Conclusions:

EC50 value was estimated to be 85.54mg/L on the basis of intoxication for Daphnia magna for 48 hrs duration.
Based on this value it can be concluded that the 2-bromoethanaminium bromide (CAS No.2576-47-8) was considered to be toxic to aquatic invertebrates and can be classified in aquatic chronic 3 as per the CLP regulations.

Executive summary:

Based on the prediction done using the OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.4 with log kow as the primary descriptor and considering the five closest read across substances, the short term toxicity on aquatic invertebrates was predicted for 2-bromoethanaminium bromide (CAS No.2576-47-8). EC50 value was estimated to be 85.54mg/L on the basis of intoxication for Daphnia magna for 48 hrs duration.

Based on this value it can be concluded that the 2-bromoethanaminium bromide (CAS No.2576-47-8) was considered to be toxic to aquatic invertebrates and can be classified in aquatic chronic 3 as per the CLP regulations.

Additional information

Short term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates was summarised with 3 weight of evidence for 2-bromoethanaminium bromide (CAS No.2576-47-8) with one predicted QSAR report for target and supporting studies for read-across substances 2-chloro-N, N, N-trimethylethanaminium chloride (999-81-5) and 2-(2-chloroethyl) phosphonic acid (16672-87-0):

EC50 value was estimated to be 85.54mg/L on the basis of intoxication for Daphnia magna for 48 hrs duration.

Based on this value it can be concluded that the 2-bromoethanaminium bromide (CAS No.2576-47-8) was considered to be toxic to aquatic invertebrates and can be classified in aquatic chronic 3 as per the CLP regulations.

 

Short term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates was performed in read across 2-chloro-N, N, N-trimethylethanaminium chloride (999-81-5) (ECOTOX database, 2017) for 5 Daphnia with age of 6-24 hr old. Concentrations ranges from 14.9-19.2 mg/l were treated for 48 hrs on the basis of effect intoxication. After the 48 hrs, the EC 50 value for 2-chloro-N, N, N-trimethylethanaminium chloride (999-81-5) for daphnia magna was determined to be 16.7 mg/l on the basis of intoxication. Based on the value, 2-chloro-N, N, N-trimethylethanaminium chloride was considered to be toxic to aquatic invertebrates and can be classified in aquatic chronic 3 category as per the CLP regulations.

Another read across supporting weight of evidence of short term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates was performed in 5 Daphnia for read across (2-chloroethyl)phosphonic acid (16672-87-0) (ECOTOX database,2017)Concentrations ranges from 17 -58 mg/l were treated for 48 hrs on the basis of effect intoxication.

After the 48 hrs, the EC 50 value for (2-chloroethyl)phosphonic acid (16672-87-0) for daphnia magna was determined to be 31.7 mg/l on the basis of intoxication.Based on the value, (2-chloroethyl) phosphonic acid was considered to be toxic to aquatic invertebrates and can be classified in aquatic chronic 3 category as per the CLP regulations.

 

On the basis of results for toxicity to aquatic invertebrates from target prediction and read across chemical results which were likely to be toxic to aquatic invertebrates at environmentally relevant concentrations also supported the target substances hence, from all weight of evidences it can be considered that 2-bromoethanaminium bromide (CAS No.2576-47-8) can be toxic and can be classified in aquatic chronic 3 category as per the criteria of CLP regulation
