Executive summary:

Short term toxicity of test chemical on the growth of aquatic invertebrates was determined on the basis of data of structurally and functionally similar read across chemicals. The studies are as mentioned below:

 

The first study was reviewed from authoritative database in this the effect of test chemical on Daphnia magna was determined for the exposure period of 48 hrs. Test conducted according to OECD Guideline 202 (Daphnia sp. Acute Immobilisation Test). Test solutions were prepared by mixing a stock solution of the test substance, which was prepared by mixing and stirring the test substance and water.Test performed at different concentrations 350, 230, 160, 104, 69 mg/L (geometric ratio 1.5), control. Test vessel filled with 400 mL/ concentration (100 mL/vessel) contain 20 daphnia per concentration (5 / vessel). Experiment repeated 4 times with the same condition. Analytical monitoring was done using the GC was the Frequency of analysis was at the start of exposure and the end of exposure. Based on the immobility of test organism daphnia magna due to the exposure of test chemical for 48 hrs, the median effect concentration was determined to be 200 mg/l. Thus on the basis of EC50, chemical was consider as nontoxic and not classified as toxic as per the CLP classification criteria

 

Another study was also reviewed from the authoritative database in this the experiment was conducted according to OECD Guideline 202 (Daphnia sp. Acute Immobilisation Test). Test performed at different concentrations of test chemical, 41, 75, 134, 241, 435, 782 mg/L (geometric ratio 1.8) and control. In this study the test solution volume used was 100 mL and the number of organisms per vessel was 20 per concentration (5 per vessel) and number of vessels per concentration (replicates) was four.

Based on the immobility of test organism daphnia magna due to the exposure of test chemical for 48 hrs, the effect concentration (EC 50 ) value, EC100 value and NOEC value was determined to be 224 mg/L, 435 mg/L 134 mg/L respectively. Thus on the basis of EC50, chemical was consider as nontoxic and not classified as toxic as per the CLP classification criteria.

 

Thus based on the results of both the studies for test chemical, it can be concluded that  EC 50 value of test chemical is expected to be in range from 200 -224 mg/l. By considering this range EC 50 value test chemical is considered to be non toxic and not classified as per the CLP classification criteria.
