Conclusions:

The short term toxicity on aquatic invertebrates was predicted forN,N,N-tributylbutan-1-aminium hydrogen sulfate (CAS no 32503-27-8). EC50 value was estimated to be 156.38mg/L on the basis of mobility for Daphnia magna for 48 hrs duration. Based on this value it can be concluded that theN,N,N-tributylbutan-1-aminium hydrogen sulfate (CAS no 32503-27-8)was considered to be not classified to aquatic invertebrates as per the CLP regulations.

Executive summary:

Based on the prediction done using the OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.4 with log kow as the primary descriptor and considering the five closest read across substances, the short term toxicity on aquatic invertebrates was predicted forN,N,N-tributylbutan-1-aminium hydrogen sulfate (CAS no 32503-27-8). EC50 value was estimated to be 156.38mg/L on the basis of mobility for Daphnia magna for 48 hrs duration. Based on this value it can be concluded that theN,N,N-tributylbutan-1-aminium hydrogen sulfate (CAS no 32503-27-8)was considered to be not classified to aquatic invertebrates as per the CLP regulations.

Additional information

Short term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates was reviewed for N, N, N-tributylbutan-1-aminium hydrogen sulfate (CAS no 32503-27-8) with two predicted data and one experimental report for read across tetrabutylammonium bromide (1643-19-2) are as follows:

Based on the prediction done using the OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3 with log kow as the primary descriptor and considering the five closest read across substances, the short term toxicity on aquatic invertebrates was predicted for N, N, N-tributylbutan-1-aminium hydrogen sulfate (CAS no 32503-27-8). EC50 value was estimated to be 156.38mg/L on the basis of mobility for Daphnia magna for 48 hrs duration.

Another prediction on short-term toxicity of the substance to invertebrate was done using EPI suite, ECOSAR version 1.1, 2017, based on the effects observed in 48 hr exposure. The lethal concentration (LC50) for the substance is estimated to be 1232.557 mg/L.

For the read across substance tetrabutylammonium bromide (CAS: 1643-19-2) by C. Pantani, et. al. (1995), a short term toxicity test (24 h) was undertaken to evaluate the effect of tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBABr) to Echinogammarus tibaldii, a benthic shredder amphipod with an important role in the detritus chain of rivers and streams. Organisms of the species E.tibaldii Pink & Stock (Crustacea, Amphipoda) were collected near the spring of the river Vera. The test was conducted following the guideline of OECD. The definitive tests were carried out in duplicate by adding 20 animals (Mature adult male) in each glass jar containing 250 mL of each precooled and aerated solution.The test carried out in static conditions without oxygenation; the animals were also not fed during experiment. After the experimental period the LC 50 value for tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBABr) (1643 -19 -2) for short term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates was determined to be >2000 mg/l.

On the basis of predicted results for N,N,N-tributylbutan-1-aminium hydrogen sulfate(CAS no 32503-27-8) and its read across, it can be considered that all the above weight of evidences has value greater than 100 mg/l which indicate that N,N,N-tributylbutan-1-aminium hydrogen sulfate (CAS no 32503-27-8) was not likely to be toxic to aquatic invertebrates at environmentally relevant concentrations and can be considered to be not classified as per the criteria of CLP regulation.
