- Executive summary:
Florhydral is tested in a long-term Daphnia test according to OECD TG 211. The nominal concentrations were 0.038, 0.12, 0.38, 1.2 and 3.8 mg/l. The measured concentrations were lower than nominal and the concentrations in the test vessels with food were lower than without food. Therefore it was assumed that the substance adsorbed to the Daphnia feed and the exposure to Daphnia was via the water phase and via feed. In view of these two exposure routes it was considered justified to calculate the concentrations from the vessels without feed. The concentrations were measured as follows: The sum of the sixfold geometric mean of the two day period (day 12-14) plus the threefold geometric mean of the three days period (day 16-19) divided by 9. The nominal 1.2 and 3.8 mg/l were actual 0.71 and 2.6 mg/l. respectively. Temperature (20 -22oC), pH (7.5 -7.9) and dissolved oxygen (at least 8 mg/l) were in the set boundaries. Survival was not affected in the adult animals. At all concentration survival was >=80% (the 80% survival was found in the control). The total number of juveniles produced for all Daphnia at a certain concentration was not affected up to 0.71 mg/l (nominal 1.2) and resulted in 80 -100% of the number that were produced in the control. At the highest concentration 2.6 the total number was decreased to 12.6%. The number of juveniles per adult was similar (60 -70) in all concentrations up to 0.71 mg/l and decreased to 9 at the highest concentration: 2.6 mg/l. Therefore the NOEC for reproduction (most sensitive endpoint) was 0.71 mg/l. The EC50 for reproduction was 1.7 mg/l.

Additional information
For Floralozone the long-term Daphnia can be derived from the acute chronic ratio form Florhydral. The acute Daphnia toxicity is presented in the short-term section. The long-term Daphnia toxicity of Florhydral will be presented first. Thereafter the justification for read across and using the acute chronic ratio will be presented.
Florhydral long-term Daphnia study
Florhydral is tested in a long-term Daphnia test according to OECD TG 211. The nominal concentrations were 0.038, 0.12, 0.38, 1.2 and 3.8 mg/l. The measured concentrations were lower than nominal and the concentrations in the test vessels with food were lower than without food. Therefore it was assumed that the substance adsorbed to the Daphnia feed and the exposure to Daphnia was via the water phase and via feed. In view of these two exposure routes it was considered justified to calculate the concentrations from the vessels without feed. The concentrations were measured as follows: The sum of the sixfold geometric mean of the two day period (day 12-14) plus the threefold geometric mean of the three days period (day 16-19) divided by 9. The nominal 1.2 and 3.8 mg/l were actual 0.71 and 2.6 mg/l. respectively. Temperature (20 -22oC), pH (7.5 -7.9) and dissolved oxygen (at least 8 mg/l) were in the set boundaries. Survival was not affected in the adult animals. At all concentration survival was >=80% (the 80% survival was found in the control). The total number of juveniles produced for all Daphnia at a certain concentration was not affected up to 0.71 mg/l (nominal 1.2) and resulted in 80 -100% of the number that were produced in the control. At the highest concentration 2.6 the total number was decreased to 12.6%. The number of juveniles per adult was similar (60 -70) in all concentrations up to 0.71 mg/l and decreased to 9 at the highest concentration: 2.6 mg/l. Therefore the NOEC for reproduction (most sensitive endpoint) was 0.71 mg/l. The EC50 for reproduction was 1.7 mg/l.
Floralozone (Cas no 67634-15-5) and its long-term Daphnia toxicity using the Acute Chronic ratio of the analogue Florhydral (125109-85-5)
Introduction and hypothesis for the analogue approach
Floralozone is aphenyl-propyl aldehyde. For this substance acute aquatic toxicity information is available and chronic algae information. Further long-term Daphnia information is needed to present safe use for the terrestrial environment using the Equilibrium Partition Method. In accordance with Article 13 of REACH,lacking information can be generated by means of applying alternative methods such asin vitrotests, QSARs, grouping and read-across. For assessing the long term Daphnia toxicity for Floralozone the analogue approach and the analogue acute chronic ratio is selected.
Hypothesis: The long term Daphnia NOEC for Floralozone can be derived from its acute Daphnia value (0.87 mg/l) and dividing this value by the Daphnia acute chronic ratio of Florhydral (2.9), resulting in a NOEC for Floralozone of 0.3 mg/l.
Available experimental information:The target Floralozone and the source Florhydral both have aquatic toxicity for algae, Daphnia and fish according to OECD TG 201, 202 and 203, respectively. The acute Daphnia EC50s of Floralozone and Florhydral are 0.87 and 2 mg/l, respectively. Florhydral (source) also has a NOEC from a long-term Daphnia according to OECD TG 211, Kl1 of 0.7 mg/l. The acute chronic ratio of Florhydral is 2.9 (EC50 of 2/NOEC of 0.7 mg/l) and therefore the NOEC of Floralozone is 0.3 mg/l (EC50 / 2.9 (acute chronic ratio of Florhydral).
Target chemical and source chemical(s)
Chemical structures of the target chemical and the source chemical are shown in the data matrix. Also physico-chemical properties thought relevant for aquatic toxicity are listed in there.
Purity / Impurities
The purity and impurities of the target chemical do not indicate other aquatic toxic potential and/or the acute/chronic ratio. The impurities are all below < 10%.
Analogue approach justification
According to Annex XI 1.5 read across can be used to replace testing when the similarity can be based on a common backbone and a common functional group. When using read across the result derived should be applicable for C&L and/or risk assessment and it should be presented with adequate and reliable documentation.
Analogue selection:Florhydral is selected as an analogue because of similarities in chemical structure for which long-term Daphna information is available.
Structural similarities and differences:The target and the source chemicals both have a phenyl propyl backbone to which an aldehyde functional group is attached. Floralozone has a quaternary carbon to which the aldehyde is attached while Florhydral has a secondary carbon at the same spot. The phenyl group is substituted with an ethyl group in Floralozone at the para or ortho-position, while Florhydral has an isopropyl group attached to the phenyl group at the meta-position.
Bioavailability:The source chemical Floralozone likely has a slightly higher bioavailability compared to Florhydral based on the measured log Kow (4 and 3.1, respectively) and the slightly lower acute Daphnia toxicity value (0.87 and 2 mg/l). The water solubility in the aquatic toxicity test of Floralozone is also somewhat lower compared to Florhydral because for Floralozone the algae and fish toxicity are above the water solubility while for Florhydral these toxicity values are between 1-10 mg/l. Other characteristics are very similar. The molecular weight of both substances is 190. They are both liquids. Floralozone and Florhydral have similar vapour pressures 0.43 and 0.65, respectively. The position of the Floralozone’s ethyl group on the ring versus the isopropyl group of Florhydral does not change the bioavailability significantly (similar log Kow are predicted in ECOSAR: 3.9).
Mode of Action:Floralozone and Florhydral have a similar backbone and similar aldehyde functional group, which will present a similar mode of action. The quaternary carbon of Floralozone versus the secondary carbon attached at the aldehyde group is not expected to significantly change the reactivity of the aldehyde. This is supported when calculating the pKa of the respective acids of these substances. Floralozone has a pKa of 4.62 and Florhydral of 4.64 (SPARC calculations). The difference in log Kow between these two cannot fully explain the slightly higher toxicity of Floralozone (0.87 versus 2 mg/l). Therefore it is considered more appropriate to apply the acute chronic ratio found for Florhydral to Floralozone.
Uncertainty of the prediction: There are two acute Daphnia results for Florhydral. One from 1991 and one from 2016: 5.48 and 2 mg/l, respectively. Limited analytics are done in the first study and therefore the second study with an EC50 of 2 mg/l better reflects the actual EC50. This latter EC50 of Florhydral is also closer to the 0.87 mg/l of Floralozone. There are no other remaining uncertainties.
Data matrix
The relevant information on physico-chemical properties and toxicological characteristics are presented in the data matrix below).
Conclusions per endpoint
When using read across the result derived should be applicable for C&L and/or risk assessment and be presented with adequate and reliable documentation. Floralozone and Florhydral have a similar backbone and similar functional group and therefore the acute chronic ratio for Daphnia of Florhydral can be applied to Floralozone. The EC50 Daphnia of Florhydral is 2 and its long-term NOEC is 0.7 mg/l resulting in acute chronic ratio of 2.9. Floralozone has an EC50 Daphnia of 0.87 mg/l and dividing this value with the acute chronic ratio the long-term NOEC for Floralozone is 0.3 mg/l.
Final conclusion: Floralozone has a long-term Daphnia NOEC of 0.3 mg/l.
