- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION
- Method: A dosing stock solution was prepared by mixing 1.87 mL (density 1.07 g/mL) of Trichloro(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl)silane (corresponding to 2 g) with 2.0 mL of tetrahydrofuran (THF) using a Hamilton syringe. The 100 mg test item/L test solution was prepared prior to test initiation by adding 0.485 mL of the dosing stock solution to approximately 1.7 to 1.8 L dilution water using a Hamilton syringe. Prior to addition of the dosing stock solution, the glass beaker containing the dilution water was placed on a magnetic stirrer. This procedure was repeated three times and the resulting solutions combined. The spiked solution was stirred continuously over night. The pH of the solution was then adjusted to 7.0 with 1 N sodium
hydroxide (NaOH). Thereafter, the test solution was further diluted to a final volume of 10 L with dilution water, resulting in a solvent (THF) concentration of 0.10 mL/L. The resulting test solution was mixed for 30 seconds using a glass rod and observed to be clear and colorless, with no visible undissolved test item. - Test organisms (species):
- Oncorhynchus mykiss (previous name: Salmo gairdneri)
- Details on test organisms:
- TEST ORGANISM
- Source: The trout were originally obtained from Forellenzucht P. Hohler-Gasser, a commercial supplier located in Zeiningen, Switzerland.
- Length at study initiation (length definition, mean, range and SD): 34 mm (range 29 to 39 mm)
- Weight at study initiation (mean and range, SD): 0.42 g (range 0.20 to 0.63 g)
- Feeding during test: Fish were not fed during the 24-hour period prior to test initiation and during the exposure period.
ACCLIMATION
- Acclimation conditions (same as test or not): Prior to testing, the fish were maintained in a holding tank (under renewal conditions) under a photoperiod of 16 hours light and 8 hours darkness with a 30 minute transition period. The culture water was modified well water from the municipality of Horn, deionized with a Culligan Reverse Osmosis system. The deionized well water was reconstituted according to the formulation given in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
- Feeding: The fish were fed Hokovit 502, a dry, commercially available food, generally once daily.

TEST MEDIUM / WATER PARAMETERS
- Source/preparation of dilution water: The dilution water used during the definitive test had a pH of 7.64, a total hardness and alkalinity as CaCO3 of 160 and 26 mg/L, respectively, and a specific conductivity of 400 μS/cm.
- Culture medium different from test medium: No
- Intervals of water quality measurement: The pH, dissolved oxygen concentration and temperature were measured at 0, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours in each test solution. Continuous temperature monitoring was performed in the control solution throughout the exposure period.
OTHER TEST CONDITIONS
- Photoperiod: A 16-hour light, 8-hour dark photoperiod was maintained with an automatic timer.
- Light intensity: The test was illuminated to a light intensity of 200 to 500 lux using fluorescent bulbs.
EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED: All test vessels were examined at 0, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours of exposure for mortality. In addition observations of the physical characteristics of the test solutions (e.g., clear solution, precipitate, film on the surface of the test solution) were made and recorded at each 24-hour interval. Biological observations, including adverse effects on the exposed trout, were performed and recorded at each 24-hour interval. Effects for this study were based on mortality, defined as the lack of movement by the exposed organisms (i.e., absence of gill movement and reaction to gentle prodding). - Reference substance (positive control):

- Details on results:
- - Behavioural abnormalities: 0
- Mortality of control: 0
- Other adverse effects control: 0
- Abnormal responses: 0 - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- Since no 50% mortality was observed during the 96 hours of exposure, no 24-, 48-, 72- and 96-hour median lethal concentrations (LC50) were calculated. Based on the nature of the raw data, the LC50 values were empirically estimated as > 100 mg test item/L.
The No-Observed-Effect Concentration (NOEC) during the 96-hour exposure period was determined by visual observation. The NOEC is defined as the highest concentration tested at and below which there were no toxicant-related effects and mortality with respect to the control
organisms. - Sublethal observations / clinical signs:
There were no effects on mortality in the Controls or in the 100 mg/L nominal treatment.
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- A 96-h LC50 value of >100 mg/L and NOEC of ≥100 mg/L have been determined for the effects of the substance on mortality of Oncorhynchus mykiss based on nominal concentration. It is likely that the test organisms were primarily exposed to the hydrolysis products of the substance.

Additional information
Measured acute data on the toxicity towards fish was not available for trimethoxy(2,4,4 -trimethylpentyl)silane (CAS No. 03439-03-7), therefore data was read-across from the structural analogue substance trichloro(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl)silane (CAS No. 18379-25-4) for the assessment of acute toxicity towards fish. Both substances hydrolyse rapidly in the aquatic environment (DT50 = 5.7 h at 20 -25 °C and pH 7 (target); DT50 < 1 min at 1.5 °C and pH 7 (source)) to form the same silanol hydrolysis product (2,4,4 trimethylpentyl)silanetriol. The second hydrolysis product of the target substance is methanol, while the second hydrolysis product of the source compound is hydrochloric acid. Methanol and hydrochloric acid are both well described substances in the public domain literature and both are not expected to contribute to the overall aquatic toxicity of target and source substances (OECD SIDS, 2002; OECD SIDS 2004). Therefore, methanol and hydrochloric acid can be disregarded in the environmental hazard assessment. Further information can be found in an attached read-across justification in Section 13 of IUCLID.
In the valid acute fish toxicity test according to OECD guideline 203 and under GLP conditions, Oncorhynchus mykiss was exposed to trichloro(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl)silane (Springborn Smithers, 2010). In the 96-h limit test, the LC50 value of > 100 mg/L and NOEC of ≥ 100 mg/l have been determined for the effects of the substance on mortality of Oncorhynchus mykiss based on nominal concentration.
The result was obtained under static test conditions. In view of the test media preparation method and exposure regime it is likely that the test organisms were exposed predominantly to the hydrolysis products of the tested substance.
