Conclusions:
he EC50 was estimated to be 3.4 mg/l when Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata was exposed with4-(phenylazo)benzene-1,3-diamine acetate.
On the basis of the effect concentration the test chemical is considered toxic and can be classified in the category "Aquatic chronic 2"
Executive summary:

In a prediction done by SSS (2018) using the OECD QSAR toolbox with log kow as the primary descriptor, the short term aquatic toxicity to algae and cyanobacteria was estimated for4-(phenylazo)benzene-1,3-diamine acetate. The EC50 was estimated to be 3.4 mg/l when Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata was exposed with4-(phenylazo)benzene-1,3-diamine acetate.

On the basis of the effect concentration the test chemical is considered toxic and can be classified in the category "Aquatic chronic 2"

Additional information

Toxicity to aquatic algae and cynobacteria:

In a prediction done by SSS (2018) using the OECD QSAR toolbox with log kow as the primary descriptor, the short term aquatic toxicity to algae and cyanobacteria was estimated for4-(phenylazo)benzene-1,3-diamine acetate. The EC50 was estimated to be 3.4 mg/l whenPseudokirchneriella subcapitatawas exposed with4-(phenylazo)benzene-1,3-diamine acetate.

On the basis of the effect concentration the test chemical is considered toxic and can be classified in the category "Aquatic chronic 2"

The above experimental data was furthe supported by experimental result summarized in Hazardous substance data bank for P- aminodiphenylamine  U.S National Library of Medicine 2013 for the structurally similar read across substance P- aminodiphenylamine (CAS:101 -54 -2).

p-Aminodiphenylamine was used as a test material to evaluate it’s toxicity for Scenedesmus subspicatus for 72h . The effect concentration of p-Aminodiphenylamine was observed to be 2.4 mg/l.

Based on the above effect concentration the test chemical is considered toxic and can be classified in the category " Acute Aquatic 2" for algae
