Additional information

Short term toxicity to fish:-

The 48 hrs. LC50 value of 4-nitroaniline in fish (Leuciscus idus) was examined to be 35 mg/l. Considering this LC50 value of 4-nitroaniline, it can be concluded that this chemical will exhibit short term toxicity to fish in aquatic chronic 3 category as per the C & L criteria set by EU.

Long term toxicity to fish:-

According to annex IX of column I,Long-term toxicity testing on fish need not to be conducted as it is already provided as part of Annex VIII requirements.Therefore this study was considered waived.

Short-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates:-

Lethal concentration (LC50) value for 4-nitroaniline to invertebrate Daphnia magna in a 24 hr study on the effect basis of mortality for 4-nitroaniline was estimated to be 24 mg/L. Based upon this value it can be concluded that 4-nitroaniline shall exhibit toxicity to aquatic invertebrates like Daphnia in aquatic chronic 3 category as per the C & L criteria.

Long-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates:-

According to annex IX of column I;Long-term toxicity testing on invertebrate (species : Daphnia) need not to be conducted as it is already provided as a part of Annex VII requirements.

Toxicity to aquatic algae and cyanobacteria :-

Toxicity to aquatic algae Chlorococcales on the basis of Physiology effect examined for 24 hrs. as 50% effect concentration (EC50) : 68 mg/l . Considering this EC50 value of 4-nitroaniline, it can be assumed that this chemical will exhibit toxicity to aquatic algae in aquatic chronic 3 category as per the C & L criteria.

Toxicity to microorganisms:-

Inhibition concentration to 50% of test organisms Tetrahymena pyriformis (Ciliate) was examined at dose concentration of 10.14 mg/L (IC50). Measurement of population growth rate was observed at 10.14 mg/L.This value indicates that 4-nitroaniline will exhibit toxicity to microorganism

in aquatic chronic 3 category as per the C & L criteria set by EU.
