Justification for type of information:

Executive summary: The 72h acute algae ErC50 for the neutral organic substance Peomosa (2-(2-methylphenyl)ethanol) is predicted to be 39.47 mg/L based on the ECOSAR SAR for neutral organics using a partition coefficient (Log Kow) of 2.11, a molecular weight (MW) of 136.19 and the equation: 96h ErC50(mg/L) = MW x 10^ (-0.6922 Log Kow + 0.9253). Peomosa is in the applicability domain of the ECOSAR prediction because: a) Peomosa is a neutral organic presenting the toxicity solely by its bioavailability (i.e. without fragments that activate this neutral organic); b) its predicted Log Kow is 2.11 (measured 2.1) (=< 6.4); c) its MW is 136.19 (< 1000); and d) the toxicity predicted is below its water solubility which is 12339 mg/l. The fit in the applicability domain and the availability of an analogue in the training set results in limited uncertainty of the Peomosa prediction. This shows that the prediction is reliable and a Klimisch 2 can be assigned. In accordance with REACH Annex XI, the validity of the (Q)SAR is documented in a QMR for acute algae toxicity on neutral organics (see attached report). The adequate and reliable documentation, presented in the attached file in the study record, further supports this prediction.

Executive summary: The chronic algae ChV for the neutral organic substance Peomosa (2-(2-methylphenyl)ethanol) is predicted to be 10.58 mg/L based on the ECOSAR SAR for neutral organics using a partition coefficient (Log Kow) of 2.11, a molecular weight (MW) of 136.19 and the equation: 96h-ChV(mg/L) = MW x 10^ (-0.6029 Log Kow + 0.1648).
