Executive summary:

Based on the prediction done using the OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3 with log kow as the primary descriptor and considering the eight closest read across substances, toxicity on Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata (previous names: Raphidocelis subcapitata, Selenastrum capricornutum) was predicted for4706 -78 -9 (Potassium dodecyl sulfate).The EC50 value was estimated to be 130.39 mg/l when Potassium dodecyl sulfate exposed to Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata (previous names: Raphidocelis subcapitata, Selenastrum capricornutum) for 72hrs.

Additional information

Based on the various experimental data and prediction data for the target chemical and read across chemicals have been reviewed to determine the toxic nature of target chemical Potassium dodecyl sulfate (4706-78-9) on the growth of algae. The studies are as mentioned below:

 

In the first weight of evidence study according to the QSAR toolbox for Potassium dodecyl sulfate (4706-78-9), Based on the prediction done using the OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3 with log kow as the primary descriptor and considering the eight closest read across substances, toxicity on Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata (previous names: Raphidocelis subcapitata, Selenastrum capricornutum) was predicted for 4706 -78 -9 (Potassium dodecyl sulfate).The EC50 value was estimated to be 130.39 mg/l when Potassium dodecyl sulfate exposed to Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata (previous names: Raphidocelis subcapitata, Selenastrum capricornutum) for 72hrs.

 

In another weight of evidence study for read across chemical which support QSAR classification was decane (124-18-5) from ecotox 2017, Evaluation of short term toxicity of decane on the growth of Skeletonema costatumon for 96 hrs. Based on growth inhibition of Chlorophyll A concentration of Skeletonema costatum by the exposure of decane the EC50 was 500mg/l. Based on the EC50 value chemical consider as nontoxic to diatoms and consider as not classified as per the CLP classification criteria.

 

Based on the data obtain from various databases ecotox, QSAR toolbox version 3.3 for target chemicals Potassium dodecyl sulfate (4706-78-9) and RA chemical decane (124-18-5), Potassium dodecyl sulfate (4706-78-9) was not toxic to the daphnia magna and it was consider as not classified as per the CLP classification criteria.
