Conclusions:
The Effective concentration (EC50) value for test substance 4-Nonylphenol, branched, ethoxylated on Daphnia magna in a 48 hr. exposure was estimated to be 23.06 mg/L on the basis of effects on mobility.
Executive summary:

Based on the prediction done using the OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.4 with log kow as the primary descriptor and considering the five closest read across substances, the short term toxicity on aquatic invertebrates was predicted for Poly (oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), alpha-(4-nonylphenyl)-omega-hydroxy-, branched (CAS:127087-87-0). EC50 value was estimated to be 23.06 mg/L on the basis of mobility for Daphnia magna for 48 hrs duration.

Based on this value it can be concluded that the Poly (oxy-1, 2-ethanediyl), alpha-(4-nonylphenyl)-omega-hydroxy-, branched (CAS: 127087-87-0) can be considered as toxic to aquatic invertebrates at environmentally relevant concentrations and can be classified in aquatic chronic category 3 as per the CLP classification criteria.

Additional information

Short term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates for Poly (oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), alpha-(4-nonylphenyl)-omega-hydroxy-, branched (CAS no127087-87-0) was summaries with one estimated data for target and 3 experimental studies with two read across substances.

Based on the prediction done using the OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.4 with log kow as the primary descriptor and considering the five closest read across substances, the short term toxicity on aquatic invertebrates was predicted for Poly (oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), alpha-(4-nonylphenyl)-omega-hydroxy-, branched (CAS:127087-87-0). EC50 value was estimated to be 23.06 mg/L on the basis of mobility for Daphnia magna for 48 hrs duration.

A study was performed on read across chemical Polyethylene glycol nonylphenyl ether (NPE 9) (9016-45-9) was reported. (Environmental toxicology and chemistry, 12pp, 176-199, 1992). Short term toxicity study was conducted on Daphnia magna for 48 hrs in static-renewal exposures with daily replacement of fresh surfactant. 250 ml test vessel was used in which 100 ml of test solutions were taken with 5 daphnia in per replicate and 4 replicates concentrations. Mortality and mobility were observed for 48 hrs. After the experimental period of 48 hrs, the EC 50 value for daphnia magna for Polyethylene glycol nonylphenyl ether (NPE 9) (9016-45-9) was determined to be 14 mg/l based on mortality and mobility effects.

Another read across 4-Nonylphenol, ethoxylated (26027-38-3)(Ecotox database, 2017) for which a short term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates was performed in Daphnia magna for 48 hr using freshwater in static condition. 5 daphnia magna were used having age of <24 hrs. After experiment, the LC 50 value for 4-Nonylphenol, ethoxylated (26027-38-3) was determined to be 18.2 mg/l on the basis of mortality.

From the above same reference and read across 4-Nonylphenol, ethoxylated (26027-38-3) (Ecotox database, 2017) a study was performed in Gammarus pulex (Scud) for 48 hr using freshwater. After experiment the LC 50 value for 4-Nonylphenol, ethoxylated (26027-38-3) for Gammarus pulex (Scud) was determined to be 20.9 mg/l on the basis of mortality.

On the basis of predicted results for toxicity to aquatic invertebrates from target and study from read across, as all the above weight of evidences has supported the classification hence it can be considered that Poly (oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), alpha-(4-nonylphenyl)-omega-hydroxy-, branched (CAS no127087-87-0) was likely to be toxic to aquatic invertebrates at environmentally relevant concentrations and can be considered to classified in aquatic chronic 3 as per the criteria of CLP regulation
