Description of key information

Biodegradation in water

Biodegradability of 2-Ethoxy-1-naphthoyl Chloride (CAS no. 55150 -29 -3) is predicted using QSAR toolbox version 3.3 (2017) with logKow as the primary descriptor. Test substance undergoes 17.5% degradation by BOD in 28 days. Thus, based on percentage degradation, the test chemical 2-Ethoxy-1-naphthoyl Chloride was estimated to be not readily biodegradable in water.

Biodegradation in water and sediment

Estimation Programs Interface (EPI Suite, 2017) prediction model was run to predict the half-life in water and sediment for the test compound 2-Ethoxy-1-naphthoyl Chloride (CAS No. 55150 -29 -3). If released in to the environment, 21% of the chemical will partition into water according to the Mackay fugacity model level III and the half-life period of 2-Ethoxy-1-naphthoyl Chloride in water is estimated to be 37.5 days (900 hrs). The half-life (37.5 days estimated by EPI suite) indicates that the chemical is not persistent in water and the exposure risk to aquatic animals is moderate to low whereas the half-life period of 2-Ethoxy-1-naphthoyl Chloride in sediment is estimated to be 337.5 days (8100 hrs). However, as the percentage release of test chemical into the sediment is less than 1% (i.e, reported as 0.272%), indicates that 2-Ethoxy-1-naphthoyl Chloride is not persistent in sediment.

 

Biodegradation in soil

The half-life period of 2-Ethoxy-1-naphthoyl Chloride (CAS No. 55150 -29 -3) in soil was estimated using Level III Fugacity Model by EPI Suite version 4.1 estimation database (EPI suite, 2017). If released into the environment, 78.5% of the chemical will partition into soil according to the Mackay fugacity model level III. The half-life period of 2-Ethoxy-1-naphthoyl Chloride in soil is estimated to be 75 days (1800 hrs). Based on this half-life value of 2-Ethoxy-1-naphthoyl Chloride, it is concluded that the chemical is not persistent in the soil environment and the exposure risk to soil dwelling animals is moderate to low.

Bioaccumulation: aquatic / sediment

BCFBAF model (v3.01) of Estimation Programs Interface (EPI Suite, 2017) was used to predict the bioconcentration factor (BCF) of test chemical 2-Ethoxy-1-naphthoyl Chloride (CAS No. 55150 -29 -3). The bioconcentration factor (BCF) of 2-Ethoxy-1-naphthoyl Chloride was estimated to be 58.63 L/kg whole body w.w (at 25 deg C) which does not exceed the bio concentration threshold of 2000, indicating that the chemical 2-Ethoxy-1-naphthoyl Chloride is not expected to bioaccumulate in the food chain.

Adsorption / desorption

KOCWIN model (v2.00) of Estimation Programs Interface (EPI Suite, 2017) was used to predict the soil adsorption coefficient i.e Koc value of test chemical 2-Ethoxy-1-naphthoyl Chloride (CAS No. 55150 -29 -3). The soil adsorption coefficient i.e Koc value of 2-Ethoxy-1-naphthoyl Chloride was estimated to be 223.4 L/kg (log Koc=2.349)  by means of MCI method (at 25 deg C). This Koc value indicates that the substance 2-Ethoxy-1-naphthoyl Chloride has a low sorption to soil and sediment and therefore have moderate migration potential to ground water.

Additional information

Biodegradation in water

Various predicted data for the target compound 2-Ethoxy-1-naphthoyl Chloride (CAS No. 55150-29-3) and supporting weight of evidence studies for its closest read across substance with logKow as the primary descriptor were reviewed for the biodegradation end point which are summarized as below:

 

In a prediction done by SSS (2017) using OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3 with logKow as the primary descriptor, percentage biodegradability of test chemical 2-Ethoxy-1-naphthoyl Chloride(CAS No. 55150-29-3) was estimated.Test substance undergoes 17.5% degradation by BOD in 28 days. Thus, based on percentage degradation, the test chemical 2-Ethoxy-1-naphthoyl Chloride was estimated to be not readily biodegradable in water.

 

In another prediction using the Estimation Programs Interface Suite (EPI suite, 2017), the biodegradation potential of the test compound 5-methyl-3-phenyl-1,2-oxazole-4-carbonyl chloride(CAS No. 16883-16-2) in the presence of mixed populations of environmental microorganisms was estimated.The biodegradability of the substance was calculated using seven different models such as Linear Model, Non-Linear Model, Ultimate Biodegradation Timeframe, Primary Biodegradation Timeframe, MITI Linear Model, MITI Non-Linear Model and Anaerobic Model (called as Biowin 1-7, respectively) of the BIOWIN v4.10 software. The results indicate that chemical 2-Ethoxy-1-naphthoyl Chloride is expected to be not readily biodegradable.

 

In a supporting weight of evidence study from authoritative database (J-CHECK, 2017) for the read across chemical (2E)-N-ethyl-N-(2-methylphenyl)but-2-enamide (CAS no. 483-63-6),biodegradation experiment was conducted for 28 days for evaluating the percentage biodegradability of read across substance (2E)-N-ethyl-N-(2-methylphenyl)but-2-enamide. Activated sludge was used as a test inoculums for the study. Concentration of inoculum i.e, sludge used was 30 mg/l and initial test substance conc. used in the study was 100 mg/l, respectively. The percentage degradation of substance (2E)-N-ethyl-N-(2-methylphenyl)but-2-enamide was determined to be 2 and 0% by BOD, TOC removal and HPLC parameter in 28 days. Thus, based on percentage degradation, (2E)-N-ethyl-N-(2-methylphenyl)but-2-enamide is considered to be not readily biodegradable in nature.

 

For the read across chemical (3E)-4-phenylbut-3-en-2-one (CAS no. 122-57-6), biodegradation study was conducted for 14 days for evaluating the percentage biodegradability of read across substance (3E)-4-phenylbut-3-en-2-one (J-CHECK, 2017). Activated sludge was used as a test inoculums for the study. Concentration of inoculum i.e, sludge used was 30 mg/l and initial test substance conc. used in the study was 100 mg/l, respectively. The percentage degradation of substance (3E)-4-phenylbut-3-en-2-onewas determined to be 4, < 0 and 1% by BOD, O2 consumption, TOC removal, test mat. analysis and GC parameter in 14 days. Thus, based on percentage degradation, (3E)-4-phenylbut-3-en-2-one is considered to be not readily biodegradable in nature.

 

In a supporting weight of evidence study from secondary source (HPVIS, 2017) for the read across chemical 1,2-aminoazophenylene (CAS no. 95-14-7), biodegradation experiment was conducted for 28 days for evaluating the percentage biodegradability of read across substance 1,2-aminoazophenylene. The study was performed according to OECD Guideline 301 D (Ready Biodegradability: Closed Bottle Test) under aerobic conditions. Predominantly domestic sewage (adapted) was used as a test inoculums for the study. Initial test substance conc. used in the study were2.4, 8, 24 and 80 mg/l, respectively. The percentage degradation of substance 1,2-aminoazophenylene was determined to be 0 % by BOD parameter in 28 days. Thus, based on percentage degradation,1,2-aminoazophenylene is considered to be not readily biodegradable in nature.

 

Another biodegradation study was conducted for 20 days for evaluating the percentage biodegradability of the same read across substance 1,2-aminoazophenylene (CAS no. 95-14-7) (HPVIS, 2017). The study was performed according to other guideline River die-away test under aerobic conditions. Aniline was used as a reference substance for the study. It undergoes 100% degradation in 14 days. The percentage degradation of substance 1,2 -aminoazophenylene was determined to be 0% by Test mat. analysis (%degradation) parameter in 20 days. Thus, based on percentage degradation, 1,2 -aminoazophenylene is considered to be not readily biodegradable in nature.

 

On the basis of above results for target chemical2-Ethoxy-1-naphthoyl Chloride(from OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3 and EPI suite, 2017) and for its read across substance (from authoritative database J-CHECK and secondary source HPVIS), it can be concluded that the test substance2-Ethoxy-1-naphthoyl Chloridecan be expected to be not readily biodegradable in nature.

The half-life (37.5 days estimated by EPI suite) indicates that the chemical is not persistent in water and the exposure risk to aquatic animals is moderate to low whereas the half-life period of 2-Ethoxy-1-naphthoyl Chloride in sediment is estimated to be 337.5 days (8100 hrs). However, as the percentage release of test chemical into the sediment is less than 1% (i.e, reported as 0.272%), indicates that 2-Ethoxy-1-naphthoyl Chloride is not persistent in sediment.
