- Conclusions:
- The 96-h LL50 of Versatic 10 to rainbow trout was >100 mg/L
- Executive summary:
The toxicity of neo-decanoic acid to rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) was studied for a 96 -h contact period based on mortality. The test concentrations were 30, 100, 300 and 1000 mg/L (nominal) and effects did not appear up to the concentration of 100 mg/L. Therefore, the 96-h LL50 of neo-decanoic acid to rainbow trout was reported as >100 mg/L and <300 mg/L (measured concentrations). The information on neo-decanoic acid is used in a read-across approach for the assessment of the target substance neodecanoic acid, iron salt. The water solubility of neodecanoic acid, iron salt, is below the LL50 concentration reported for neodecanoic acid. Therefore, it is safe to assume that neodecanoic acid, iron salt, will not exhibit toxic effects in the aquatic environment.

- Conclusions:
- Measured concentrations were 11.7, 16.5, 24.0, 34.4, 62.6 and 99.2 mg/L (nominal concentrations at 10, 15, 24, 39, 63 and 100 mg/L). The LC50 (96 hr) equals 46.6 mg/L with a 95 % confidence limit was 36.1 – 61.5 mg/L. LC50 value and 95 % confidence limit were calculated by Probit method (EPA/600/4-85/13, 1985).
- Executive summary:
The 96–hr-acute toxicity of iron dichloride to Oryzias latipes was studied under static conditions according to OECD 203 (GLP). Oryzias latipes were exposed to control, and test substance at measured concentrations of 11.7, 16.5, 24.0, 34.4, 62.6 and 99.2 mg/L (nominal concentrations at 10, 15, 24, 39, 63 and 100 mg/L) for 96 hrs. Mortality was observed daily. The 96 – hour LC50 with 95 % confidence limit was 36.1 – 61.5 mg/L. LC50 value and 95 % confidence limit were calculated by Probit method (EPA/600/4 -85/13, 1985).
This study is classified as acceptable and satisfies the guideline requirements for an acute toxicity study with fish.

Description of key information
The potential toxicity of neodecanoic acid, iron salt to fish is assessed via read-across from its corresponding acid neodecanoic acid and and the counter-ion iron.
In a valid 96-hr short-term toxicity study according to OECD 203 (Eadsforth et al., 1998), Oncorhynchus mykiss were exposed to neodecanoic acid at nominal concentrations of 0.0 (control) and 30, 100, 300 and 1000 mg/L under semi-static conditions. Effects were observed. The LL50 value, based on mortality, was > 100 mg/L (arithm. mean measured concentration). As the measured concentrations of neodecanoic acid are far above the water solubility of the target substance neodecanoic acid, iron salt, aquatic short-term toxicity against fish is considered unlikely.
The toxicity of soluble iron (III) salts to fish was determined in a series of 96-hr tests, which were carried out at pH values between 4.1 and 7.8 and published in existing reviews (Johnson et al. 2007, OECD 2007). The lowest LC50 (96-hr, Oryzias latipes) of 46.6 mg FeCl2/L (corresponding to 20.5 mg Fe/L) was reported by Bae et al. (2005). Soluble iron as such is considered not to exert any systemic effects on fish in the tested concentration range of up to 100 mg/L in a neutralized solution.
In conclusion, true, intrinsic toxicity of iron cations in aquatic test organisms cannot be determined in studies when the solubility of the dissolved ferric cation (as the ferrous form will readily be oxidized to ferric species) is exceeded. None of the experiments found effects at such low levels. Therefore, acute effects are most likely the results of physical processes (pH-effect; electrostatic effects).
Finally, neither neodecanoic acid nor soluble iron (III) salt, of which neodecanoic acid, iron salt, is composed, exhibit any mortality in fish up to maximally achievable water soluble concentrations of the target substance. This information is used in a read-across approach in the assessment of the target substance neodecanoid acid, iron salt. A key value (LC50) for chemical safety assessment hence cannot be identified.
