12. Ecological Considerations
Reproductive Toxicity: Octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane administered to rats by whole body inhalation at concentrations of 500 and 700
ppm for 70 days prior to mating, through mating, gestation and lactation resulted in decreases in live litter size.
Additionally, increases in the incidence of deliveries of offspring extending over an unusually long time period
(dystocia) were observed at these concentrations. Statistically significant alterations in these parameters were
not observed in the lower concentrations evaluated (300 and 70 ppm). In a previous range-finding study, rats
exposed to vapor concentrations of 700 ppm had decreases in the number of implantation sites and live litter
size. The significance of these findings to humans is not known. (Octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane)
Specific target organ toxicity Not available
– single exposure:
Specific target organ toxicity Repeated inhalation or oral exposure of mice and rats to Octamethylcycotetrasiloxane produced an increase in
– repeated exposure: liver size. No gross histopathological or significant clinical chemistry effects were observed. An increase in liver
metabolizing enzymes, as well as a transient increase in the number of normal cells (hyperplasia) followed by
an increase in cell size (hypertrophy) were determined to be the underlying causes of the liver enlargement.
The biochemical mechanisms producing these effects are highly sensitive in rodents, while similar mechanisms
in humans are insensitive. A two year combined chronic and carcinogenicity assay was conducted on
Octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane. Rats were exposed by whole-body vapor inhalation 6hrs /day, 5 days a week for
up to 104 weeks to 0, 10, 30, 150 or 700 ppm of Octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane. The increase in incidence of
(uterine) endometrial cell hyperplasia and uterine adenomas (benign tumors) were observed in female rats at
700 ppm. Since these effects only occurred at 700 ppm, a level that greatly exceeds typical workplace or
consumer exposure, it is unlikely that industrial, commercial or consumer uses of products containing
Octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane would result in a significant risk to humans. (Octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane)
Aspiration hazard: The substance or mixture is known to cause human aspiration toxicity hazards or has to be regarded as if it
causes a human aspiration toxicity hazard. Distillates (petroleum), hydrotreated middle
Chronic effects: Prolonged inhalation may be harmful. Prolonged exposure may cause chronic effects.
