Environmental Risk Classification


Predicted Environmental Concentration (PEC)

PEC is calculated according to the following formula:


PEC (μg/L) = (A*109*(100-R))/(365*P*V*D*100) = 1.37*10-6*A(100-R)


PEC = 0.0025 μg/L


Where:

A = 18 kg (total sold amount API in Sweden year 2021, data from IQVIA) (Ref.I)

R = 0 % removal rate (worst case assumption)

P = number of inhabitants in Sweden = 10 *106

V (L/day) = volume of wastewater per capita and day = 200 (ECHA default) (Ref. II)

D = factor for dilution of waste water by surface water flow = 10 (ECHA default) (Ref. II)


Predicted No Effect Concentration (PNEC)


Ecotoxicological studies


Crustacean, water flea (Daphnia magna):

Acute toxicity (OECD 202) (Ref.III)

EC50 48 h (immobility, mortality) = 276 μg/L


Chronic toxicity (OECD 211) (Ref. IV)

EC50 21 day (immobility, reproduction) > 244 μg/L

NOEC 21 d (growth, reproduction) = 244 μg/L

No effects seen at highest concentration tested


Fish, rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss):

Acute toxicity (OECD 203) (Ref. V)

LC50 96 h (mortality) > 950 μg/L

NOEC = 950 μg/L

No effects seen at highest concentration tested


Fish early life stage, fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas):

Chronic toxicity (OECD 210) (Ref. VI)

NOEC 33 d (growth) = 206 μg/L


Algae, green algae (Selenastrum capricornutum) (OECD 201) (Ref. VII):

EC50 96 h (growth rate) > 509 μg/L

NOEC 96 h (cell density, biomass, growth rate) = 41 μg/L


PNEC = 4.1 μg/L (41μg/L / 10 based on the most sensitive chronic NOEC for Selenastrum capricornutum with an assessment factor (AF) of 10)


Environmental risk classification (PEC/PNEC ratio)

PEC/PNEC = 0.0025/4.1 = 6E-04, i.e. PEC/PNEC ≤ 0.1 which justifies the phrase "Use of posaconazole has been considered to result in insignificant environmental risk.”


Degradation

Biotic degradation


Sediment Transformation: (OECD 308) (Ref VIII)

Total system half-life = 0.7 to 13.3 days


Test systems were dosed with 14C-labeled posaconazole at a nominal concentration of 200 ug/L in the water layer. Test systems were incubated in the dark at approximately 20ºC for up to 103 days and maintained under aerobic conditions by gently bubbling air into the water layers. Effluent gasses were passed through charcoal sorbent tubes to trap organic volatiles, followed by alkali solutions to trap evolved carbon dioxide. Duplicate test chambers of each sediment-water type were sacrificed on days 0, 2, 5, 14, 28, 56 and 103. Water layers and sediment layers were extracted and analyzed for total radioactivity by liquid scintillation counting (LSC). The mean percent of applied radioactivity in each fraction is presented in the following table:

Posaconazole disappeared rapidly from the water layers in both test systems by transformation and by partitioning to the sediment layers. The half-lives for Posaconazole were 0.5 and 4.5 days from the Brandywine Creek and Choptank River water layers, respectively.


The mean amounts of posaconazole in the sediment layers increased to a maximum of 4.9% on day 5 in Brandywine Creek samples and 29.3% on day 28 in Choptank River samples. The mean amounts of posaconazole in the total test systems (i.e. water layers extracts plus sediment extracts) at the end of the test were 0.0% and 2.9%, respectively. The half-lives for posaconazole in the total test systems were 0.7 and 13.3 days, respectively.


Through all test intervals, the mean maximum percentages of applied radioactivity recovered as transformation products were 79% on day 2 in Brandywine Creek samples and 75% on day 56 in Choptank River samples. The mean amount of radiolabeled residues that could not be extracted from the sediment layers at the end of the test were 46.5% and 25.7%, respectively. The mean maximum cumulative amount of mineralization or ultimate biodegradation observed from all test jars was <0.5% for both test systems. Total mean recoveries ranged from 94.7% to 102.6% throughout the study.


The calculated half-life of posaconazole and degradates are presented in the

Justification of chosen degradation phrase:

Posaconazole has a half-life less than 32 days. The phrase “Posaconazole is degraded in the environment” is thus chosen.


Bioaccumulation

Partitioning coefficient:

Posaconazole has a measured bioconcentration factor (BCF) of 20 (OECD 305) (Ref IX).


Justification of chosen bioaccumulation phrase:

Since the BCF < 500, the phrase “Posaconazole has low potential for bioaccumulation” is chosen.
