Description of key information

One experimental study of reliability 1 (based on international guideline and GLP compliance) and two QSAR results are available to assess the aquatic toxicity of the registered substance on algae and aquatic invertebrates.

 

The experimental growth inhibition study on Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata was performed on the registered substance. In this study, the 72h-ErC50 value for growth rate, based on geometric mean measured concentrations, was determined at 369.3 mg/L. This study was supported by a conservative QSAR result on algae performed on the registered substance also.

The QSAR predictions (iSafeRat® holistic HA-QSAR v1.5) have been validated to be compliant with the OECD recommendations for QSAR modelling (OECD, 2004) and predicts the ecotoxicological values which would be expected when testing the substance under experimental conditions in a laboratory following OECD Guidelines. The growth inhibition of algae and immobilisation of daphnids were determined using a validated QSAR for the Mode of Action in question (ester) using training sets for which the concentrations of the test substance had been determined by chemical analyses over the test period. The 72h-ErC50 value based on growth rate of algae was determined to be 81 mg/L. This predicted toxicity value was found to be more conservative than the in vivo result at 369.3 mg/L. For the short-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates endpoint, the iSafeRat QSAR model was validated for use with the same applicability domain and under the same conditions as the algae QSAR using a holistic approach. Thus, the prediction method can be considered sufficient to assess, in a conservative way, the toxicity of the registered substance to daphnid. The 48h-EC50 value based on mobility was determined to be 368 mg/L. An in vivo acute daphnia study is therefore not considered necessary.
