Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
The lowest threshold level (40-min EC50) was 2590 mg/L in aerobic domestic sludge.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- EC50 for microorganisms:
- 2 590 mg/L
Additional information
The toxicity of dichloromethane to activated sludge was evaluated by a simple respirometric procedure set up on the basis of OECD Method 209 (Ricco et al., 2004). The exposure duration, however, was only 40 minutes. Several other studies were available; however these studies were either less relevant for toxicity towards STP-organisms or the toxicity values were indecisive (greater than values). Therefore the study by Ricco et al. (2004) was used in the assessment
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.
