Executive summary:

Aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of test chemical on the mobility of aquatic invertevbrates. Test conducted for 48 hrs. The effective concentration (EC50) value of test chemical in aquatic invertebrate (Daphnia magna) in a 48 hr study on the basis of mobility effect was observed to be 4.6 mg/L.

Description of key information

Aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of test chemical on the mobility of aquatic invertevbrate. Test conducted for 48 hrs. The effective concentration (EC50) value of test chemical in aquatic invertebrate (Daphnia magna) in a 48 hr study on the basis of mobility effect was observed to be 4.6 mg/L. The test chemical is highly insloluble in water the obtained EC50 value is much higher than the solubility of test chemical. Thus, by considering the solubility, test chemical cannot be toxic at its solubility limit.

 

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Fresh water invertebrates

Additional information

Data available for test chemicals including structurally and functionally similar read across chemical, study has been reviewed to determine the short term toxicity of the test chemical on the growth and mobility of daphnia magna. The studies are as mentioned below:

 

Aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of test chemical on the mobility of aquatic invertevbrate. Test conducted for 48 hrs. The effective concentration (EC50) value of test chemical in aquatic invertebrate (Daphnia magna) in a 48 hr study on the basis of mobility effect was observed to be 4.6 mg/L. The test chemical is highly insloluble in water the obtained EC50 value is much higher than the solubility of test chemical. Thus, by considering the solubility, test chemical cannot be toxic at its solubility limit.

 

 

Above study was supported by the second data from peer reviewed journal. Short term toxicity of test chemical were studied was observing the effect of test chemical on the intoxication of freshwater aquatic invertebrate. 10 neonates <24h old Daphnia pulex in each test chamber not fed during the test were used in the study. Test conducted under the static system for 48 hrs. Based on the intoxication of Daphnia pulex after the exposure of 48 hrs, the EC50 was observed to 1.44 mg/l. The test chemical is highly insloluble in water the obtained EC50 value is much higher than the solubility of test chemical. Thus, by considering the solubility, test chemical cannot be toxic at its solubility limit.

 

 

Thus based on the above results, chemical consider to be non toxic at its maximum solubility limit
