Additional information
Based on the various data for the read across chemical (915-67-3), and (4548-53-2) which was structually and chemically more similar to the target chemical (7-Hydroxy-8- (4-sulpho-1-naphthyl) azo) naphtha- alene-1,3-disulphonato(3-))aluminium (15876-47-8)l various studies has been reviewed to check the toxic nature of the target chemical on the growth and other activity of the aquatic life:
In the first weight of evidence study for RA chemical 2,7-Naphthalenedisulfonic acid, 3-hydroxy- 4-[(4-sulfo-1-naphthalenyl), sodium salt (Amaranth dye) (915-67-3), ABITEC lab report, 2016. Freshwater algal growth inhibition test was carried out on Desmodesmus subspicatus with the substance 2,7-Naphthalenedi- sulfonic acid, 3-hydroxy-4-[(4-sulfo- 1-naphthal - enyl), sodium salt (Amaranth dye) according to OECD Guideline 201. The test substance was dissolved in OECD growth medium and tested at the concentrations 0, 12.5, 25, 50, 100, 200 mg/L. Effects on the growth rate of the organism were studied. The effective concentration (ErC50) for the test substance, 2,7-Naphthalen -edisulfonic acid, 3-hydroxy-4-[(4-sulfo-1- -naphthalenyl), sodium salt, in Desmodesmus subspicatus was determined to be 356.2 mg/L. This value indicates that the substance is likely to be non-hazardous to aquatic algae and cannot be classified as toxic as per the CLP criteria.
Similarly in the second experimental weight of evidence study for RA chemical Disodium 3-[(2,4-dimethyl-5-sulphonatophenyl) azo]-4-hydroxy naphthalene-1-sulphonate (4548-53-2) ABITEC report, 2016. Freshwater algal growth inhibition test was carried out on Desmodesmus subspicatus with the substance Disodium 3-[(2,4-dimethyl -5-sulphonatophenyl) azo]-4-hydroxynaphthalene-1-sulphonate according to OECD Guideline 201. The test substance was dissolved in OECD growth medium and tested at the concentrations 0, 0, 12.5, 25, 50, 100 and 200 mg/L. Effects on the growth rate of the organism were studied. The median effective concentration (ErC50) for the test substance, Disodium 3-[(2,4-dimethyl-5-sulphonatophenyl)azo]-4-hydroxynaphthalene-1-sulphonate, in Desmodesmus subspicatus was determined to be 276.1 mg/L. Based on this ErC50 value and after comparing with CLP criteria for aquatic classification of the substance it is concluded that the substance Disodium 3-[(2,4-dimethyl-5-sulphonatophenyl)azo]-4-hydroxynaphthalene-1-sulphonate does not exhibit toxicity to aquatic algae (Desmodesmus subspicatus).
Based on the above RA cas which was structually and chemically more similar to the target chemical data obtain from various databases, from the sources it was concluded that the (7-Hydroxy-8-((4-sulpho-1-naphthyl) azo) naphtha- alene-1,3-disulphonato(3-)) aluminium does not exhibit toxicity to aquatic algae and cyanobacteria. Hence the test chemical is not likely to classify as a toxic as per the criteria mentioned in CLP regulation.
