Description of key information
Currently, no aquatic studies are available with ammonium hexafluorosilicate. However, sodium hexafluorosilicate has been evaluated for the potential to cause toxicity to Daphnia magna and freshwater green alga Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata. The studies were performed in accordance to OECD Guidelines 202 and 201 and in compliance with GLP.
Additional information
Daphnia was exposed to sodium hexafluorosilicate in water solutions of concentrations of 6.25, 12.5, 25.0, 50.0 and 100 mg/L. In this study, 48 h EC50 was determined to be 35.4 mg/l and NOEC and NOEL were calculated to be 25 & 50 mg/l respectively.
In alga test the EC50-values with 95 % confidence intervals for inhibition of specific growth rate (ErC50) and yield (EyC50) after 72 hours were 18.0 (16.6 – 19.6) mg/L and 14.9 (10.6 – 27.8) mg/L, respectively. The NOEC-value for inhibition of specific growth rate and yield after 72 hours was 10.0 mg/L.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation).
