Description of key information

The inhibition of the degradation activity of activated sludge is not anticipated when introduced in appropriately low concentrations.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

EC50 for microorganisms:
1 000 mg/L
EC10 or NOEC for microorganisms:
1 000 mg/L

Additional information

The effect of the test substance on the respiration of the industrial activated sludge micro-organisms reported a 3 -hour EC50 value of greater than 1,000 mg/L. The NOEC after 3 hours exposure was >/= 1000 mg/L. The study was conducted according to OECD Guideline 209 (Activated Sludge, Respiration Inhibition Test) and in compliance with GLP.

Therefore, it can be concluded, that the inhibition of the degradation activity of activated sludge is not anticipated when introduced in appropriate low concentrations.
