Executive summary:

The acute toxicity of sodium p-cumenesulphonate to fish (zebrafish) was assessed according to the principles of the OECD-Guideline for Testing of Chemicals No. 203 (2019).
A limit concentration of 252 mg/L corresponding to 100 mg a.s./L, was tested as a threshold concentration. The concentration was based on the derivation of a threshold concentration (TC) from the results of a daphnia acute immobilization test (EC50 (0-48 h) = > 304 mg/L, corresponding to 121 mg a.s./L, and an alga toxicity test (ErC50 (0-72 h) = > 252 mg/L, corresponding to 100 mg a.s./L (both nominal test item concentration)).
The study was performed over a period of 96 hours under semi-static conditions with renewal of test solutions after every 24 hours as a worst-case exposure. Seven test organisms were exposed to the test concentration and the control, respectively. Water quality parameters (temperature, pH-value and oxygen-saturation) measured at 0, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours were determined to be within the acceptable limits. The test solutions were visually clear throughout the study.
The concentration of the test item sodium p-cumenesulphonate was analytically verified via LCMS/ MS in fresh media at the start of the exposure (0 hours and 72 hours) and in the corresponding old media at the end of the exposure (24 hours and 96 hours) in the limit test item concentration and the control. The measured concentration of the test item were 91% and 100% in the fresh media and 91% in the old media of the nominal test item concentration.
All validity criteria of the test guideline were met. The test item does not show toxic effects on fish at the test concentration 252 mg/L, corresponding to 100 mg a.s./L. The test results are considered applicable for potassium p-cumenesulphonate based on the chemical similarity.

Description of key information

The HYDROTOPES Category comprises the following 6 substances:
STS - Sodium toluene 4-sulphonate (CAS 657-84-1, EC 211-522-5)
SXS - Sodium (xylenes and 4-ethylbenzene) sulphonate (EC 701-037-1)
NH4XS - Ammonium (xylenes and 4-ethylbenzene) sulphonate (EC 943-024-5)
SCS - Sodium p-cumenesulphonate (CAS 15763-76-5, EC 239-854-6)
KCS - Potassium p-cumenesulphonate (CAS 164524-02-1, EC 629-764-9)
NH4CS - Ammonium p-cumenesulphonate (CAS 680972-33-2, EC 811-484-5) 
In addition CaXS (Calcium Xylenesulphonate, CAS 28088-63-3, EC 248-829-9) was evaluated for complete the assessment despite it is not registered under REACH.


There are available studies on short term toxicity to fish performed on two subgroups (xylene and cumene) and the missing toluene subgroup is covered by the data on the related sulphonic acid. The results of the available studies are:
SXS (1993, no GLP): LC50 > 1000 mg/l (a.i.)
CaXS (1994, GLP): LC50 > 1580 mg/l (a.i.)
SCS (2020, GLP): LC50 > 100 mg/l (a.i.)
TSA (1981, no GLP): LC50 > 325 mg/l (a.i.)

The key study used for the assessment is the test performed on SCS (2020, GLP) with the 96-hour LC50 value > 100 mg/L.
The other available studies are:
- a 1993 USEPA Guideline study (EPA-OTS 5797.1400) Fish Acute Toxicity Test using Oncorhynchus mykiss with the test substance sodium xylenesulphonate. The study is well documented but was not conducted under GLP compliance. Rainbow trout were exposed to the test substance for 96 hours in freshwater under static conditions. Chemical analysis was not performed. The nominal 96-hour LC50 was greater than the highest test concentration at >1000 mg/L (active ingredient). No deaths or abnormal behavior were observed in the test at any of the 5 concentrations.
- a USEPA Guideline (EPA-OTS 5797.1400) with the tested substance calcium xylenesulphonate and conducted to GLP compliance. The measured 96-hour LC50 for rainbow trout in this flow-through study was 1580 mg/L. The NOEC was 824 mg/L based on behavioural abnormalities (e.g., loss of equilibrium) at the 1580 mg/L exposure level.
These studies indicate that of the Hydrotropes substances are comparable in term of effects on fish and show low toxicity.
