Conclusions:

Based on the prediction done using the OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3 with log kow as the primary descriptor and considering the closest read across substances, the short term toxicity on aquatic algae predicted for sodium 2-[(1-oxododecyl)amino]ethanesulphonate (CAS: 70609-66-4). Effect concentration i.e EC50 value estimated to be 139.54 mg/l for Desmodesmus subspicatus for 48 hrs duration. It can be concluded that the sodium 2-[(1-oxododecyl)amino]ethanesulphonate (CAS: 70609-66-4) IS likely to be not toxic to aquatic algae, hence it can be considered to be “not classified” as per the CLP classification criteria for aquatic environment.

Additional information

Following studies include the predicted data and experimental study for the target chemical and structurally similar read across to conclude the toxicity extent of sodium 2-[(1 oxododecyl)amino]ethanesulphonate (CAS: 70609-66-4) towards aquatic algae is summarized as follows:

Based on the prediction done using the OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3 with log kow as the primary descriptor and considering the closest read across substances, the short term toxicity on aquatic algae predicted for sodium 2-[(1-oxododecyl)amino]ethanesulphonate (CAS: 70609-66-4). Effect concentration i.e EC50 value estimated to be 139.54 mg/l for Desmodesmus subspicatus for 48 hrs duration. It can be concluded that the sodium 2-[(1-oxododecyl)amino]ethanesulphonate (CAS: 70609-66-4) IS likely to be not toxic to aquatic algae, hence it can be considered to be “not classified” as per the CLP classification criteria for aquatic environment.

Another predicted data for target chemical indicates that On the basis of EPI suite, ECOSAR version 1.1, the EC50 value for toxicity to aquatic algae was predicted to be 240.17 mg/l for sodium 2-[(1-oxododecyl)amino]ethanesulphonate (CAS: 70609-66-4) in 48 hrs. Based on the EC50 value, it can be concluded that the substance sodium 2-[(1-oxododecyl)amino]ethanesulphonate (CAS: 70609-66-4) can be considered as not toxic to aquatic environment.

The above predicted data is supported by the experimental study of structurally similar read across Dodecane-12-lactam (CAS:947-04-6) from J-Check 1998,Toxicity to aquatic algae and cyanobacteria test was carried out to study the effects of Dodecane-12-lactam on aquatic invertebrate. Growth rate effects was measured.The effective concentration EC50 to 50% of green algae is > 100 mg/l at 72 hrs. It can be concluded that the Dodecane-12-lactam is not toxic to the aquatic environment.

Thus based on the effect concentrations which is in the range > 100 mg/l to 240.17 mg/l give the conclusion that test substance sodium 2-[(1 oxododecyl)amino]ethanesulphonate (CAS: 70609-66-4) was likely to be not toxic to aquatic algae at environmentally relevant concentrations and applying weight of evidence approach it can be considered to be“not classified”as per the CLP classification criteria.
