Description of key information
EL50 (48) > 100 mg/L (nominal, Daphnia magna, OECD 202)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Two studies are available testing the short term toxicity of hexadecyl(trimethoxy)silane (CAS No. 16415-12-6) to Daphnia magna. Both studies were performed according to the OECD guideline 202 and GLP standards.
In the key study Daphnia magna was exposed over 48 h to the nominal loading rates of 0 (control), 100 mg/L and 10 mg/l (10% concentration of 100 mg/l water-soluble fraction). The test solutions were analytically monitored via DOC analysis. Since the tested substance is poorly water soluble analytical results showed that measured DOC concentrations were <5% of nominal. An EL50 value of >100 mg/L (nominal loading rate) was determined in this study.
A supporting study is available (1990). Daphnia magna was exposed to a single concentration of 1000 mg/L. No effects on the mobility of Daphnia magna were determined over a study period of 24 h resulting into an EL50 (24 h) of > 1000 mg/L (nominal).
