Description of key information
No effects up to the limit of water solubility (EU method C. 3, D. subspicatus); read-across
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
There is no study available assessing the toxicity of the target substance Fatty acids, C16-18, isononyl esters (CAS 91031-57-1) to aquatic algae. Therefore, read-across to the structurally related source substance 2-ethylhexyl oleate (CAS 26399-02-0) was conducted in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 Annex XI, 1.5. The source substance is considered a suitable representative for the assessment of the toxicity of the target substance to aquatic algae. A detailed read-across justification is provided in IUCLID section 13.
The available study was conducted according to EU method C. 3 under consideration of the VCI concept draft for the acute testing of poorly soluble substances from 1994-01-31 and GLP. The effects of 2-ethylhexyl oleate (CAS 26399-02-0) to the freshwater algae Scenedesmus subspicatus were investigated in a 72-h static limit test. The test solutions were prepared by two different methods, i.e. by direct weigh-in (24 h shaking) with and without filtration. The testing with a nominal concentration of 100 mg/L without removal of insoluble particles resulted in a mean inhibition of the algal growth rate and biomass of 38.3% and 75.1%, respectively. No effects were observed after removal of insoluble particles (filtration of the test solution) on algal growth rate and a stimulation of biomass by 23.1 % was observed. It can be assumed that undissolved test item inhibited algal growth due to physical effects and not due to intrinsic toxicity. Therefore, an ErC50 (72 h) of > 100 mg/L can be derived, implying that no effect could be observed up to the limit of the water solubility.
Based on the structural and chemical similarity of the target and source substance, the target substance is expected to exhibit a similar ecotoxicological profile. Therefore, it can be concluded that Fatty acids, C16-18, isononyl esters (CAS 91031-57-1) will not exhibit toxic effects to aquatic algae up to the limit of water solubility.
