Short-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- short-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates
- Type of information:
- read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
- Adequacy of study:
- supporting study
- Justification for type of information:
- The target substance is a mono-constituent organotin substance that consists of a tin as central metal element with two octyl-ligands. The source substance Dioctyltin oxide (DOTO) (EC Number 212-791-1 and CAS 870-08-6) is also an organotin compound that has the identical structure elements as the target substance in respect of the tin-alkyl moiety.
According to WHO IPCS CIRCAD (2006) organotin compounds are characterized by a tin–carbon bond and have the general formula RxSn(L)(4−x), where R is an organic alkyl or aryl group and L is an organic (or sometimes inorganic) ligand. The organotin moiety is significant toxicologically. The anionic ligand influences physicochemical properties but generally has little or no effect on the toxicology.
Since the target substance and the source substances share the identical organotin moiety, and the organotin moiety is generally recognized as the relevant toxophore of organotins and the toxicity estimates (AE) respectively toxicity limits for organotins are expressed as tin, the overall ecotoxicity/systemic toxicity of the target can be interpolated by assessing the (eco-)toxicity of the source (WHO IPCS CIRCAD, 2006, BAUA AGS TRGS 900, 2014, Summer KH, Klein D and Greim H, 2003).
The purity of the source and target substance are expected to be similar, based on the manufacturing method. The impurity profile is not expected to have strong effects on substance properties and any impurity of (eco-)toxicological relevance of the source substances is expected to be present in the target substance. Consequently, the hazard profiles of the source substances, including those of their impurities, are intrinsically covered. Differences in impurities are not expected and thus do not have an impact on the (eco-)toxic properties.

TEST CONCENTRATIONS
- Range finding study: A range finding study demonstrated that no adverse effects were expected within the aqueous solubility of the test material. The test was therefore carried out using a limit test with a WSF (water soluble fraction). - Reference substance (positive control):
- no
- Duration:
- 48 h
- Dose descriptor:
- EC50
- Effect conc.:
- > 0.21 mg/L
- Nominal / measured:
- meas. (geom. mean)
- Conc. based on:
- test mat.
- Basis for effect:
- mortality
- Remarks on result:
- other: EC50 of the test material is greater than the limit of solubility of the test material. Aqueous solubility of the test material is between 0.09 and 0.54 mg/L
- Details on results:
- - Behavioural abnormalities: One daphnid in the WSF was found to be swimming with irregular movements at the end of the test.
- Mortality of control: No daphnids were found to be immobile in the control - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- no
- Remarks:
- This was attributed to the preparation method.
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the study, the 48 h EC50 of the test material with Daphnia magna was greater than the water solubility of the test material.
- Executive summary:
The acute toxicity of the test material to the fresh-water crustacean Daphnia magna was determined in a semi-static test conducted in accordance with OECD 202 and EU method C.2 and in line with GLP. Due to the insolubility of the test material, the study was performed with a water soluble fraction as a limit test. Under the conditions of the test, the 48 h EC50 of the test substance was found to be greater than the water solubility of the test material.

1Water Soluble Fraction, prepared by stirring 100 mg test material per litre of media |
Description of key information
EC50 >0.21 mg/L (geometric mean of the solubility of the test material), EC50> water solubility ( 0.09 - 0.54 mg/L), dioctyltin oxide, OECD 202, EU Method C.2, Hooftman & de Wolf 2004
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The data requirement was addressed by the key study, Hooftman & de Wolf (2004). The study was performed to GLP and in line with the OECD guideline 202 and EU method C.2. As the study was performed on a read-across substance in the same category as the registered substance (di-n-octyltin oxide), it was assigned a reliability score of 2 (reliable with acceptable restrictions) in accordance with the criteria for assessing data quality as outlined in Klimisch (1997) and considered suitable for assessment as an accurate reflection of the test material.
Due to the insolubility of the test material, the study was performed with a water soluble fraction as a limit test to Daphnia magna. Under the conditions of the study, the 48 h EC50 was found to be greater than the water solubility of the test material (aqueous solubility is between 0.09 and 0.54 mg/L). The EC50 is >0.21 mg/L (geometric mean of the solubility of the test material).
Supporting information was available in the form of a study reported by Rufli (1988). The study was performed to the OECD guideline 202 and was also conducted with the read across substance, dioctyltin oxide. However the observations performed during the study did not extend past the 24 hour period, with no explanation as to why the 48 hour observation was not performed. The study lacked details in the reporting in some areas and some deficiencies were present in the performance of the test, such as the test concentrations were not maintained throughout the entire test period. As such the study was assigned a reliability score of 2 in line with the principles of assigning data quality as outlined in Klimisch (1997). As the results of the study confirmed the lack of toxicity observed in the more reliable key study, the study was considered reliable with restrictions and suitable as supporting information to the key study. Under the conditions of the test, the EC50 of the test substance in Daphnia magna was determined to be greater than the water solubility of the test substance.
