Conclusions:

The EC50 value was estimated to be 469.790 mg/l when 2-Ethoxy-1-naphthoyl Chloride exposed to Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata for 72 hrs.

Executive summary:

Based on the prediction done using the OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3 with log kow as the primary descriptor and considering the six closest read across substances, toxicity on Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata (previous names: Raphidocelis subcapitata, Selenastrum capricornutum) was predicted for 2-Ethoxy-1-naphthoyl Chloride (55150-29-3). The EC50 value was estimated to be 469.790 mg/l when 2-Ethoxy-1-naphthoyl Chloride exposed to Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata for 72 hrs. Based on this value it can be concluded that the substance 2-Ethoxy-1-naphthoyl Chloride is considered as nontoxic to aquatic environment as per the criteria mentioned in CLP regulation.

Additional information

Based on the various experimental data and prediction data for the target chemical as well as RA chemical which was selected on the basis of structure similarity study have been reviewed to determine the toxic nature of 2-Ethoxy-1-naphthoyl Chloride (55150-29-3) on the growth of algae. The studies are as mentioned below: 

In the first predicted weight of evidence report for the 2-Ethoxy-1-naphthoyl Chloride (55150-29-3) from SSS (QSAR, 2017) toxicity study was carried out. Based on the prediction done using the OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3 with log kow as the primary descriptor and considering the six closest read across substances, toxicity on Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata (previous names: Raphidocelis subcapitata, Selenastrum capricornutum) was predicted for 2-Ethoxy-1-naphthoyl Chloride (55150-29-3). The EC50 value was estimated to be 469.790 mg/l when 2-Ethoxy-1-naphthoyl Chloride exposed to Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata for 72 hrs. Based on this value it can be concluded that the substance 2-Ethoxy-1-naphthoyl Chloride is considered as nontoxic to aquatic environment as per the criteria mentioned in CLP regulation. 

 

Similarly in the second weight of evidence study for the read across 1,1 -dimethylpropyl methyl ether (994-05-8), HSDB 2017. Short term toxicity to Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata study was carried out for 72 hrs. The study was based on the effects of the test compound 1,1 -dimethylpropyl methyl ether on Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata (green algae) in a static fresh water system at a temperature of 22.6 – 23.9°C and pH of 7.9 – 9.7, respectively. Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata (green algae) was used as a test organism at an initial cell density of 1 × 104cells/ml.Based on the effect on population abundance of test organism Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, the 72 hr EC50 value was determined to be > 100 mg/l, respectively. Thus, based on the EC50 value, it can be concluded that the substance 1,1 -dimethylpropyl methyl ether can be considered as non-toxic to Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata at environmentally relevant concentrations and can be considered to be not-classified as per the CLP classification criteria.

 

Similarly in the third weight of evidence study for the read across chemical Phenyltrichlorosilane (98-13-5), SIDS dossier 2013. Short term toxicity study of the chemical Phenyltrichlorosilane on the growth of green algae was observed by the exposure of chemical for 72hrs. Test was performed by static method in Erlenmeyer flasks with different concentrations 0, 6.25, 12.5, 25.0, 50.0 and 100 mg/L. A 100 mg test item/L stock solution was prepared prior to test initiation by adding 176 μL of the dosing stock solution to 800 mL algal medium using a Hamilton syringe. Thereafter, the stock solution was further diluted to a final volume of 1000 mL with algal medium, resulting in a solvent (THF) concentration of 0.10 mL/L. initial cells density was394 x 104 cells/mL. Cell concentration and all other parameters was checked and maintained. The growth rate and biomass was observed in the interval of 24hrs. After the 72hrs of exposure the NOEC was ≥ 100 mg/l and the EC50 was > 100 mg/l on the basis of biomass and growth rate. Thus based on the EC50, the chemical was nontoxic and can be consider to be not classified as toxic as per the CLP classification criteria.

 

Similarly in the fourth weight of evidence study for the read across 1,1 -dimethylpropyl methyl ether (994-05-8), from OECD SIDS Initial Assessment Report 2005. Short term toxicity to Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata study was carried out for 72 hrs. The study was based on the effects of the test compound 1,1 -dimethylpropyl methyl ether (CAS no. 994 -05 -8) on Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata (green algae) in a static fresh water system. Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata (green algae) was used as a test organism. Based on the effect on biomass and growth rate of test organism Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, the 72 hr EC50 value was determined to be 230 and 780 mg/l and the 72 hr NOEC value was determined to be 77 mg/l, respectively. Thus, based on the EC50 value, it can be concluded that the substance 1,1 -dimethylpropyl methyl ether can be considered as non-toxic to Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata at environmentally relevant concentrations and can be considered to be not-classified as per the CLP classification criteria.

 

Thus based on the above data sources for target chemical 2-Ethoxy-1-naphthoyl Chloride (55150-29-3)  from various experimental studies and predicted studies from QSAR, HSDB, and OECD SIDS dossier it was summarized that the chemical was nontoxic and can be consider to be not classified as toxic as per the CLP classification criteria.
