Results and discussion

Effect concentrations
Duration:
96 h
Dose descriptor:
EC50
Effect conc.:
59 188 mg/L
Details on results:
Validity of Model:
1. Defined endpoint: Toxicity to algae (growth)
2. Unambiguous algorithm: Linear regression QSAR, neutral organics
3. Applicability domain: Applicable to chemicals with log Kow values less than 5.0 for fish, 6.0 for Daphnia, 6.4 for green algae (all acute values) and 8.0 for all species (all chronic values); molecular weight maximum 1000
4. Statistical characteristics: N = 327 + 61; coefficient of determination (R2) = 0.8753
5. Mechanistic determination related to the partitioning of substance from water into lipids
Adequacy of prediction: The substance falls within the applicable domain and the predicted value can be considered reliable. See the table for predicted results for all species.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
KGA was predicted to have an algae 96 hour EC50 of 59188 mg/L. KGA will not be toxic to aquatic organisms.
Executive summary:

KGA was predicted using the ECOSAR estimation software to have an algae 96 hour EC50 of 59188 mg/L. Therefore KGA will not be toxic to aquatic organisms, and since KGA is the major constituent of KGA Greens, it is expected that KGA Greens also is not toxic to aquatic organisms.
