Results and discussion

Effect concentrations
Dose descriptor:
EC50
Effect conc.:
27.1 mg/L
Remarks on result:
other: Calculated by OECD Toolbox v.3.1

Any other information on results incl. tables

Toxicity of the target chemical (27.1 mg/L) is predicted from category members using read-across based on 4 values within the range 3.75 - 160 mg/L from 4 nearest neighbours compared by prediction descriptors. Category members are single chemicals or mixtures and are selected based on the profile of the target chemical.

Read-across from category members.

The target chemical FALLS within applicability domain.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
A EC50 of 27.1 mg/L Pseudokirchnerella subcapitata has been predicted.
