Conclusions:

Based on the prediction done using the OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.4 with log kow as the primary descriptor and considering the closest read across substances, the toxicity on aquatic algae was predicted 2-amino-5-acetamidobenzene-1-sulfonic acid (CAS: 96-78-6). Effect concentration i.e EC50 value was estimated to be 117.56 mg/l for Desmodesmus subspicatus (previous name: Scenedesmus subspicatus) for 72 hrs duration. It was concluded that the 2-amino-5-acetamidobenzene-1-sulfonic acid (CAS: 96-78-6) was likely to be not toxic to aquatic algae, hence it can be considered to be “not Classified” as per the CLP classification criteria for aquatic environment.

Additional information

Following studies includes predicted data and experimental data of target chemical and stucturally similar read across to conclude the

2-amino-5-acetamidobenzene-1-sulfonic acid (CAS: 96-78-6) toxicity towards aquatic algae is summarized as below:

Based on the prediction done using the OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.4 with log kow as the primary descriptor and considering the closest read across substances, the toxicity on aquatic algae was predicted 2-amino-5-acetamidobenzene-1-sulfonic acid (CAS: 96-78-6). Effect concentration i.e EC50 value was estimated to be 117.56 mg/l for Desmodesmus subspicatus (previous name: Scenedesmus subspicatus) for 72 hrs duration. It was concluded that the 2-amino-5-acetamidobenzene-1-sulfonic acid (CAS: 96-78-6) was likely to be not toxic to aquatic algae, hence it can be considered to be “not Classified” as per the CLP classification criteria for aquatic environment.

The above predicted data is supported by the experimental syudy of stucturally similar read across 4-amino-3-methylbenzenesulfonic acid; 3 - methylsulphanilic acid ( CAS: 98 -33 -9) from ABITEC Lab. 2017, indicates that the Freshwater algal growth inhibition test was carried out on Desmodesmus subspicatus with the substance 4-amino-3- methylbenzenesul- fonic acid according to OECD Guideline 201.

The test substance was dissolved in OECD growth medium and tested at the concentrations 0, 0, 30, 45, 67, 100, 150 mg/L. Effects on the growth rate of the organism were studied. The median effective concentration (EC50) for the test substance 4-amino-3-methylbenzene- sulfonic acid, in Desmodesmus subspicatus was determined to be 110.6 mg/L

This value indicates that the substance is likely to be non-hazardous to aquatic algae.

Similar study of another stucturally similar read across 2,4-diaminobenzenesulfonic acid (CAS: 88-63-1) from ABITEC Lab. 2017, indicates that the Short term toxicity study to algae was performed according to the OECD guideline 201 in a static system.

The test substance was dissolved in OECD growth medium and tested at the concentrations 0, 0, 30, 45, 67, 100, 150 mg/L. Effects on the growth rate of the organism were studied. The median effective concentration (EC50) for the test substance 2,4-diaminobenzenesulfonic acid in Desmodesmus subspicatus is 110.0 mg/L on the basis of effects on growth rate in a 72 hour study. It can be concluded from the value  that the 2,4-diaminobenzenesulfonic acid is not toxic to the aquatic environment.

Thus based on the effect concentrations which is in the range 110.0 mg/l to 117.56 mg/Lgive the conclusion that test substance 2-amino-5-acetamidobenzene-1-sulfonic acid (CAS: 96-78-6) was likely to be not toxic to aquatic algae at environmentally relevant concentrations and applying the weight of evidence approach it can be considered to be“not classified”as per the CLP classification criteria.
