Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Reference
Endpoint:
activated sludge respiration inhibition testing
Type of information:
(Q)SAR
Remarks:
QSAR
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
Not applicable, calculated value
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
results derived from a valid (Q)SAR model and falling into its applicability domain, with adequate and reliable documentation / justification
Justification for type of information:
A discussion and report on the read across strategy is given as an attachment in IUCLID Section 13. Petrotox is a well documented and peer reviewed model that is widely used across the petrochemicals industry. This substance fits within the criteria of the model and there are no reservations about the validity of the model runs. It is expected that this data is reliable with restrictions.
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The aquatic toxicity was estimated by a QSAR, the Petrotox computer model (v. 3.06). This model combines a partitioning model used to calculate the aqueous concentration of hydrocarbon components with the Target Lipid Model used to calculate acute and chronic toxicity of non-polar narcotic chemicals. Petrotox computes toxicity based on the summation of the aqueous-phase concentrations of hydrocarbon block(s) that represent a hydrocarbon substance and membrane-water partition coefficients (KMW) that describe the partitioning of the hydrocarbons between the water and organism

Executive summary:

The aquatic toxicity was estimated using the Petrotox computer model, which combines a partitioning model used to calculate the aqueous concentration of hydrocarbon components as a function of substance loading with the Target Lipid Model used to calculate acute and chronic toxicity of non-polar narcotic chemicals. Petrotox computes toxicity based on the summation of the aqueous-phase concentrations of hydrocarbon block(s) that represent a hydrocarbon substance and membrane-water partition coefficients (KMW) that describe the partitioning of the hydrocarbons between the water and organism.

The estimated protozoan, Tetrahymena pyriformis, 48-hr NOEL value for this substance is 8.12 based on growth inhibition.

Description of key information

A QSAR prediction using Petrotox v3.06 predicted an acute LL50 for algae of 8.12 mg/l, which is considered the key value for toxicity to microorganisms.

There are no experimental studies available for any of the read-across substances.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
