Description of key information

The aquatic toxicity was predicted by a QSAR, the PETROTOX v4.0 computer model. PETROTOX is a well-documented and peer reviewed model that is widely used across the chemicals industry. The substances of this category fit within the criteria of the model and there are no reservations about the validity of the model runs. The predicted LL50 values for Activated Sludge ranged from 60.5 to 273 mg/L. The predicted EL10 values for Activated Sludge ranged from 9.38 to 28.3 mg/L.
 

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

 
The PETROTOX v4.0 model combines a partitioning model used to calculate the aqueous concentration of hydrocarbon constituents with the Target Lipid Model used to calculate acute and chronic toxicity of non-polar narcotic chemicals. PETROTOX computes toxicity based on the summation of the aqueous-phase concentrations of hydrocarbon block(s) that represent a hydrocarbon substance and membrane-water partition coefficients (KMW) that describe the partitioning of the hydrocarbons between the water and organism.
