Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Reference
Endpoint:
activated sludge respiration inhibition testing
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
In-life initiated/completed: 28-Jan-1998 to 26-Oct-1998
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
comparable to guideline study
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 209 (Activated Sludge, Respiration Inhibition Test
Deviations:
not specified
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Test temperature:
20 ± 2°C
pH:
7.0
Details on test conditions:
Test concentrations (mg/L): 100; 1000; 10 000
Test substance concentration in physico-chemical oxygen consumption control (mg/L): 10 000
Type of application: direct weighing
Test concentration of the activated sludge: 320 mg/L
Incubation time: 30 minutes with permanent aeration
Reference substance (positive control):
yes
Remarks:
3,5-dichlorophenol
Key result
Duration:
3 h
Dose descriptor:
EC50
Effect conc.:
10 000 mg/L
Nominal / measured:
nominal
Conc. based on:
test mat.
Basis for effect:
inhibition of total respiration
Results with reference substance (positive control):
Reference substance: 3,5-Dichlorophenol
EC50 = 13 mg/L
Reported statistics and error estimates:
The EC values were determined by statistical methods: probit analysis
Conclusions:
Toxicity to activated sludge: EC50 > 10000 (mg/L)
Executive summary:

The substance causes no effect to the bacterial population, therefore no damage of the selfpurification of the surface water is to be expected.

Description of key information

Activated sludge containing the test material (mixed population of different micro-organisms) was exposed for 3 hours to nominal concentrations of 100, 1000 and 10000 mg/L. The EC50 was determined as >10000 mg/L, indicating no activity of spirodiclofen on activated sludge.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

EC50 for microorganisms:
10 000 mg/L
