Short-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- short-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates
- Type of information:
- (Q)SAR

- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: Calculation of the weighed LC50 of C12-C16 lactates.based on the individual QSAR data for C12, C14 and C16 lactate.
- Justification for type of information:

4. SCIENTIFIC VALIDITY OF THE (Q)SAR MODEL:
The model uses measured data to predict toxicity of chemicals lacking data by using Structure Activity Relationships (SARs) and Quantitative Structure Activity Relationships (QSARs) that estimate a chemical's acute (short-term) toxicity and, when data are available, chronic (long-term or delayed) toxicity. ECOSAR contains a library of chemical class-based QSARs for predicting aquatic toxicity along with an expert decision tree for selecting the appropriate chemical class. - Reason / purpose for cross-reference:

Description of key information
Value calculated based on ECOSAR estimated individual EC50 values for the C12, C14 and C16 lactates being the main constituents of Propanoic acid, 2 -hydroxy, C12 -C16 (even numbered) alkyl esters.
Based on the ester class, the weighed 48h-LC50 was 0.434 mg/L, whereas baseline toxicity (48h-LC50) was 0.118 mg/L. Considering the worst case, the key value equals the baseline toxicity value.

Estimation of the LC50 of Propanoic acid, 2-hydroxy, C12-C16 (even numbered) alkyl esters for aquatic invertebrates:
Assumption: Similar Mode of Action for C12-16 lactates
f=fraction of chemical in mixture
LC50 based on esters
Calculation:
| f | LC50 | 1/LC50 | f/LC50 | |
| C12-lactate | 0.6 | 1.368 | 0.731 | 0.4386 |
| C14-lactate | 0.3 | 0.364 | 2.747 | 0.8242 |

Estimation of the LC50 of Propanoic acid, 2-hydroxy, C12-C16 (even numbered) alkyl esters for aquatic invertebrates:
Assumption: Similar Mode of Action for C12-16 lactates
f=fraction of chemical in mixture
LC50 based on Neutral Organic SAR (Baseline Toxicity)
Calculation:
| f | LC50 | 1/LC50 | f/LC50 | |
| C12-lactate | 0.6 | 0.669 | 1.495 | 0.8969 |
| C14-lactate | 0.3 | 0.117 | 8.547 | 2.5641 |
| C16-lactate | 0.1 | 0.020 | 50.000 | 5.000 |
| Σf/LC50 | 8.4610 | |||
| LC50 - Propanoic acid, 2-hydroxy, C12-C16 (even numbered) alkyl esters | 0.118 | mg/L | ||
Considering the fact that the maximum total concentration of C12 -16 alcohols is <10 % (w/w) and their LC50 values were not significantly lower than those of the lactates, the respective individual LC50 values were not included in the calculation.
