EC50 (3 h): > 100 mg/L test mat. (nominal) based on respiration rate
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
A 3-hour activated sludge respiration inhibition test was performed using activated sludge from a domestic waste treatment plant according to OECD 209. The sludge microorganisms were exposed to five concentration of the test substance at nominal concentrations of 10, 20, 40, 80, and 100 mg/L. The respiration rate, expressed as oxygen consumption by the microbes in mg O2 per liter per hour, was measured under defined conditions following the 3-hour exposure period. Inhibition values were calculated by comparing test respiration rates to negative control rates. The test was valid because the respiration rates of the negative controls were within 15% and the EC50 of the reference substance, 3,5-dichlorophenol, was within the range of 5 to 30 mg/L.
Under the conditions of the test, there was no significant activated sludge respiration inhibition at concentrations of the test substance as high as 100 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.
