Description of key information
No effects up to the limit of water solubility (OECD 209); read-across
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
There is no study available, in which the toxicity of the target substance lauryl nonanoate (CAS 17671-26-0) to microorganisms was assessed. Therefore, read-across to the two structurally related source substances Fatty acids, C8-10, C12-18-alkyl esters (CAS 95912-86-0) and octyl octanoate (CAS 2306-88-9) was conducted in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 Annex XI, 1.5. Both source substances are characterized by similar fatty acid chain lengths as well as alcohol components and are therefore considered suitable representatives for the assessment of the toxicity of the target substance to microorganisms. A detailed read-across justification is provided in the analogue justification in IUCLID Section 13.
Both available studies with suitable source substances were conducted according to OECD 209 and GLP with identical test design and findings. In both studies five, nominal concentrations of 62.5, 125, 250, 500, and 1000 mg/L test item were inoculated with 1.5 g/L activated sludge (dry matter) in a static test for 3 h and total oxygen concentration was followed. The test item was directly weighed into the test vessels. No analytical verification of the test item concentrations in the test solutions was performed. After 3 h exposure neither study observed any significant effect on the total respiration rate.
Based on the structural and chemical similarity of the target and source substances, the target substance is expected to exhibit a similar ecotoxicological profile. Therefore, it can be concluded that lauryl nonanoate (CAS 17671-26-0) will not exhibit toxic effects to microorganisms up to the limit of water solubility.
