Conclusions:

The short-term toxicity of the 1,4-Bis(ethenyl)benzene; p-Divinylbenzene (CAS no.105-06-6 ) to Daphnia Magna is predicted using EPI Suite ECOSAR version 1.10. On the basis of effects observed in a static freshwater system during a 48 hr exposure, the effect concentration (EC50) for the substance is estimated to be 1.744 mg/L. Based on this value, it can be concluded that the test chemical can be considered as toxic to Daphnia Magna at environmentally relevant concentrations and can be considered as classified in aquatic chronic category 2 as per the CLP classification criteria.

Executive summary:

The short-term toxicity of the 1,4-Bis(ethenyl)benzene; p-Divinylbenzene (CAS no.105-06-6 ) to Daphnia Magna is predicted using EPI Suite ECOSAR version 1.10. On the basis of effects observed in a static freshwater system during a 48 hr exposure, the effect concentration (EC50) for the substance is estimated to be 1.744 mg/L. Based on this value, it can be concluded that the test chemical can be considered as toxic to Daphnia Magna at environmentally relevant concentrations and can be considered as classified in aquatic chronic category 2 as per the CLP classification criteria.
