Conclusions:

The median Effective concentration (EC50) value for (5Or8)-aminonaphthalene-2-sulphonic acid on Desmodesmus subspicatus in a 72 hour study was estimated to be 110.384 mg/L on the basis of effects on growth rate.

Executive summary:

72 hrs aquatic toxicity study was predicted to assess toxic effects of the test compound (5Or8)-aminonaphthalene-2-sulphonic acid (CAS no. 51548 -48 -2) and the result were predicted. The study was based on the effects of the test compound on Desmodesmus subcapitata in a static fresh water

system. The predicted data suggests the effective concentration (EC50) for the test compound (5Or8)-aminonaphthalene-2-sulphonic acid (CAS no.51548 -48 -2) was estimated to be 110.384 mg/l on the basis of growth rate. Thus, based on this value, it can be concluded that the test chemical can be considered as non-toxic to aquatic organisms and thus cannot be classified as hazardous as per the CLP criteria.

Based on the QSAR prediction done using the EPI Suite ECOSAR version 1.10 (EPI Suite, 2016), the 96 hours EC50 was estimated to be 7965.639 mg/l on green algae for substance (5Or8)-aminonaphthalene-2-sulphonic acid with growth inhibition effects.

Estimated 72 hrs EC50 value (Danish QSAR database, 2016) of test substance (5Or8)-aminonaphthalene-2-sulphonic acid on Pseudokirchneriella subcapitatawas determined by three different models i.e, Battery, Leadscope and SciQSAR used within Danish QSAR database. Based on inhibition in growth rate of test organism Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, the estimated 72 hrs EC50 value was found to be 2728.812 mg/l.

Based on the overall reported results for test substance, it can be concluded that the substance(5Or8)-aminonaphthalene-2-sulphonic acid can be considered as non-toxic to aquatic organisms and thus cannot be classified as hazardous as per the CLP criteria.
