Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information
Additional information
Concerning aquatic short-term toxicity effects, tests for representatives of each trophic level (fish, Daphnia, algae, microorganisms) are available. For fish and Daphnia, studies with an aqueous solution of silicic acid, lithium salt are available, whereas for microorganisms, algae and additionally for fish, studies with a structurally related compound (sodium silicate) were considered. The test results presented hereby confirmed that the toxicity profile of silicic acid, lithium salt for aquatic species is of low concern. The most sensitive species were algae with an EC50 of 207 mg/L (biomass). For Daphnia and fish, comparable effect concentrations were reported with an LC50 in the range of 260-310 mg/L for fish, and an EC50 of > 220 mg/L for Daphnia, respectively.
Long-term toxicity data are available for algae which have been shown to be the most sensitive organisms in short-term toxicity tests, with an EC0 of 35 mg/L (biomass). As fish and daphnids were equally sensitive in acute testing, further chronic testing is not considered necessary and hence, was not conducted due to animal welfare.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
