Based on the above studies, chemical consider to be nontoxic. - Executive summary:
Various studies available for the test chemical were reviewed to determine the toxic nature of test chemical on the growth and other activity of microorganisms. The studies are as mentioned below:
To measure the effects of test substance on microorganisms a study was conducted on Paramecium caudatum (PC), a unicellular animal, which can be observed more readily and in far less time than that of small animals. P. Caudatum was maintained at 22°C on 0.15 % dried lettuce infusion and fed with Aerobacter aerogenes. Chemical was tested in 0.1% and 1% concentration. The test concentrations were put in a hollow slide glass, and an equal volume of 0.04 M phosphate buffer, pH 7.0, was added. After 5 to 10 test organisms were added, their survival times were measured microscopically. Thirty to forty test organisms for each concentration were tested by the same method, and the mean survival time and the death rate were calculated. The survival time was defined as the time required until death was observed for each concentration. Death was assumed to have occurred when there was no movement. The death rate was defined as the percentage of deaths observed during 20 minutes. The mean survival time (in sec) of test organism Paramecium caudatum was determined to be 695 seconds. The death rate of the test organism at 10000mg/l was 77.4%. Therefore the Effective concentration causing more than 50% death of Paramecium caudatum was reported as 10000 mg/l.
First study was supported by the second study from peer reviewed journal which was conducted to determine the toxicity of test substance on microorganisms. The organisms (Vibrio fisheri) were exposed for 30 s and 30 min to test substance, and the peak luminescence value was obtained during the first 5s after adding the bacterial suspension to the sample. The test concentrations were 500–5000 mg/l with RO16. The results were calculated as the inhibition % of light production and expressed using the corresponding EC50 values. With 30-min exposure time, EC50 value was determined to be 1375 mg/L for the test chemical. Thus based on the EC50 value, chemical was considered to be nontoxic to the growth of microorganism.
Thus based on the overall studies for the test chemical was considered to be nontoxic and the toxicity ranges from the concentration 1375 mg/l - 10000 mg/l.

2. The toxic effects were observed in similar ranges of dye concentrations in the flash luminescence test and protozoan tests, in spite of different endpoints involved. Compared to other compounds, the dyes used were not very efficient in inhibiting luminescence The effective dye concentrations exceeded those normally encountered in textile industry environmental pollution . Due to its simplicity and rapidity, the flash test was suitable for determination of toxicity of dye compounds, but its use for toxicity evaluation of dye containing diluted effluents could be limited because of the low sensitivity to these compounds.
