Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Linear CaDDBs is a readily biodegradable substance (see section 5.2.1). Toxicity to micro-organisms is not a required endpoint for readily biodegradable substances because the tests demonstrate there is no inhibition to microbial viability.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The study determined the toxicity of three commercial linear alkylbenzene sulphonate sodium salt (LAS) products to the activated sludge of a treatment plant basically operating on domestic sewage. A contact time of 3 hours instead of 15 minutes was chosen to better simulate the real residence time used in wastewater treatment plants (4-6 hours). The EC50values are far above maximum raw sewage concentrations of 6 -8 mg/L and therefore provide a high margin of safety. The 3-hour EC50range for the reference substance (3,5-dichlorophenol) ranged from 20-30 mg/L, within the valid range of 5-30 mg/L.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
