Additional information

Based on the various experimental for the target chemical study have been reviewed to determine the toxic nature of test chemical on the mobility and growth of aquatic invertebrates. The studies are as mentioned below:

 

In the first key study for the test chemical from authoritative database , determine the toxicity. Study was assess to evaluate the nature of test chemical chemical on the growth of aquatic invertebrates daphnia magna for the exposure of 96 hrs. Study was conducted according to the OECD Guideline 202 (Daphnia sp., Acute Immobilisation Test and Reproduction Test).Test performed under the semi-static condition for the total incubation period of 48 hrs. 100 mL/L vehicle were used for the preparation of 100 ml of test solution. Total amount of test solution was renewed after 24-hour exposure. Chemical tested at various concentrations 0, 0.10, 0.22, 0.46, 1.0, 2.2 mg/L (nominal concentrations) and also on vehicle (100 microl/l). 5 daphnia magna per vessel added and the test repeated 4 times. Room light, 16 hours light / 8 hours dark provided to the test organism.

 

After the exposure of test chemical for 48 hrs effect were observed on the daphnia magna. After 24 hrs, the EC50 was 0.92 mg/l and after 48 hrs the NOEC was determine 0.22 mg/l. The EC50 was determine to be 0.61 mg/l with the 95 % CL of 0.49 - 0.75 mg/L. Based on the EC50, chemical was consider as toxic and classified as aquatic acute 1 and chronic 1 as per the CLP classification criteria.

 

First experimental study was supported by the second supporting study from peer reviewed journal . Study was access to evaluate the toxic nature of test chemical on the growth of daphnia magna for 48 hrs of exposure. Study was conducted according to the OECD guideline 202 (Daphnia sp., Acute Immobilisation Test and Reproduction Test). After the exposure effect were observed. The effect concentration (EC50) was determine to be 0.5 mg/l by the test chemical . Based on the EC50 chemical was consider as toxic and can be consider to be classified as aquatic acute category 1 as per the CLP classification criteria.

 

 

Similarly in the third supporting study for the target chemical from peer reviewed journal . In a 48 hours short team toxicity study, the effect of test material was evaluated on Mysidopsis bahia (mysids). The test substance was introduced by feed in a concentration of 600 mg/L. The reactor was seeded with activated sludge from an industrial wastewater treatment plant treating ethoxylated surfactant. The reactors were operated for 10 weeks except reactor 4 of which operation was terminated after 8 weeks. The results show mortality at 2.2 mg/L. Therefore, LC50 for test material was considered to be 2.2 mg/L when tested on Mysidopsis bahia(mysids). Estimates by probit method and reported as concentration (for untreated product) or a dilettante (for effluents) resulting in death of 50 % of test organisms (LC50). LC50 for test material was determine to be 2.2 mg/l when tested on Mysidopsis bahia (mysids)  for 48 hours. Based on LC50 chemical was consider as toxic and classified as aquatic acute category 2, as per the CLP classification criteria

 

The data from the secondry data source for the target chemical concluded that the chemical was toxic to invertebrates.

Study was assess to evaluate the nature of test chemical on the growth of aquatic invertebrates daphnia magna for the exposure of 96 hrs. As the chemical was treated with the test organism daphnia magna effect were observed (EC50) was determine at 0.51 mg/l. Based on the EC50, chemical was consider as toxic and classified as aquatic acute 1 as per the CLP classification criteria.

 

Another short term toxicity to aquatic invertebrate study was carried out for assessing the effect of test chemical. The study was performed following the principles of the OECD Guideline 202 (Daphnia sp. Acute Immobilisation Test). The test substance was water-insoluble, however, a fine-turbid suspension could be prepared using slightly prewarmed demineralised water (23 C to 25°C). The test substance and prewarmed water were placed into vessels and were shaken manually for 3 minutes. The resulting suspension remained stable even at temperatures of 20°C and could be diluted. The suspensions were not filtered. Note, effects seen at concentration less than SPARC estimated water solubility. The tests reported in this entry used a standard methodology. An additional test was also carried out using a non-standard submergible chamber procedure. Daphnia magna of 6 to 24 hr old (Water flea) obtained from Institut fur Wasser-, Boden-, und Lufthygiene was used as a test organism. Test daphnids (5 test organisms) were exposed to different test chemical concentrations (i.e., 0.178, 0.316, 0.562, 1.00, 1.78 and 3.16 mg/l, respectively) in glass vessels (diameter: 38 mm, height: 60 mm, volume: 50 ml) for a period of 48 hrs. Test conditions involve a temperature of 20°C, hardness of 250 mg CaCO3/l, pH of 7.9 (mean), dissolved oxygen of >80% of maximum saturation and alkalinity of 0.8 mM/l under a photoperiod of 16 hours light/8 hours darkness, white type fluorescent light, respectively. Control was also run simutaneously during the study. All test experiments were performed in 4 replicates. After an exposure period of 48 hrs, the mobility of the test organism was noted. On the basis of effect of test chemical on mobility of test daphnids, the 48 hr NOEC, EC50 and EC100 value was determined to be 0.316, 0.765 and 1.78 mg/l. Based on the result, test chemical was considered as toxic to aquatic invertebrates at environmental relevant concentrations and hence, considered to be classified in aquatic acute category 1 as per the CLP classification criteria.

Based on the experimental data of test chemical ,it can be concluded that the test substance is considered to be toxic and classified in aquatic acute 1 as per the CLP classification criteria.
