- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION
- Method: A supersaturated stock suspension of the test substance was prepared at a nominal concentration of 100 mg/l by stirring 49 mg of the test substance in 500 ml of dilution water for 6 hours in the dark. At the end of this time it was anticipated that the substance would have converted to its hydrolysis product dicyclopentylsilanediol. The suspension was passed through a folded filter paper and after discarding the first 50 ml was diluted 1:10 and 1:32 as the two highest treatments. The 1:10 dilution was then further diluted to produce 1:100 and 1:320 dilutions. The 1:100 dilution was again diluted to produce 1:1000 and 1:3200 dilutions. Finally the 1:1000 dilution was used to prepare a 1:10000 dilution.

Additional information
A 48-hour EC50 nominal value of 12 mg/l (estimated, based on stock solution DOC measurement) has been reported for the effects of dicyclopentyl(dimethoxy)silane (CAS 126990-35-0) on the immobility of the freshwater invertebrate Daphnia magna (Hüls, 1995e). The test organisms would have been exposed to a mixture of the parent compound and the hydrolysis product.
A 48-h EC50 value of 2.9 mg/l (measured) has been determined for the effects of the read-across test substance, dichloro(dicyclopentyl)silane (CAS 139147-73-2),
on mobility of Daphnia magna (RCC, 1998). A NOEC of 0.7 mg/l has been determined in the same test. The test organisms were exposed to the pre-hydrolysed form of dichloro(dicyclopentyl)silane, i.e. the silanol hydrolysis product diyclopentylsilanediol. The read-across from dichloro(dicyclopentyl)silane to dicyclopentyl(dimethoxy)silane is considered to be reliable because both dicyclopentyl(dimethoxy)silane and dichloro(dicyclopentyl)silane hydrolyse in contact with water to produce dicyclopentylsilanediol. The other hydorolysis products are methanol and hydrochloric acid respectively; the properties of these substances are well characterised
Methanol is non-hazardous to the aquatic environment at the concentrations relevant to this assessment and it is considered unlikely that its presence would significantly affect the outcome of tests performed with dicyclopentyl(dimethoxy)silane.
Effects of hydrochloric acid on aquatic organisms are limited to those that result from changes to pH in unbuffered media (see IUCLID Section 6, Ecotoxicological Information discussion, and Section 7.0 of the CSR for further details).
Both the studies conducted with dicyclopentyl(dimethoxy)silane (Hüls, 1995e) and the hydrolysis product dicyclopentylsilanediol (RCC, 1998) have been used as key studies for the assessment of short-term toxicity to invertebrates.
Other studies report EC50 values in the range 0.66 to 15 mg/l; however the studies are all reliability 4. In the La Noyearie (1989) and Corning Hazelton (1996b) studies it was not possible to correlate nominal and actual concentration because the test medium were prepared by diluting a single stock solution that had partially hydrolysed. Additionally, the test substance concentrations could not or were not determined analytically in solution, and the test media were prepared in excess of the limit of solubility. However, while the Corning Hazelton (1996b) has been assigned reliability 4 due to the potential for nominal and exposure concentrations to be poorly correlated, the study does provide evidence that the registered substance is toxic to freshwater invertebrates. One other available result is from a summary report to which reliability could not be assigned due to lack of information; the report presents the same result reported in La Noyearie (1989).
