REPORTING FORMAT FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH

1. HYPOTHESIS FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH
This read-across is based on the hypothesis that the source and the target substance have very similar physicochemical and (eco)toxicological properties because their chemical structures are nearly identical. An analogue approach has thus been employed. The target substance is the meta-isomer of the dye Reactive Blue 049, where the sulphonate group is bound at the meta-position of the aminobenzene moiety. The source chemical is the reaction mass of both the meta-isomer and the para-isomer of Reactive Blue 049.
The presence of sulphonate groups make both dyes highly water soluble and therefore less critical for human health and environmental issues. Based on their chemical similarity, similar properties are expected in both humans and the environment.

2. SOURCE AND TARGET CHEMICAL(S)
Source: Reactive Blue 49 meta/para (CAS# 72214-18-7 / EC# 276-481-8)
Target: Reactive Blue 49 meta (CAS# 72927-99-2 / EC# 277-040-2)

Basis for effect:
mobility
Conclusions:
EC50 in Daphnia magna at 48 h : >100 mg/L (2 studies)
Executive summary:

Two weight of evidence studies showed that the source substance does not have acute toxic effects on Daphnia magna up to 100 mg/L which leads to a 48h-EC50 greater than 100 mg/L. The structurally related target substance will show the same behaviour and therefore it can be anticipated that the 48h-EC50 will be >100 mg/L as well.

Description of key information

The test item had no acute toxicity effects on Daphnia magna with an 48-hour EC50 > 100 mg/L.

Additional information

Two weight of evidence studies showed that the source substance does not have acute toxic effects on Daphnia magna up to 100 mg/L which leads to a 48h-EC50 greater than 100 mg/L. The structurally related target substance will show the same behaviour and therefore it can be anticipated that the 48h-EC50 will be >100 mg/L as well.
