Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information

(72-hour) EC50: >22 mg/l inhibition of growth rate and biomass Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, reliability 2 (read-across from CAS 78-10-4)
NOEC: ≥22 mg/l inhibition of growth rate and biomass Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, reliability 2 (read-across from CAS 78-10-4)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

There are no reliable data for the substance. However a 72-hour EC50 value of >22 mg/l and a NOEC of ≥22 mg/l have been determined for the effects of the structurally analogous substance, tetraethyl orthosilicate (CAS 78-10-4),on growth rate and biomass of Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata based on geometric mean measured concentrations. The corresponding values expressed relative to nominal concentrations were >100 mg/l and ≥100 mg/l respectively. It is likely that the test organisms were exposed to the hydrolysis products of the substance.

This read-across study is considered to be reliability 1 (reliable without restrictions); however the read across of the results is considered to be reliability 2 (reliable with restrictions)
