Executive summary:

Data available for the structurally and functionally similar read across chemicals has been reviewed todetermine the toxicity of aquatic algae and cyanobacteria of the test chemical Reaction mass of 3H-Indolium, 2-[2-[4-[(2-cyanoethyl)methylamino]phenyl]ethenyl]-1,3,3-trimethyl- & acetate.The studies are as mentioned below.

1.The algal growth inhibition test was performed using as test material on Chlorella sp .

 Chlorella sp were grown on 500mL Erlenmeyer flask.Algae were added into 100mL of test water containing 50, 100, 150, 200 and 250 mg/L of 73.6, 67.9, 33.3, 25.0 and 16.6% concentration of test chemical .

 The flask was placed in an ambient temperature provided air and sealed with parafilm.Flasks were continuous illuminated (cool white fluorescent light approximately 120 mE/s/m2 or 6,000 lux at water level.

Determination of algal growth by measuring live cell count, Chlorophyll a, dry weight and absorbance at 720nm. The effect concentration of test chemical on Chlorella sp. was observed to be 10.8 mg/l.

2.Freshwater algal growth inhibition test was carried out on Desmodesmus subspicatus with the substance,according to OECD Guideline 201.

The test substance was dissolved in DMSO/ OECD growth medium and tested at the concentrations 0, 3, 6, 12, 24 and 50 mg/L. Effects on the growth rate of the organism were studied. The median effective concentration (EC50) for the test substance,diphenylacetonitrile,,in Desmodesmus subspicatus was determined to be 12.9 mg/L.

This value indicates that the substance is likely to be hazardous to aquatic algae and can be classified as Aquatic Chronic Category 3 as per the CLP criteria.

Thus, based on the above summarised studies, Reaction mass of 3H-Indolium, 2-[2-[4-[(2-cyanoethyl)methylamino]phenyl]ethenyl]-1,3,3-trimethyl- & acetate and it’s structurally and functionally similar read across substance, it can be concluded that effect concetration value is in the range of 10 to 12 mg/ L. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, Reaction mass of 3H-Indolium, 2-[2-[4-[(2-cyanoethyl)methylamino]phenyl]ethenyl]-1,3,3-trimethyl- & acetate can be classified

for toxicity for aquatic algae and cynobacteria .Hence,based on the data available for structually and functionally similar read across, test chemical Reaction mass of 3H-Indolium, 2-[2-[4-[(2-cyanoethyl)methylamino]phenyl]ethenyl]-1,3,3-trimethyl- & acetate can be classified as Aquatic Chronic category 3 as per the CLP criteria.
