Results and discussion

Effect levels
Key result
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
7.5 mL/kg bw
95% CL:
>= 6 - <= 9.37
Remarks on result:
other: Assuming a density of 1.07g/cm3 this gives an LD50 of 8025 mg/kg bw
Mortality:
See Table 1.
Clinical signs:
other: Piloerection and lethargy within one hour of administration, followed by coma and death. All deaths occurred within 48 hours of administration and all survivors were generally asymptomatic after this time.
Gross pathology:
Not examined.
Other findings:
None reported.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In an acute oral toxicity study (reliability 2), that was conducted using a protocol similar to the now deleted OECD 401 (animals not weighed and no necropsies performed), but not to GLP, the LD50 for gamma-glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane was 7.5 ml/kg bw (assuming a density of 1.07 g/cm3 this gives an LD50 of 8025 mg/kg bw).
Executive summary:
