Additional information

Based on the experimental data for the target compound calcium 3-hydroxy-4-[(4-methyl-2-sulfonatophenyl) diazenyl]-2-naphthoate (CAS no. 5281-04-9) and experimental studies for supporting studies for its structural and functional similarity were reviewed for the short term toxicity on the aquatic invertebrates end point which are summarized as below: 

 

In the first key study for the target chemical calcium 3-hydroxy-4-[(4-methyl-2-sulfonatophenyl) diazenyl]-2-naphthoate from secondary sources toxicity was measured. Detection of the effect of calcium 3-hydroxy-4-[(4-methyl-2-sulfonatophenyl) diazenyl]-2-naphthoate on the growth of daphnia magna by following standard OECD guideline. The test was performed in static system by following the OECD guideline. Daphnia magna exposed with the chemical for 24hrs. Based on the immobilization of daphnia magna by the chemical calcium 3-hydroxy-4-[(4-methyl-2-sulfonatophenyl) diazenyl]-2-naphthoate (D & C Red no. 7) for 24hrs, the EC50 was 280 mg/l. Based on the EC50, chemical was consider as nontoxic and not classified as per the CLP classification criteria.

 

First study was supported by the second experimental study for the structural and functional similarity read across chemical (from experimental study 2016). Determination of the inhibition of the mobility of daphnids was carried out with the test substance according to OECD Guideline 202. A limit test at sample concentration of 100 mg/L was performed. Effects on immobilisation were observed for 48 hours. The median effective concentration (EC50) for the test substance, in Daphnia magna was determined to be >100 mg/L for immobilisation effects. Based on this EC50 value and after comparing with CLP criteria for aquatic classification of the substance it is concluded that the substance, does not exhibit short term toxicity to aquatic invertebrate (Daphnia Magna) and not classified.

Similarly in the third study for the structurally similar read across chemical toxicity was measured (from experimental study 2016). Determination of the inhibition of the mobility of daphnids was carried out with the substance according to OECD Guideline 202. The limit test was performed at 100 mg/l. Effects on immobilisation were observed for 48 hours. The solution 100 mg/l was prepared by dissolving brown powder in reconstituted water. The effective concentration (EC8) for the test substance, in Daphnia magna was determined to be 100 mg/L on the basis of mobility inhibition effects in a 48 hour study. This value indicates that the substance is likely to be non-hazardous to aquatic invertebrates and cannot be classified as toxic as per the CLP criteria.

 

Based on the above experimental data from various sources, chemical calcium 3-hydroxy-4-[(4-methyl-2-sulfonatophenyl) diazenyl]-2-naphthoate (CAS no. 5281-04-9) was consider as nontoxic and not classified as per the CLP classification criteria.
