Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 inhibition of the degradation activity of activated sludge is not anticipated when introduced in appropriate low concentrations.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The respiration rate of microorganisms in presence of DL-Alpha-Tocopheryl acetate was tested by a oxygen consumption test according to ROBRA focusing on the respiration of Pseudomonas putida. After 30 minutes an EC50 > 10000 mg/l was determined (BASF AG, 1991). Changes in the respiration rate of activated sludge as induced by DL-Alpha-Tocopheryl acetate were studied in a test performed in compliance with ISO 8192. An EC20 > 927 mg/l was determined after an inoculation time of 30 minutes.

As EC50 values are used as the basis for the calculation of a PNECstp, the study with Pseudomonas putida (BASF AG, 1991) is selected as key study.
