Executive summary:

Data available of the read across chemicals has been reviewed to determine the effect of the test chemical on toxicity to microorganisms. The studies are as mentioned below:

Toxicity to micro-organism study was carried out for 3 hours. The study was performed following the OECD Guideline 209 "Activated Sludge, Respiration Inhibition Test" at 21.1°C temperature. Test organism activated sludge (domestic) was obtained from laboratory sewage treatment apparatus (Husman). Test chemical concentration used for the study were 1, 3.2, 10, 32 and 100 mg/l. The test concentrations were not verified analytically. 3,5 -dichlorophenol was used as a reference substance. Oxygen-consumption was measured with an electrode system. The IC50 value of the reference substance 3,5 -dichlorophenol was determined to be within 10 -25 mgO2/l. No significant inhibition of the respiration rate was observed at any concentration. Thus, on the basis of effect on respiration rate of the test organism activated sludge, the EC0 and EC50 value was determined to be 100 and > 100 mg/l.

For the test chemical, toxicity to micro-organism study was carried out for 3 hours. The study was performed following the OECD Guideline 209 "Activated Sludge, Respiration Inhibition Test". Activated sludge (domestic) was used as a test organism. On the basis of effect on respiration rate of the test organism, the EC50 value was determined to be > 100 mg/l.

On the basis of the experimental studies of the read across chemical and applying the weight of evidence approach and by evaluating the effect of test chemical on test organism activated sludge, the 3 hr EC50 value can be expected to be > 100 mg/l.

Description of key information
