Endpoint:
short-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates
Type of information:
read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
weight of evidence
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
study well documented, meets generally accepted scientific principles, acceptable for assessment
Justification for type of information:
C12 LAS; Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate (LAS)) is a very close analogue of Calcium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (CAS No 26264-06-2, EC Number; 247-557-8) ) and read-across is valid.
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
read-across source
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The effects of four concentrations of dodecyl benzene sulfonate at four salinity levels on adult Tisbe bulbisetosa were studied in laboratory experiments. The DBS solutions were analysed by the methylene method to control their stability with time.
The stock solution has been prepared by dissolving 100 mg of pure DBS to 100 mL of distilled water. Test solutions for this test have been obtained both by diluting 3, 6, 9, 12 mL of the stock solution in filtered seawater at a determined level of salinity to 1000 mL, and by diluting the fixed amount stock solution in seawater of 9, 12, 18, 36‰ salinity.
