The above predicted study of target chemical is supported by the experimental study of read across chemical Fluorescein sodium; disodium 3-oxo-3H-spiro[2-benzofuran-1,9'-xanthene]-3',6'-diolate (CAS: 518-47-8) from the publication Environmental Monitoring and Asessment 1995, suggests that the Ecological assessments included both acute and chronic effects for the 3 life forms: fish, Cladocera (water flea, daphnia), and algae The concern levels identified by use of the SAR technique are expressed ad HIGH, MODERATE, LOW. These values are toxicity values, not exposure values. SAR results are generally regarded by EPA as being reliable. Dyes with aquatic toxicity values below 1mg/l received a HIGH concern rating, those with toxicity values ranging from 1-100mg/l received a MODERATE concern rating and those with toxicity values greater than 100mg/l received a LOW concern rating. The Median Lethal Concentration to 50 % Fish when expeosed to Fluorescein sodium; disodium 3-oxo-3H-spiro[2-benzofuran-1,9'-xanthene]-3',6'-diolate for 96 hr is of 2200 mg/l. It can be concluded fomthe value that the Fluorescein sodium; disodium 3-oxo-3H-spiro[2-benzofuran-1,9'-xanthene]-3',6'-diolate is not toxic to the aquatic envieronment and cnbe considered as "not classified" as per the classification criteria for aquatic environment.

The species used in this study is Himedaka (Oryzias latipes) of same age (2 cm long and 0.2 in weight) was used for the study. The test fishes were acclimatized for 10 days in tap water. The tests solution is 1 litre solution of pH 7.0 containing 3,000 mg/l of test substance Fluorescein sodium, ten fishes were kept in the tank without direct sunlight for 48 hrs and survival rate was determined. Water temp. was 20C and aeration was provided with bubbler. Median Tolerance Limit (TLm) was also determined after 24 and 48 hrs. The TLm value was not reported. As no mortality of test animal was observed after 48 hrs, the LC0 value was found to be 3,000 mg/l. Thus, the survival rate of fish after 48 hrs was found to be 100%.The lethal concentration for Fluorescein sodium; disodium 3-oxo-3H-spiro[2-benzofuran-1,9'-xanthene]-3',6'-diolate in 48 hr is 3,000 mg/l.

that the Toxicity to micro-organisms study was conducted onStaphylococcus aureusof enterotoxigenic strain ATCC 13565.

For the preparation of dye solution, a test portion (approximately 10 mg) was placed in a 10-ml volumetric flask, which was wrapped in aluminum foil, and dissolved by adding aqueous sodium hydroxide (approx. 0.4% NaOH) (1 ml) and water (9 ml).

Inoculum was prepared inbrain heart infusion broth (BHI). Cultures were incubated shaking (200 rpm) at 37°C. All the experiments were conducted under conditions of standard room illumination (fluorescent ceiling light, Sylvania Octron 4100K) in tubes containing 3 ml of medium. Growth was analyzed by measuring turbidity (absorbance at a wavelength of 660 to 680 nm) with a spectrophotometer (Spectronic 21D). Experiments were initiated with ̴0.2 ml of inoculum from a fresh culture grown aerobically at an optical density (OD) of ̴1. Colony counts were measured on BHI plates.

 For the study,a 300-µl aliquot of dye solution (1 mg/ml) was mixed with 0.7 ml of BHI and then added to a tube of diluted culture. The tubes were aerated vigorously, and the OD was measured every 45 min to check culture growth. The survival rate was measured by plating serial dilutions of a sample taken during the experiment on BHI plates.
