Description of key information
WOE: 72-hour ErC50 >100 mg/l and NOErC =100 mg/l (nominal, highest concentration tested) (EU C.3), Desmodesmus subspicatus. The ErC50 and NOErC values are equivalent to >83 mg/l and =83 mg/l when expressed in terms of the silanol hydrolysis product, 3-(trihydroxysilyl)propyl methacrylate.
WOE: 72-hour ErC50 >536 mg/l and ErC10 503 mg/l (nominal, highest concentration tested) (EU C.3), Desmodesmus subspicatus. The ErC50 and ErC10 values are equivalent to >445 mg/l and 418 mg/l when expressed in terms of the silanol hydrolysis product, 3-(trihydroxysilyl)propyl methacrylate.

- 418 mg/L
Additional information
72-hour ErC50 and NOErC values of >100 mg/l and =100 mg/l (nominal, highest concentration tested) have been determined for the effects of the registration substance, 3-trimethoxysilylpropyl methacrylate (CAS 2530-85-0, EC 219-785-8), on the growth rate of Desmodesmus subspicatus (reported as: Scenedesmus subspicatus) (Momentive, 2002c). Analysis of the tested substance by atomic absorption spectrophotometry was conducted, which does not differentiate between the parent substance and the silanol hydrolysis product. The mean measured concentrations of the highest treatment concentration did not deviate by more than 20% when compared to nominal concentrations. Therefore, concentrations have been reported in terms of nominal concentrations. The test was conducted according to EU Method C.3 and in compliance with GLP. 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, 3-(trihydroxysilyl)propyl methacrylate and methanol.
The results may be expressed in terms of concentration of the silanol hydrolysis product, 3-(trihydroxysilyl)propyl methacrylate, by applying a molecular weight correction: (MW of silanol = 206.27 / MW of parent = 248.35) * >100 = >83 mg/l.
A second study reported 72-hour ErC50 and ErC10 values of >536 mg/l (nominal, highest concentration tested) and 503 mg/l (nominal), respectively, for the effects of the registration substance, 3-trimethoxysilylpropyl methacrylate (CAS 2530-85-0, EC 219-785-8), on the growth rate of Desmodesmus subspicatus (reported as: Scenedesmus subspicatus) (Evonik, 2000b). The concentration of dissolved organic carbon in the stock solution and test media was determined by Total Organic Carbon analysis and the mean measured concentrations did not deviate by more than 20% when compared to nominal concentrations, with the exception of the lowest treatment concentration. Therefore, concentrations have been reported in terms of nominal concentrations. There is potential for oligomerisation to have occurred during preparation of the stock, however, high recoveries at the end of the test indicate that precipitation did not occur to a significant extent. At the loading levels corresponding to the ErC50 and ErC10 the concentration of monomeric silanol should have been stable in the test medium.
The results may be expressed in terms of concentration of the silanol hydrolysis product, 3-(trihydroxysilyl)propyl methacrylate, by applying a molecular weight correction: (MW of silanol = 206.27 / MW of parent = 248.35) * >536 and 503 = >445 mg/l and 418 mg/l, respectively.
Both of these reliable studies provide useful weight of evidence for the hazard assessment.
