- other: REACH guidance on QSARs R.6 May 2008
- Duration:
- 32 d
- Dose descriptor:
- NOEC
- Effect conc.:
- ca. 0.4 mg/L
- Nominal / measured:
- estimated
- Conc. based on:
- act. ingr.
- Basis for effect:

- Conclusions:
- The results in Table 4 indicate that the soluble concentrations of C12 chain length contribute only 4% of the observed toxicity of the mixture. The C14, C16 and C18 chain lengths are estimated to account for approximately 96% of the observed toxicity of the mixture. The results of the study KLS090107 should, therefore, be considered to be an overly conservative estimate for the chronic toxicity to fish to sodium lauroyl isethionate.
- Executive summary:
The toxicity of a mixture comprising mainly of a distribution of homologues can be predicted from an applicable QSAR, the inclusion level of each homologue and the assumption of concentration addition (given that the homologues all have the same MoA). For a defined class of surfactanttoxicity normally increases logarithmically with increase in chain length of the hydrophobic tail [16]. The measured toxicity of a commercial surfactant, therefore, may be driven predominately by a limited number of the more hydrophobic homologues i.e. those that have toxicity orders of magnitude greater than the shorter chain length homologues.
The results in Table 4 indicate that the soluble concentrations of C12 chain length contribute only 4% of the observed toxicity of the mixture. The C14, C16 and C18 chain lengths are estimated to account for approximately 96% of the observed toxicity of the mixture. The results of the study KLS090107 should, therefore, be considered to be an overly conservative estimate for the chronic toxicity to fish to sodium lauroyl isethionate.

- TEST ORGANISM
- Common name: fathead minnow
- Source: embryos used in this study (batch 167-09) were obtained from brood stock held at Brixham Environmental Laboratory
- Source: adult fish used in this study (batch 207-08) were received, as embryos, at Brixham Laboratory from Aquatic Research Organisms, PO Box 1271, 1 Lafayette Road, Hampton, NH 03842, USA.
During the months prior to the start of the exposure they showed no evidence of disease and were held at a temperature of 25 ± 1 degrees C.
The broodstock used for the study were held in 45 l glass tanks under artificial lighting and were contained in water as described for the test dilution water, except that the water was only filtered to 10 µm before use. They were fed daily using a proprietary brand of high protein pelleted fish food, supplemented with frozen brine shrimp. No mortalities were recorded within seven days prior to the start of the study.
METHOD FOR PREPARATION AND COLLECTION OF FERTILIZED EGGS
The adult fish were separated into breeding groups with approximately 3 males and 6 females in each tank. The eggs from the spawnings in 6 brood tanks were collected and pooled in a dish filled with dilution water. Each batch of eggs was less than 24 hours old, and all batches were at either early-cleavage or morula stage of development. Sets of 5 eggs were impartially selected, microscopically examined for viability and placed into incubation cups. This process was repeated until each incubation cup contained a nominal 15 impartially selected eggs.

- TEST SYSTEM
- Emybro cups (if used, type/material, size, fill volume):
Egg incubation cups (2 per replicate tank) were made from 80 mm standard lengths of 50 mm diameter glass tubing with nylon mesh attached to the bottom of each cup using silicone sealant. The cups were suspended in the test vessels and oscillated vertically over a distance of approximately 20 - 50 mm at a rate of 2 oscillations min-1.
- Test vessel:
The test vessels were of all glass construction, rectangular in shape with external dimensions of 305 mm x 205 mm x 210 mm (standard length x width x depth) and a maximum capacity of approximately 12 L. The test solution volume used was nominally 9.5 L. Two replicate test vessels (termed A and B) were employed for each treatment.
- Type of flow-through (e.g. peristaltic or proportional diluter):
A dynamic (flow through) test system was used for the study. The test apparatus was constructed of glass with a minimum of other materials (silicone tubing and sealant) in contact with the test solutions. Settling vessels, 2 L glass beakers with a nominal working volume of 1000 ml, were introduced to remove as much particulate matter from the system prior to the test solution reaching the test vessels.
- Renewal rate of test solution (frequency/flow rate): 35 tank volumes per day
- No. of fertilized eggs/embryos per vessel: 2x15 per vessel
- No. of vessels per concentration (replicates): 2 tanks
- No. of vessels per control (replicates): 2
- No. of vessels per vehicle control (replicates): Not applicable
- Biomass loading rate: no data
TEST MEDIUM / WATER PARAMETERS
- Source/preparation of dilution water:
The dilution water was dechlorinated tap water, which had been passed through activated carbon, coarsely filtered to remove particulate material and dechlorinated with sodium thiosulphate. Salts were added, as required, to maintain minimum hardness levels, and the treated water was then passed through an ultraviolet steriliser to a set of 20 and 10 µm filters. The supply was then delivered to a temperature controlled header tank in the test laboratory set to the nominal test temperature of 25 ± 1 degrees C and finally re-filtered at 5 µm before use.

- Type of and number with morphological and behaviour abnormalities:
Observations of the behaviour and any symptoms of abnormality were made throughout the test and the following were described:
Four of the newly hatched fry appeared to be paler and weaker than the rest (nominal 0.32, 0.56 & 1.0 mg/L). On Day 7 post hatch two smaller, weaker fry were noted as well as 2 deformed fry (nominal 0.56 mg/L). By Day 14 post hatch six small fry were observed within the study (nominal 0.32, 0.56 & 1.0 mg/L) and on Day 21 post hatch five small fry were observed (DWC and nominal 0.32, 0.56 & 1.0 mg/L). It was also noted that a number of the fry appeared to be paler in appearance to the rest (not concentration related). At the end of the study, Day 28 post hatch, 4 of the small fry remained (DWC and nominal 0.32, 0.56 & 1.0 mg/L) but there were no longer any pale or deformed fry present and the remainder of the fry appeared to be healthy.
- Effect concentrations exceeding solubility of substance in test medium: no data
- Incidents in the course of the test which might have influenced the results: none - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- not applicable
- Reported statistics and error estimates:
- The acceptability of the test was considered from the Relative Standard Deviation (RSD), of the dry weights of the fish, which were alive at the end of the test in the controls. The values obtained were 34 and 25 % for A and B replicates, respectively. The RSD is defined as the standard deviation expressed as a percentage of the mean (this is equivalent to the coefficient of variation). The RSD for weight data were all less than 40% and are, therefore, considered acceptable according to the EPA Standard Evaluation Procedure.
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- For all the biological parameters included in the evaluation (hatch, survival, standard length, and dry weight) the overall results based on mean measured dissolved concentrations (numbers in brackets are mean measured total concentrations) are:
No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC): 0.045 (0.11) mg/L
Lowest Observed Effect Concentration (LOEC): 0.11 (0.22) mg/L - Executive summary:
An OECD 210 Fish Early Life stage toxicity of SLI(76) stripped to fathead minnow was conducted.
For all the biological parameters included in the evaluation (hatch, survival, standard length, and dry weight) the overall results based on mean measured dissolved concentrations (numbers in brackets are mean measured total concentrations) are: No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC): 0.045 (0.11) mg/L Lowest Observed Effect Concentration (LOEC): 0.11 (0.22) mg/L.

The results in Table 4 indicate that the soluble concentrations of C12 chain length contribute only 4% of the observed toxicity of the mixture. The C14, C16 and C18 chain lengths are estimated to account for approximately 96% of the observed toxicity of the mixture. The results of the study KLS090107 should, therefore, be considered to be an overly conservative estimate for the chronic toxicity to fishto sodium lauroyl isethionate.

* Statistically significant difference between treatment and DWC (p <0.05)
A statistically significant increase in dry weight was detected in the 0.56 and 1.0 mg l-1when compared with the dilution water control, however, this was not considered to be an adverse biological effect.
The nominal 1.8 mg l-1concentration was not included in the calculations as only 1 larvae survived.
Description of key information
A 32 day NOEC for fish was calculated for the target substance using a polar narcosis QSAR and Toxic unit approach methodology from the results obtained in a study using C12-18 and C18-unsatd., 2-sulfoethyl esters, sodium salts (CAS no 85408-62-4)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Fresh water fish

Additional information
There is no chronic fish toxicity studyavailable for lauric acid 2-sulfoethyl ester, sodium salt (sodium lauroyl isethionate) CAS No 7381-01-3. There is however a study on the source chemical Fatty acids, C12-18 and C18-unsatd., 2-sulfoethyl esters, sodium salts CAS No 85408-62-4, which isKlimisch rated 2and was carried out according to theOECD guideline 210 under GLP,as described in Hurd 2009.
The results from the Hurd study were used as the starting point for calculating the NOEC for for lauric acid 2-sulfoethyl ester, sodium salt using a Toxic Unit approach.
The toxicity of a mixture comprising mainly of a distribution of homologues can be predicted from an applicable QSAR, the inclusion level of each homologue and the assumption of concentration addition (given that the homologues all have the same MoA). For a defined class of surfactanttoxicity normally increases logarithmically with increase in chain length of the hydrophobic tail [16]. The measured toxicity of a commercial surfactant, therefore, may be driven predominately by a limited number of the more hydrophobic homologues i.e. those that have toxicity orders of magnitude greater than the shorter chain length homologues.
The results indicate that the soluble concentrations of C12 chain length contribute only 4% of the observed toxicity of the mixture. The C14, C16 and C18 chain lengths are estimated to account for approximately 96% of the observed toxicity of the mixture. The results of the study KLS090107 should, therefore, be considered to be an overly conservative estimate for the chronic toxicity to fish to sodium lauroyl isethionate.
