- Executive summary:
The purpose of this study was to determine the acute toxicity of Hydrocarbons, C9, aromatics to the fish O. mykiss. Groups of 10 fish were exposed to 0, 0.7, 2.0, 5.0, 17.0, or 50.0 mg/L (WAF) of test substance. The fish were exposed for 96 hrs, in a semi-static exposure. Animals were examined for mortality and signs of toxicity at 6, 24, 48, 72, and 96 hrs of exposure. All animals in the 17.0, and 50.0 mg/l exposure groups died by the first observation at 6 hrs. All other animals survived.
Based on mortality, the 96 -hr LL50 for fish is 9.2 mg/L (WAF).

- Remarks:
- The study was given a reliability rating of 1 because it followed a standard test guideline, which describes a procedure to evaluate this endpoint, and the results were reviewed for reliability and assessed as valid. The study was also conducted under GLP.
- Justification for type of information:
- Hydrocarbons, C9-C10, aromatics, >1% Naphthalene are a combination of Hydrocarbons, C9 Aromatics and Hydrocarbons, C10-C12 Aromatics. Read across data is available for Hydrocarbons, C9 Aromatics and Hydrocarbons, C10-C12 Aromatics and the worst case scenario for each end point has been presented.

- Analytical monitoring:

- Details on sampling:
- However, analysis of the test media was restricted to the media produced at higher loading rates. All media produced at loading rates less 2mg/L
were not analysed because they were below the limit of determination (2.5 mg/L) of the analytical method. - Vehicle:
- no
- Details on test solutions:
- Individual treatment solutions were prepared as Water Accommodated Fractions (WAFs). This included adding test substance to glass vessels,
which contained laboratory dilution water and mixing for approximately 24 hours with a magnetic stirrer to produce a series of geometrically-
spaced loading rates (mg/L). After mixing, the WAFs were allowed to settle for an hour. The aqueous phase was then drawn off and transferred
to 11 litre full-volume, spherical glass vessels which were completely filled. An additional vessel received dechlorinated water only and
served as a control. - Test organisms (species):
- Oncorhynchus mykiss (previous name: Salmo gairdneri)
- Details on test organisms:
- O.mykiss fingerlings were supplied by Exmoor Trout Farm, North Molton, Devon, UK; mean wt. = 0.96 g; mean total length = 4.4 cm.
- Test type:
- semi-static
- Water media type:
- freshwater
- Limit test:
- no
- Total exposure duration:
- 96 h
- Hardness:
- Water hardness during the test ranged from 280 - 314 mg/L as CaCO3.
- Test temperature:
- Test temperature was 15 – 16 ºC with a 16 h : 8 h light : dark lighting regime.
- pH:
- The pH ranged from 6.8 to 8.5 during the test.
- Dissolved oxygen:
- Dissolved oxygen = 9.4 to 10.5 mg/L for "new" solutions and 7.5 to 9.3 mg/L for "old" solutions.
- Salinity:
- freshwater
- Nominal and measured concentrations:
- Nominal treatment levels were: control, 0.2, 0.7, 2.0, 5.0, 17 and 50 mg/L. Analysis confirmed concentrations at t=0 of 4.3, 7.5 and 9.5 mg/L for the
nominal loading rates of 5.0, 17 and 50 mg/L, respectively. As there were fish mortalities at these loading rates, no further samples were available
for analysis. All media produced at loading rates less than 2mg/L were not analysed because they were below the limit of determination (2.5 mg/L)
of the analytical method. - Details on test conditions:
- 7 fish were placed in each test vessel, which was then sealed with a glass plate, ensuring that all air was excluded. New WAFs for each treatment
were prepared as described above for each daily renewal. Surviving fish were transferred to the vessel containing freshly prepared WAF. The fish
were not fed during the test.
Test temperature was 15 – 16 ºC with a 16 h : 8 h light : dark lighting regime. Dissolved oxygen = 9.4 to 10.5 mg/L for "new" solution and 7.5 to
9.3 mg/L for "old" solution. The pH ranged from 6.8 to 8.5 during the test. Water hardness during the test ranged from 280 - 314 mg/L as CaCO3.
The water used was harder than the preferred range (10 - 250 mg/L) . However, the hardness measured is normal for this laboratory and does
not affect fish survival. - Reference substance (positive control):

Loading rates causing a 50% effect were determined by visual inspection of the data. They are expressed as being within a range bounded by
loading rates that were tested. This is considered more appropriate for test materials that are mixtures of substances of different solubilities
than is an interpolative statistical technique - Sublethal observations / clinical signs:

Description of key information
Hydrocarbons, C9-C10, aromatics, >1% Naphthalene are a combination of Hydrocarbons, C9 Aromatics and Hydrocarbons, C10-C12 Aromatics. Read across data is available for Hydrocarbons, C9 Aromatics and Hydrocarbons, C10-C12 Aromatics and the worst case scenario for each end point has been presented.
The acute toxicity of hydrocarbons, C9 aromatics as measured by mortality to rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) was evaluated in freshwater. Under the conditions of the study, C9 aromatics hydrocarbons produced acute lethal toxicity to Oncorhynchus mykiss at 9.2 mg/L, based on nominal loading of the test substance in water.
Water accommodated fractions of hydrocarbons, C10, aromatics, >1% naphthalene, produced a 96-hour LL50 value between 2 and 5 mg/L with rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss. In a supporting study, water accommodated fractions of hydrocarbons, C10, aromatics, >1% naphthalene, produced a 96-hour LL50 value of 14 mg/L with rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss.
This data is used for read across to Hydrocarbons, C9-C10, aromatics, >1% Naphthalene.

Additional information
Water accommodated fractions of hydrocarbons, C9, aromatics, produced a 96-hour LL50 value of 9.2 mg/L with rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss.
Water accommodated fractions of hydrocarbons, C10, aromatics, >1% naphthalene, produced a 96-hour LL50 value between 2 and 5 mg/L with rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss.
Hydrocarbons, C9-C10, aromatics, >1% Naphthalene is a hydrocarbon UVCB that, based on available read across data, poses an acute aquatic hazard. The hydrocarbon block method is used for environmental risk assessment (see REACH guidance, R7, app.13-1). Aquatic PNECs for hydrocarbon blocks have been derived using the HC5 statistical extrapolation method and the target lipid model using representative structures. See Product Library tab in PETRORISK spreadsheet attached to Section 13 of the dossier. Given the large database of freshwater organisms included in the target lipid model, an assessment factor of one has been applied to the HC5.
