Conclusions:

Based on the prediction done using the OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3 with log kow as the primary descriptor and considering the closest read across substances, the toxicity on aquatic invertebrate predicted for Resin acids and Rosin acids, ammonium salts (CAS: 68649-89-8). Effect concentration i.e EC50 value estimated to be 197.148 mg/l for Daphnia magna for 48 hrs duration. It can be concluded that the Resin acids and Rosin acids, ammonium salts (CAS: 68649-89-8) is likely to be not toxic to aquatic invertebrate, hence it can be considered to be “not classified” as per the CLP classification criteria for aquatic environment.

Additional information

Following studies include the predicted data and experimental study for the target chemical and structurally similar read across to conclude the toxicity extent of Resin acids and Rosin acids, ammonium salts (CAS: 68649-89-8) towards aquatic invertebrate is summarized as follows:

 

Based on the prediction done using the OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3 with log kow as the primary descriptor and considering the closest read across substances, the toxicity on aquatic invertebrate predicted for Resin acids and Rosin acids, ammonium salts (CAS: 68649-89-8). Effect concentration i.e EC50 value estimated to be 197.148 mg/l for Daphnia magna for 48 hrs duration. It can be concluded that the Resin acids and Rosin acids, ammonium salts (CAS: 68649-89-8) is likely to be not toxic to aquatic invertebrate, hence it can be considered to be“not classified”as per the CLP classification criteria for aquatic environment.

 

Similar estimation for the target chemical was done by using EPI suite, ECOSAR version 1.1, the LC50 value for short term toxicity to daphnia magna was predicted to be 1357.75 mg/l for Resin acids and Rosin acids, ammonium salts in 48 hrs. Based on the LC50 value, it can be concluded that the substance Resin acids and Rosin acids, ammonium salts as not toxic to aquatic invertebrate and thus can be considered“not classified”per the CLP criteria for aquatic environment.

 

Another estimation of EPI suite, ECOSAR version 1.1, the LC50 value for short term toxicity to Mysid was predicted to be 1914.49 mg/l for Resin acids and Rosin acids, ammonium salts in 48 hrs. Based on the LC50 value, it can be concluded that the substance Resin acids and Rosin acids, ammonium salts as not toxic to aquatic invertebrate and thus can be considered“not classified”per the CLP criteria for aquatic environment.

 

Further the above predicted data of target chemical is supported by the experimental data of structurally similar read across chemical Acetic acid (CAS: 64-19-7) from the publication Journal Water Pollution Control Federation 1965, which suggests that the Short-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates test was carried out for 4.167 days under static condition to study the effects of Acetic acid on aquatic invertebrate.

The lethal concentration LC50 to 50% of Daphnia magna is 426 mg/l. mortality effect was measured during the test. It can be concluded from the value that the Acetic acid is not toxic to the aquatic invertebrate and can be considered as“not classified”as per classification for aquatic environment.

 

Thus based on the effect concentrations which is in the range 197.148 mg/l to 1914.49 mg/l give the conclusion that test substance Resin acids and Rosin acids, ammonium salts (CAS: 68649-89-8) was likely to be not toxic to aquatic invertebrate at environmentally relevant concentrations and applying weight of evidence approach it can be considered to be“not classified”as per the CLP classification criteria.
