Description of key information

Short-term toxicity to fish:

Data available for the structurally and functionally similar read across chemicals has been reviewed to determine the short term toxicity of fish of the test chemical 4-[(3-aminobenzoyl)amino]-5-hydroxynaphthalene-1,7-disulphonic acid (70239 -77 -9).The studies are as mentioned below:

1.Test material was used to evaluate the short term toxicity onBruchydunio rerio. The effect concentration (EC50 was considered to be less the 100 mg/l.

2.Test material was used as a test material to evaluate its acute toxicity effect on Fathead Minnow (Pimephales promelas)

 

10 Fathead Minnow (Pimephales promelas) were acclimatized in 5-gallon wide mouth glass jar for 10 days before the test in the test temperature 17°C. The test organisms were pre-treated with tetracycline .

  Test material was subjected in the test vessel upto the concentration of 12 mg/l . Toxic effect were observed after 96 hrs. Hence the effect concentration was considered to be >12 mg/l

Before death, fish tended to become very slow moving at higher concentration. Dead fish were dyed on heads and fins . Surviving fish were dyed dark green in concentration above 1mg/l.

1.The Microtox acute toxicity assay was performed by using a modified strain ofVibrio fischeri. Frozen samples were brought to room temperature, and centrifuged. The pH of the samples was adjusted where necessary to 6 by adding 0.5 ml 0.58 M KH2 PO4 and 70μl 1 M NaOH. Colour correction was done at 490 nm. The Microtox acute toxicity assay was performed in a Microtox 500 Analyzer on samples before and after decoloration according to the test protocols defined by the manufacturer From eight serial dilutions, the percent concentration to decrease 20% of the luminescence of amodified strain ofVibrio fischeri(EC20)after 5 min incubation was calculated with the Microtox data analysis program [Microtox Omni Software(1999) Azur Environmental, Newark, Del.]. A solution of 1 g/l ZnSO4·7H2O was used as the positive control and 1 g/l glucose as the negative control. Each EC20 reported is the average of triplicate analysis.

The concentration to decrease 50% of the bacterial luminescence in the Microtox acute assay (EC50) is normally reported. However, in most of these studies, the EC50 before or after decoloration was greater than 100% indicating that there was no toxicity or toxicity change. To better evaluate whether the decoloration process affected toxicity, the dilution required to decrease 20% of the bacterial luminescence relative to the control (EC20)was reported instead. The following rating was adapted from Coleman & Qureshi (1985) –

EC20:>100%=nontoxic;

>75–100%=slightly non-toxic;

 >50–75%=toxic;

>25–50%=moderately toxic;

<25% very toxic.

The toxicity of 100mg/l of test material determined in terms of EC20 (% dilution) was 44.6 ± 11.6. According to the ranking scheme for Microtox assay using EC20 values, test material can be categorized under moderately toxic category.

2.Toxicity value of test materila to Vibrio fisheri was found to be EC50: 22.19+/-2.47 on the basis of inhibition of the light output after a 5 min exposure period.

Thus, based on the above summarised studies, Ammonium iodide and it’s structurally and functionally similar read across substance, it can be concluded that

4-[(3-aminobenzoyl)amino]-5-hydroxynaphthalene-1,7-disulphonic acid is moderately toxic to microorganism.
