Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Administrative data

Endpoint:
activated sludge respiration inhibition testing
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: GLP guideline study

Data source

Reference
Reference Type:
study report
Title:
Unnamed
Year:
1992
Report date:
1992

Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 209 (Activated Sludge, Respiration Inhibition Test
Version / remarks:
(1984)
Deviations:
yes
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Instead of a centrifuged sludge a settled sludge was used. Due to the poor solubility of the test substance at test concentrations, no stock solution was prepared. The test substance was given directly into the medium. Therefore, a constant factor between the test concentrations could not been achieved.
GLP compliance:
yes

Test material

Constituent 1
Chemical structure
Reference substance name:
2,2-difluoro-2H-1,3-benzodioxole-4-carbaldehyde
EC Number:
700-476-6
Cas Number:
119895-68-0
Molecular formula:
C8H4F2O3
IUPAC Name:
2,2-difluoro-2H-1,3-benzodioxole-4-carbaldehyde

Test organisms

Test organisms (species):
activated sludge
Details on inoculum:
Activated sludge collected from the sewage treatment plant of CH-4153 Reinach on 13/04/92. The pH after collection was 7.6.
The preparation was carried out according to the method described in the guideline. The sludge was separated from the aqueous layer by settling instead of centrifugation.
