Toxicity to terrestrial plants

Currently viewing:

Administrative data

Endpoint:
toxicity to terrestrial plants: long-term
Type of information:
(Q)SAR
Adequacy of study:
weight of evidence
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
results derived from a valid (Q)SAR model and falling into its applicability domain, with adequate and reliable documentation / justification
Justification for type of information:
The target lipid model (TLM) is a framework that relates toxicity to the physicochemical properties of a nonpolar organic constituent. The TLM, and HC5, have been applied to soils and sediment using equilibrium partitioning (EqP) model. This framework utilizes organic carbon partition coefficients (Koc) to convert aquatic based effect levels (CW) to bulk soil- and sediment-based effect levels. The combined TLM-EqP framework was validated previously for soil and sediment acute and chronic toxicity endpoints. The registered substance is within the scope of the TLM and EqP frameworks.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
The TLM-EqP predicted effect values for butene were 122087 and 23.388 mg/kg soil dw for short-term (14-day EL50) and long-term effects (21-day EL10) to Avena sativa, respectively. The TLM-EqP predicted effect values for butene were 78.826 and 15.101 mg/kg soil dw for short-term (14-day EL50) and long-term effects (21-day EL10) to Brassica rapa, respectively.
Executive summary:

The registered substance is highly volatile which complicates environmental testing. Therefore, a modeling framework is needed to account for the bioavailability of the substance to perform read-across and data gap filling. The TLM-EqP modeling has been validated as a suitable method for predicting effect values in terrestrial plants. The TLM-EqP predicted effect values for butene were 122087 and 23.388 mg/kg soil dw for short-term (14-day EL50) and long-term effects (21-day EL10) to Avena sativa, respectively. The TLM-EqP predicted effect values for butene were 78.826 and 15.101 mg/kg soil dw for short-term (14-day EL50) and long-term effects (21-day EL10) to Brassica rapa, respectively.
