key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: QSAR calculation, reliable with restrictions
Justification for type of information:
Measured data are not available for this endpoint for Category B. Due to the practical difficulties associated with the ecotoxicity testing of Category B (highly variable composition), the use of QSAR toxicity estimates of individual constituents, groups of constituents or read-across constituents is an appropriate alternative. The ECOSAR model is a reliable and appropriate QSAR model to apply to this substance as it is based on a related chemical dataset that calculates the toxicity of neutral organic hydrocarbons whose mode of action is non-polar narcosis. The endpoint calculated here is therefore a reasonable estimate of its baseline toxicity.
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
(Q)SAR model reporting (QMRF)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The ECOSAR class program has been developed primarily for the evaluation of neutral organic compounds and organic classes with excess toxicity. The QSARs in the ECOSAR program are developed for chemical classes based on measured test data that have been submitted by industry or they are developed by other sources for chemicals with similar structures, e.g., phenols. Using the measured aquatic toxicity values and estimated Kow values, regression equations can be developed for a class of chemicals. Toxicity values for new chemicals may then be calculated by inserting the Kow value into the regression equation and correcting the resultant value for the molecular weight of the compound.

Conclusions:

Executive summary:

The ECOSAR model was used as a reliable and appropriate QSAR model to predict the baseline toxicity of Trimers of butene (dodecene, branched) (CAS 97280-83-6) for fish. The Chronic Value (ChV) for fish was predicted to be 0.004 mg/L.

Description of key information

Due to the absence of experimental data, ECOSAR modelling was used as key study to calculate the LC50 values of six representative Category B constituents and one representative read-across molecule, ranging from C8 to C20. The ChV values for fish range from 0.0000053 to 0.153 mg/L.

 

In addition of the ECOSAR data, the aquatic toxicity for the main Category B constituents (C8, C12, C16 and C20 iso-olefins) was predicted by a QSAR, the PETROTOX computer model. Petrotox is a well-documented and peer reviewed model that is widely used across the chemicals industry. The predicted EL10 values for Oncorhynchus mykiss ranged from 0.568 to >1000 mg/L.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

ECOSAR:

Due to the absence of experimental data, ECOSAR modelling was used as key study to predict the LC50 values of six representative Category B constituents and one representative read-across molecule, ranging from C8 to C20.The ChV values for fish are reported in the following table:

 

  CAS 25167-70-8 CAS 91053-01-9 CAS 97280-83-6 CAS 7756-94-7 CAS 9003-29-6 CAS 91053-00-8 CAS 42278-27-3

The ChV, or Chronic Value, is defined as the geometric mean of the no observed effect concentration (NOEC) and the lowest observed effect concentration (LOEC). This can be mathematically represented as: ChV = 10^([log (LOEC x NOEC)]/2).

PETROTOX:

The PETROTOX v4.0 model combines a partitioning model used to calculate the aqueous concentration of hydrocarbon constituents with the Target Lipid Model used to calculate acute and chronic toxicity of non-polar narcotic chemicals. PETROTOX computes toxicity based on the summation of the aqueous-phase concentrations of hydrocarbon block(s) that represent a hydrocarbon substance and membrane-water partition coefficients (KMW) that describe the partitioning of the hydrocarbons between the water and organism.

The predicted values were:

Species Carbon No. EL10 (mg/L)
Oncorhynchus mykiss C8 0.568
Oncorhynchus mykiss C12 >1000
Oncorhynchus mykiss C16 >1000
Oncorhynchus mykiss C20 >1000
