The biodegradability of the substance was calculated using seven different models such as Linear Model, Non-Linear Model, Ultimate Biodegradation Timeframe, Primary Biodegradation Timeframe, MITI Linear Model, MITI Non-Linear Model and Anaerobic Model (called as Biowin 1-7, respectively) of the BIOWIN v4.10 software. The results indicate that chemical  2-Naphthalenol, 1-[[2-methyl- 4-[(2-methylphenyl)azo]phenyl]azo]-, ar-styrenated is expected to be not readily biodegradable.

Second study was experimental study done from authoritative database (HSDB, 2017) for structurally similar read across chemical in this study the test chemical showed 0.0% biodegradation by considering BOD as parameter in 5 days, and by taking sewage as inoculums. So it is concluded that read across chemical disodium 6-hydroxy-5-[(4-sulfonatophenyl)diazenyl]naphthalene-2-sulfonate is not readily biodegradable.

Next supporting weight of evidence study was also experimental study done from authoritative database (J check, 2017) in this study test chemical was subjected to biodegradation test by taking sludge as inoculums at 30 mg/L concentration. Biodegradation was analysed by using BOD parameter. The initial concentration of read across chemical was 100 mg/L. After 2 weeks (14 days) test chemical showed 0 % biodegradability by BOD parameter and by taking activated sludge as inoculumin 14 days. on the basis of percent degradability it is concluded that test chemical  is not readily biodegradable.

Last supporting weight of evidence study was also experimental study done from UERL laboratory in this study biodegradation of test chemical was determined by using 28-days Manometric respirometry test following the OECD guideline 301 F. The test system included control, test item and reference item. The concentration of read across and reference item (Sodium Benzoate) chosen for the study was 20 mg/l and 30 mg/l, while that of inoculum was 10ml/L. ThOD (Theoretical oxygen demand) of test and reference item was determined by calculation. % Degradation was calculated using the values of BOD and ThOD for test item and reference item. The BOD28 value of test chemical was observed to be 0.050mgO2/mg. ThOD was calculated as 1.088 mgO2/mg. Accordingly, the % degradation of the read across item after 28 days of incubation at 20 ± 1°C according to manometric respirometry test was determined to be 4.596 %. Based on the results, the test chemical, under the test conditions, was considered to be not readily biodegradable at 20 ± 1°C over a period of 28 days.

Next weight of evidence study was done from authoritative databasein this study the Bioaccumulation experiment was conducted for 6 weeks for determination the bioconcentration factor (BCF) of test chemical chemical on test organism Cyprinus carpio. 

The vehicle used in the study was HCO-40, Crystal sugar, Concentration of vehicle: 1st Concentration area: HCO-40 14 ppm(w/v), Crystal sugar 14 ppm(w/v), 2nd Concentration area: HCO-40 1.4 ppm(w/v) Crystal sugar 1.4 ppm(w/v)

Recovery ratio: Test water : 1st concentration area : 96.1 %, 2nd concentration area : 95.4 %, Fish : 79.8 %, - Limit of detection : Fish : 0.25 ppm

The Nominal concentrations used in the study was 1st Concentration area: 0.7 mg/L(w/v), 2nd Concentration area: 0.07 mg/L (w/v)and Range finding study was carried out on Rice fish (Oryzias latipes) TLm(48h>= 420 ppm(w/v).

In first weight of evidence study the KOCWIN model (v2.00) of Estimation Programs Interface (EPI Suite, 2017) was used to predict the soil adsorption coefficient i.e Koc value of test chemical 2-Naphthalenol, 1-[[2-methyl-4-[(2-methylphenyl)azo]phenyl]azo]-, ar-styrenated (CAS No. 85203 -90 -3). The soil adsorption coefficient i.e Koc value of 2-Naphthalenol, 1-[[2-methyl-4-[(2-methyl phenyl)azo]phenyl]azo]-, ar-styrenated was estimated to be 10000000000 L/kg (log Koc=10.6168)  by means of MCI method (at 25 deg C). This Koc value indicates that the substance 2-Naphthalenol, 1-[[2-methyl-4-[(2-methylphenyl)azo]phenyl]azo]-, ar-styrenated has a very strong sorption to soil and sediment and therefore have negligible migration potential to ground water.

Next study was experimental study for read across chemical done from Screening Assessment for the Challenge in this study the Log Koc values for test chemical are based on calculations by Baughman and Perenich (1988) using a range of measured solubility for commercial dyes and an assumed melting point of 200 deg.

Third study was also experimental study done from UERL laboratory in this study the adsorption coefficient Koc in soil and in sewage sludge of test chemical  was determined by the Reverse Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatographic method. The reference substances were chosen according to estimated Koc range of the read across substance and generalized calibration graph was prepared. The reference substances were Phenol, Aniline, Nitrobenzene, naphthalene, Phenanthrene and DDT were chosen having Koc value ranging from 1.32 to 5.63. The Log Koc value of test chemical was determined to be 3.679 dimensionless at 25°C. Based on the value of log Koc it is concluded that this test chemical has strong sorption to soil and sediments.

Last weight of evidence study was also experimental study done from peer reviewed journal in this study the adsorption coefficient of test chemical was studied by using Freundlich adsorption isotherm. The aim of the investigation is to determine the adsorption behavior of azo dyes in aqueous solution on DG06, GSE17200, and GSE17201 soils using C. I. Acid Red 14. GSE17200 and GSE17201 soils were obtained from Bayer Landwirtschaftszentrum, Monheim, Germany. DG06 soil was sampled in the surface layers (0– 20 cm) located in Dalian, Liaoning Province, China.

Three kinds of soils were air-dried, sieved to 2 mm and stored in dark at a room temperature (20 ±1°C). The effect of initial dye concentration on the dye adsorption capacity was investigated between 100 and 800 mg/L at 20 ± 0.5°C. The dye uptake efficiencies of AR14 on DG06, GSE17200, and GSE17201 soils are high, and they are 21.9%, 10.4%, and 8.0%, respectively. By using Freundlich adsorption isotherm, Kf(Freundlich Constants)values were found to be 7.1*10-3 L/mg, 4.8*10-3L/mg, and 3.2*10-3L/mg forDG06, GSE17200, and GSE17201 soils respectively indicating high adsorption capacity of test chemical chemical
