Additional information
Summarized result for the toxicity of test chemical and structurally and functionally similar read across chemicals on the mortality of fishes were reviewed and mention as below:
Short term aquatic toxicity study (96 hrs) was conducted to assess the toxic effects of the test compound. The study was conducted according to the OECD guideline 203 on Zebra fish (Danio rerio) in a fresh water static system at a nominal concentration level of 0.8 mg/L, 1.76 mg/L, 3.87 mg/L, 8.51 mg/L for 96 hrs. Observations for mortality, visible symptoms, pH, Temperature, dissolved oxygen content were recorded after 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours and 96 hours after the start of the experiment. No mortality was recorded in any of the concentration upto 8.51 mg/l and the fishes were freely swimming without showing any abnormal symptoms. No mortalities were found in the control aquaria. Based on nominal concentrations, experimental no lethal concentration [LC-0 (96 h)] for the test chemical on Danio rerio was observed to be at 8.51 mg/L. Mortality were observed at the concentration > 18.72 mg/l. Thus based on the LC50 value, chemical consider to be toxic and classified as aquatic chronic 3 as per the CLP classification criteria.
Similarly in the second data for read across chemical the acute toxicity of industrial organic chemicals including test chemical to the fathead minnow was determined for 96 hrs. Concentrations were determined by analytical methods utilizing direct aqueous injection and solvent extraction gas chromatographic (GC) techniques, and high pressure liquid chromatographic (HPLC) analyses. GC analyses were performed on a Hewlett-Packard model 5730A gas chromatograph equipped with flame ionization and electron capture detectors. Tests were conducted in diluters with continuous-flow water delivery and toxicant introduction systems. Each of two diluters for binary tests contained a control, and four treatment levels in duplicate at each of seven mixture ratios were distributed between the diluters. This gave a total of 28 treatments in duplicate plus two controls. The seven ratios used to define the binary isobole diagrams were 5:0, 4:1, 2:1, 1:1, 1:2, 1:4, and 0:5. The diluter for equitoxic multiple chemical tests had one control and five single treatment levels. The toxicant concentrations followed a geometric series (0.8 dilution factor) for all tests. The dilution water was fed from a main head tank to a similar tank over each diluter. The water in the head tanks was vigorously aerated to remove excess dissolved gases. The toxicant solutions for binary tests were delivered by FMI metering pumps from separate stock bottles or chemical 'saturators' into a chamber which was designed to dilute each stock solution independently before combining them in mixtures. The toxicant concentrations in each test treatment were thus controlled separately. Test chambers were illuminated with wide spectrum fluorescent bulbs for 16 h daily. This included a 30-rain gradual brightening and dimming period with incandescent light to simulate dawn and dusk. The light intensity at the test water surface ranged from 22 to 38 lumens/ sq ft. 95% confidence intervals were computed by the Trimmed Spearman-Karber Method or a log-probit method. From experimental result the the lethal concentration in 96 hrs exposure period was observed to be 45.9 mg/l with 95% confidence limit (43.5-48.4 mg/l).Thus based on the result it is concluded that the test substance is toxic to fish and thus classified in aquatic chronic 3 as per the CLP criteria.
Thus based on the above values, chemical consider to be toxic and classified as aquatic chronic 3 as per the CLP classification criteria.
