Conclusions:

The short term toxicity on aquatic invertebrates was predicted for4-nitrobenzene-1,3-diamine (5131-58-8). EC50 value was estimated to be 109.41 mg/l for Daphnia magna for 48 hrs duration.On the basis of value 4-nitrobenzene-1,3-diamine (5131-58-8) was considered to be non-toxic to aquatic invertebrates and can be considered to be not classified as per the CLP regulations.

Executive summary:

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 for4-nitrobenzene-1,3-diamine (5131-58-8). EC50 value was estimated to be 109.41 mg/l for Daphnia magna for 48 hrs duration.On the basis of value 4-nitrobenzene-1,3-diamine (5131-58-8) was considered to be non-toxic to aquatic invertebrates and can be considered to be not classified as per the CLP regulations.

Additional information

Short term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates was summaries with two prediction study for 4-nitrobenzene-1,3-diamine (5131-58-8) and two experimental studies with functionally related read across are as follows.

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 for4-nitrobenzene-1,3-diamine (5131-58-8). EC50 value was estimated to be 167.65 mg/l for Daphnia magna for 48 hrs duration.

Based on the prediction done by EPI suite, ECOSAR version 1.1, on the basis of similarity of structure to chemicals for which the aquatic toxicity has been previously measured by structure-activity relationships (SARs) program, the LC 50 value for short term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates was predicted. On the basis of this program, the LC 50 value for short term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates was predicted to be 1249.41 mg/l for 4-nitrobenzene-1,3-diamine in 48 hrs.

Study on read across was performed in 4-amino-N-pyrimidin-2-ylbenzenesulfonamide (68-35-9) from Chemosphere 40 (2000) 723-730 for Daphnia magna for 48 hrs according to the ISO (1989) and OECD (1996) standard procedures. The daphnia magna was culture in beaker with 20 neonates and maintained in specific test conditions. D. magna was cultured in a fully defined medium M7. Stock solutions were prepared by dissolving the appropriate amount of chemical in M7 medium. The pH of the stock solutions was adjusted to 7.5. The test was performed in static condition with 20 neonates less than 24 hrs. The test containers used were 100-ml glass beakers filled with 25 ml of test solution. The test was performed at 21±0.5°C underdark. The mobility of daphnia was observed at 24 and 48 hrs. After the experiment, the EC 50 value for 4-amino-N-pyrimidin-2-ylbenzenesulfonamide (68-35-9) for short term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates was determined to be 221 mg/l.

Study on another read across for Sulfadimethoxine (122-11-2) from Environment International 33 (2007) 370–375 was performed in Daphnia magna for 48 hrs at 199.2–296.8 mg/l concentration range. The test was performed in 6 liter of glass jar and stock solutions were prepared with dimethyl sulfoxide, from which test solutions were prepared with appropriate dilution medium for each test species. After the 48 hrs, the EC 50 value for Sulfadimethoxine (122-11-2) for short term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates was determined to be 248.0 mg/l for 48 hrs. Based on the value, the Sulfadimethoxine(122-11-2) was considered to not toxic to aquatic invertebrates and can be considered to be not classified as per the CLP regulations.

Based on the above predicted data for target and studies of functionally related read across chemicals it can be considered that all the weight of evidence studies supported the classifications and on the basis of that4-nitrobenzene-1,3-diamine (5131-58-8)was considered to be non-toxic to aquatic invertebrates and can be considered to be not classified as per the CLP regulation.
