4-Chlorobutylidene)bis(4-fluorobenzene) (CAS: 3312-04-7) was likely to be not toxic to aquatic algae at environmentally relevant concentrations and can be considered to be“not classified”as per the CLP classification criteria.
