Reference
Endpoint:
short-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates
Type of information:
read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
key study
Justification for type of information:
Please refer to the analogue justification attached to IUCLID section 13.
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
read-across source
Duration:
48 h
Dose descriptor:
EC50
Effect conc.:
943 mg/L
Nominal / measured:
nominal
Conc. based on:
test mat.
Basis for effect:
mobility
Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
EC50 (48 h) = 943 mg/L for D. magna (OECD 202)
Executive summary:

No data are available on the toxicity of sodium anisate (CAS No. 536-45-8) to Daphnia magna. Therefore data from the analogue substance were used as read across.

The acute toxicity of the test item to aquatic invertebrates was investigated in a study by Kamaya et al. (2005). Daphnia magna was exposed for 48 hours to the test material at nominal concentrations of 2 (304.3 mg/L) to 12 mmol/L (1825.8 mg/L). Samples from all concentrations and the control was checked before and after (48 h) exposure experiments by the UV spectra (400–200 nm). The EC50 (48 h) was determined at 943 mg/L.

Additional information

No data are available on the on the toxicity of sodium anisate (CAS No. 536-45-8) to aquatic invertebrates. Therefore data from the analogue substance p-anisic-acid (CAS No. 100-09-4) were used for read across. This read-across is in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 Annex XI, 1.5. In this case of read-across, the best suited (highest degree of structural similarity, nearest physico-chemical properties) read-across substance was used for the assessment. This read-across is justified in within the analogue justification in IUCLID Section 13.
