None

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
The substance was predicted to have an EC50 of 518.374 mg/L to green algae after 96h of exposure, considering it acts as a non-polar narcotic compound.
Executive summary:

Toxicity to green algae was estimated using the ECOSAR v1.11 QSAR model available from the U.S. EPA.

The predicted 96h-EC50 was 518.374 mg/L (neutral organic SAR, baseline toxicity). This value was calculated from an estimated log Kow value (1.874) and the following linear regression:

Log 96h-EC50 (mmol/L) = -0.6922 (log Kow) + 0.9253.

The substance falls within the applicability domain of the model and can therefore be considered as a reliable prediction for acute toxicity (96h-EC50) to algae considering it acts as a non-polar narcotic compound (MoA 1). Therefore, this endpoint value can be considered valid for sole use within a calculation method in order to determine toxicity of UVCB substances.

Executive summary:

Toxicity to green algae was estimated using the ECOSAR v1.11 QSAR model available from the U.S. EPA.

The predicted 96h-EC50 was 238.437 mg/L (neutral organic SAR, baseline toxicity). This value was calculated from an estimated log Kow value (1.055) and the following linear regression:

Log 96h-EC50 (mmol/L) = -0.6922 (log Kow) + 0.9253.

The substance falls within the applicability domain of the model and can therefore be considered as a reliable prediction for acute toxicity (96h-EC50) to algae considering it acts as a non-polar narcotic compound (MoA 1). Therefore, this endpoint value can be considered valid for sole use within a calculation method in order to determine toxicity of UVCB substances.

Description of key information

Constituent approach, additivity formula:

96h-EC50 for freshwater algae = 2.30 mg/L.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

EC50 for freshwater algae:
2.3 mg/L

Additional information

Since the substance has a well-defined composition, its acute toxicity to algae can be estimated using adequate toxicity data of major constituents. For that endpoint, the estimation of the toxicity of the mixture was based on the individual toxicities of each major constituent using typical percentages of these compounds. Seven constituents were taken into account for this assessment, representing 98.23% of the mixture. The toxicity of these constituents has been predicted using ECOSAR v1.11 from EPISUITE tool, considering they act as non-polar narcotic compounds (neutral organic SAR, baseline toxicity). These data are summarized in the table 3 of the document attached in section 13.2: "data on constituents for e-fate and ecotox endpoints".

Then, the acute toxicity of the susbtance to algae was estimated using the following additivity formula, as recommended in the Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP):

∑ Ci / L(E)C50m = ∑ (Ci / L(E)C50i)

Where,

Ci = concentration of component i (weight percentage);

L(E)C50i = LC50 or EC50 for component i, in mg/L;

L(E)C50m = L(E)C50 of the part of the mixture with test data;

 

The 96h-EC50m value for the substance was estimated to be 2.30 mg/L for freshwater algae for a typical mixture.
