Description of key information

The sediment toxicity was predicted by a QSAR, the PETROTOX v4.0 computer model. PETROTOX is a well-documented and peer reviewed model that is widely used across the chemicals industry. The predicted LL50 values for Lumbriculus variegatus ranged from 221 to 1294570 mg/kg sediment dw. The predicted EL10 values for Lumbriculus variegatus ranged from 42.3 to 248002 mg/kg sediment dw.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

 
The PETROTOX v4.0 model for sediment and terrestrial organism calculates the constituent concentration in sediment or soil using the product composition (% mass) along with the total sediment/soil (s/s) loading rate (concentration of the full substance as added to the soil/sediment). The model then uses the equilibrium-partitioning calculations to convert aqueous-based effect concentrations (EC50, mmol/L) to soil or sediment based values (mmol/kg oc) for each constituent using the CTLBB for the soil or sediment organism. Then, it combines the s/s based concentration (mg/kg dw) and the effect concentrations in soil or sediment based values (mmol/kg oc) to compute toxic units for each constituent, which are then summed to determine the overall effect concentration (LC50ss) of the substance.
 
The predicted values were:
