Short-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- short-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 2002-05-10 to 2002-08-14
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: see 'Remark'
- Remarks:
- Guideline study with restrictions. The study was conducted according to an appropriate OECD test guideline, with acceptable restrictions. The restrictions were that the 10 mg/l nominal loading rate test medium was prepared by dilution of the filtered stock dispersion. This is not in agreement with OECD guidance. As a result, there is uncertainty over the properties of this test medium and the results can only be interpreted with reference to the highest treatment. An equivalent 48-h EC50 value has been determined by the reviewer based on a consideration of the measured dissolved organic carbon concentrations in the test media.
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- OECD Guideline 202 (Daphnia sp. Acute Immobilisation Test)

- Remarks:
- The test media were not prepared in accordance with OECD guidance for testing difficult substances.

- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION
- Method: A stock suspension of the test substance was prepared at a nominal loading rate of 100 mg/L by shaking for 48 hours. The suspension was then filtered through a 0.45 μm cellulose acetate filter. Further treatments were prepared by dilution of the resulting stock solution.

Measured concentrations were <5% of the theoretical values at the start and end of the test.
The results are expressed in the test report relative to nominal concentrations (loading rates). The results have been further interpreted by the reviewer been based on a consideration of the measured dissolved organic carbon concentrations in the test media. - Details on test conditions:

- Nominal / measured:

- Conc. based on:
- test mat.
- Basis for effect:
- mobility
- Remarks on result:
- other: exposure is expected to be predominantly to the hydrolysis products
- Duration:
- 48 h
- Dose descriptor:
- NOELR
- Effect conc.:
- < 100 mg/L
- Nominal / measured:
- nominal
- Conc. based on:
- test mat.
- Remarks:
- but exposure is to hydrolysis products
- Basis for effect:
- mobility
- Remarks on result:
- other: exposure is expected to be predominantly to the hydrolysis products
- Details on results:
- - Immobilisation of control: 5%
- Any observations (e.g. precipitation) that might cause a difference between measured and nominal values: It is speculated in the test report that the lack of agreement between nominal and measured exposure concentrations may be a consequence of the hydrolysis of the test substance and low solubility of the substance and its hydrolysis products.
- Effect concentrations exceeding solubility of substance in test medium: It is possible that the solubility of the test substance and/or its hydrolysis products was exceeded in the test. - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- There were insufficient levels of immobilisation to determine a definitive EL50 value. The NOELR has been reassessed by the reviewer in light of the lack of agreement between nominal and measured exposure concentrations. An equivalent 48 h EC50 has been determined by the reviewer based on a consideration of measured DOC concentrations in the test media back-calculated to equivalent test substance concentrations.
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- A 48 h EL50 value of >100 mg/L and a NOELR of <100 mg/L have been determined for the effects of the test substance on mobility of Daphnia magna based on nominal loading rate. It is likely that the test organisms were exposed to the hydrolysis product of the test substance. An equivalent 48 h EC50 of >0.000005 mg/l and NOEC of <0.000005 mg/l have therefore been determined by the reviewer based on a consideration of the solubility of the hydrolysis product. It is possible that the hydrolysis product has surface active properties.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
One study is available testing the short term toxicity of chloro(dimethyl)octadecylsilane (CAS 18643-08-8) to aquatic invertebrates according to OECD 202 and GLP (2003). Daphnia magna was exposed to the nominal concentrations of 0 (control), 10 mg/L and 100 mg/L for 48 h. The test item solution was prepared by mixing 100 mg test item/L, shaking for 48 h and filtering through a 0.45 µm filter. An EC50 (48 h) of > 100 mg/L (nominal) was determined in the study. Due to rapid hydrolysis of the substance in aqueous environments, it is very likely that the test organisms were mainly exposed to the hydrolysis products of the test substance.
