Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
Silicophosphonate is not toxic to the water flea Daphnia magna under the reported test conditions.
Executive summary:

In a 48 h static acute toxicity tests to daphnia according to no significant effects were seen up to a concentration of 100 mg/L. The EC0 is 100mg/L. Both the EC50 and EC100 are greater 100 mg/L. Thus silicophosphonate is not toxic to the water flea Daphnia magna under the reported test conditions.
