Test organisms (species):

Gambusia affinis

Details on test organisms:

TEST ORGANISM
- Common name: Mosquito fish
- Source: The fishes were all collected from Stillwater Creek in Payne County, Okla., where they encountered turbidity in their normal habitat.
- Age at study initiation (mean and range, SD): Practically all the fishes used were adult females.
- Feeding during test: No

ACCLIMATION
- Acclimation period: The fishes were kept in the laboratory for a period of two to three weeks.
- Type and amount of food: Plankton and detritus, collected locally, were given to the fishes along with various artificial foods.
- Feeding frequency: They were fed as necessary to maintain a healthy condition.
- Health during acclimation period: Many cases of a tail-rot disease were observed in the holding tanks. The tail would begin turning white just in front of the fin, the white area progressing rapidly forward until the fish died. The causative agent was not discovered. Many specimens were lost to this disease until it was discovered that a small amount of terramycin sprinkled on the surface of the water would almost completely eliminate further losses from the disease.

Test type:

Nominal and measured concentrations:

Nominal concentrations:
The concentrations used for the first experiment were 10, 18, 32, 56 and 100 ppm. When deaths did not occur at these concentrations within 96 hours the same series was run between 100 and 1000 ppm (100, 180, 320, 560, and 1000 mg/L).

Details on test conditions:

TEST SYSTEM
- The experimental aquaria were cylindrical pyrex jars 12 in. high and 12 in. in diameter. Each jar contained 15 L of water at the beginning of the test and water was not replaced.
- Artificial aeration from a compressor served to maintain the oxygen level, to mix the chemical into the water, and to disperse the turbidity-producing soil as long as possible in the mixture.
- No. of organisms per vessel: Ten fishes were used in each aquarium during all experiments and a control aquarium was always maintained with 10 fishes.

TEST MEDIUM / WATER PARAMETERS
- The water used for experimental dilutions and in the control aquaria was brought into the laboratory from two farm ponds. These ponds had a long history of high turbidity.
- The turbid water was carried from the ponds (approximately two miles) in 10-gal. milk cans and immediately emptied into the test aquaria, where it
was allowed to cool or warm to room temperature.
- Intervals of water quality measurement: The temperature, turbidity, and pH of the experimental water were measured after the test substance was added and daily throughout the experiment.

Remarks:

A scientific, very well documented approach. No GLP

Principles of method if other than guideline:

Fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas), were used in this study. The temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO) (Weston and Stock DO analyzer), and pH of the solutions were measured prior to beginning each study and at 24-hr intervals thereafter. The desired pH of the solutions at the beginning of exposure was 6.5-8.5. The fish in each aquarium were observed closely for the first 4-8 hr and at 24, 48, 72, and 96 hr. 20 fathead minnows were placed in each aquarium. The time required to kill 50% of the fish (LTE„) was approximated by visually fitting a straight line, on log-probability paper, to the observed data. Aquaria with no contaminant added were run with each set of tests as experimental controls but only rarely did a control fish die.

REPORTING FORMAT FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH
Triacetoxyvinylsilane undergoes rapid hydrolysis in aqueous to acetic acid and the corresponding trisilanols. Trisilanols undergo continuous condensation reactions to produce higher molecular weight siloxanes which are considered biologically unavailable. Therefore, the observed toxicity is likely due to the acetic acid and their values are comparable.

Additional information

Weight of evidence:

Read-across from experimental results with acetic acid:

In the first study, Wallen et. al., 1957 (reliability 2), an acute toxicity testwas performed according to OECD Guideline 302. The LC50 (based on mortality) of test material, acetic acid, in Gambusia affinis for 96h exposure period was 251 mg/L. Based on this experimental result, read-across approach was applied and LC50 (96h, based on mortality) for triacetoxyvinylsilane was calculated to be 323.62 mg/L.

In the study of Juhnke et. al, 1978 (reliability 2), an acute toxicity test was performed according to German Standard Method for Waste Water and Sludge of 1976 with test material acetic acid. The LC50 for 48h toxicity on the golden orfe (Leuscicus idul melanotus) was 410 mg/L (basis for effect: mortality). Based on this result, read-across approach was applied and LC50 (48h, based on mortality) for triacetoxyvinylsilane was calculated to be 528.62 mg/L.

In the study of Mattson et. al., 1976 (reliability 2), Fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) were exposed under static conditions to a series of concentrations of acetic acid. The 96 h LC50 was 79-88 mg/L (basis for effect: mortality). Based on this experimental result obtained with the supporting substance acetic acid, read-across approach was applied and the LC50 (96h) for triacetoxyvinylsilane was calculated to be 101.86 -113.46 mg/L (bassis for effect: mortality).

Supporting studies:

Read-across from experimental results with sodium acetate:

There are two supporting studies from DeYoung et. al., 1996 and Terhaar et. al., 1972, both with reliability 2 performed for the supporting substance sodium acetate. In the first one and based on the experimental results (120h LC50 = 13330 mg/L for Pimephales promelas), read-across approach was applied and the 120h LC50 for triacetoxyvinylsilane was calculated to be 12580 mg/L. In the second study and based on the experimental results (96h LC50 = 10000 mg/L for Pimephales promelas), the read-across approach was applied and the 96h LC50 for triacetoxyvinylsilane was calculated to be 9440 mg/L.

According to the available information on short-term toxicity to fish, could be pointed out that the toxicity of triacetoxyvinylsilane is caused by the pH effect of acetic acid since the read-across approach applied from experimental data with acetic acid (LC50 (96): 323.62 mg/L; LC50 (48h): 528.62; LC (96h): 101.86-113.46 mg/L) is much more restrictive than the values obtained with the read-across approach from experimental data with sodium acetate, the neutralised form of the acid (LC50 (120h): 12580 mg/L); LC50 (96h): 9440 mg/L).

Key value for chemical safety assessment:

According to the read-across approaches from experimental results with supporting substance acetic acid, the triacetoxyvinylsilane key value for chemical safety assessment is calculated to be LC50 = 101.86 mg/L (based on mortality). This value is the most restrictive and it was obtain by read-across approach from the reliable study by Mattson et.al., 1976.
