Table: Toxicity data

 

#	5 m- pT	15 m- pT	30 m- pT	Name	Formula	ppm	M. wt.

Where,

Footnote = Purity of chemical (in %) and/or deviation from standard conditions.

pT =Measured concentrations (in log(L/mmol) at which there is a 50% reduction of the light emission relative to controls at the stated exposure times of 5, 15 and 30 min.

ppm =The compound's toxicity expressed in parts per million (ppm) or mg/L. If more than one entry is provided on the same line under the pT headings, preference is given to the 30-min exposure EC50 level, second preference to the 15-min level and third preference to the 5-min level.

3. No data available

Validity criteria fulfilled:

not specified

Conclusions:

On the basis of the experimental studies of the structurally and functionally similar read across chemical and applying the weight of evidence approach, the EC50 value of the test chemical on test organism can be expected to be ranges from 13.5 to 19 mg/l.

Executive summary:

Data available for the structurally and functionally similar read across chemicals has been reviewed to determine the toxic effect of the test chemical on microorganisms.The studies are as mentioned below:

Aquatic toxicity study of micro-organism to the test chemical was conducted using Photobacterium phosphoreum, strain NRRL-B-11177 (also referred to asVibrio fischerii, strain NRRL-B-11177). The study was performed at a temperature of 15ᵒC and pH range 5 to 9, respectively. Recommneded reference substance that can be used for the study were Phenol and Sodium pentachlorophenate, respectively. When the test bacterium Photobacterium phosphoreum, strain NRRL-B-11177 was exposed to the test chemical, reduction in light output was observed. Thus, based on this effect, the 30 mins EC50 value was determined to be 19 mg/l.

Another toxicity toTetrahymena thermophilastudy was carried out at 32°C.The study was based on the effects of the test chemical on test organism. On the basis of the effect on growth rate of the test organismTetrahymena thermophila, the 48 hr EC50 value was determined to be 13.5 mg/l.

On the basis of the experimental studies of the structurally and functionally similar read across chemical and applying the weight of evidence approach, the EC50 value of the test chemical on test organism can be expected to be ranges from 13.5 to 19 mg/l.
