WoE report is based on three toxicity study of aquatic algae and cyanobacteria for the test chemical :1.Estimation of 96 hr EC50 value of test chemical by modelling Database - ECOSAR v.1.11. The ECOSAR Class Program is a computerized version of the ECOSAR analysis procedures as currently practiced by the Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT).  It has been developed within the regulatory constraints of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).  It is a pragmatic approach to SAR. The structure-activity relationships (SARs) presented in this program are used to predict the aquatic toxicity of chemicals based on their similarity of structure to chemicals for which the aquatic toxicity has been previously measured.  Most SAR calculations in the ECOSAR Class Program are based upon the octanol/water partition coefficient (Kow).  Various surfactant SAR calculations are based upon the average length of carbon chains or the number of ethoxylate units.2.To evaluate toxicity to algae by test chemical3.To evaluate toxicity of test material to algae Raphidocelis subcapitata

Details on test solutions:

2.The test solution was prepared in aseptic condition. The test item was prepared by adding 21 mg of test item in 200ml of BBM to get the final concentration of 105mg/L. This stock solution was kept for stirring for 30 minutes to obtain a homogenous solution for the experiment. The test concentrations were chosen according to the available data of the test item. The remaining test solutions were prepared by dilution from the above stock solution. To have a better growth and visibility of cells, the initial cell density of the culture was kept 1 X 104cells/ml. Care was taken to have a homogeneous solution for the experiment.

Executive summary:

Data available for the structurally similar read across chemicals and predicted study has been reviewed to determine the toxicity of aquatic algae and cyanobacteria of the test chemical tetrasodium 2-[[4-[[4-[(4-amino-6-chloro-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)amino] -5-sulphonato-1-naphthyl]azo] -7-sulphonato-1-naphthyl]azo] benzene-1,4-disulphonate (70161 -16 -9).The studies are as mentioned below:

1.The short-term toxicity of the test substancetetrasodium 2-[[4-[[4-[(4-amino-6-chloro-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl) amino]-5-sulphonato-1-naphthyl]azo]-7- sulphonato -1-naphthyl]azo]benzene-1,4-disulphonate (CAS no.70161 -16 -9) to green algae is predicted using EPI Suite ECOSAR version 1.10. On the basis of effects observed in a static freshwater system during a 96 hr exposure, the effect concentration (EC50) for the substance is estimated to be 49.0 mg/L. Based on this value, it can be concluded that the test chemical  can be considered as toxicto green algae at environmentally relevant concentrations and can be considered to be classified in aquatic acute category 3 as per the CLP classification criteria.

 

2.The effect of test item was studied on the growth of fresh water green algaChlorella vulgaris.The study was conducted following OECD guideline 201- Alga, growth inhibition test. The test concentration chosen for the study were 0.3 mg/L, 0.96 mg/L, 3.072 mg/L, 9.830 mg/L, 31.457 mg/L and 100.663 mg/L. The test concentrations were prepared using stock solution of the test item using mineral media. The green alga was exposed to the test concentration for a period of 72 hours to observe average specific growth rate and % growth inhibition under the effect of the test item. EC50 calculated graphically through probit analysis was observed to be 24.342 mg/L.

3.The 72 h algal growth inhibition test with Raphidocelis subcapitata was done according to OECD 201. Algae were routinely cultured at 25±1 °C with light in Cyanobacteria BG-11 Freshwater Solution. Algae were exposed to the treatment in sterile 24-well plates with 2 mL of test material.

 The effect concentration (EC50) for the test material against Raphidocelis subcapitata was observed to be 67.2 mg/l.

Thus, based on the above summarised studies, and it’s structurally similar read across substance, it can be concluded that effect concetration value is in the range of 49 - 67 mg/L. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, tetrasodium 2-[[4-[[4-[(4-amino-6-chloro-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)amino]-5-sulphonato-1-naphthyl]azo]-7-sulphonato-1-naphthyl]azo]benzene-1,4-disulphonate can be classified as aquatic acute 3 for toxicity for aquatic algae and cyanobacteria.
