Description of key information
The inhibition of nitrification of Nitrosomonas bacteria exposed to 1,2-dichlorobenzene was investigated by Blum and Speece (1991) using a method similar to ISO DIS 9509. The IC50 (24 h) was reported as 47 mg/L.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- EC50 for microorganisms:
- 47 mg/L
Additional information
The inhibition of nitrification of Nitrosomonas bacteria exposed to 1,2-dichlorobenzene was investigated by Blum and Speece (1991) using a method similar to ISO DIS 9509. The IC50 (24 h) was reported as 47 mg/L.
A number of additional studies (Boyles (1980), McFeters et al (1983), Ribo and Kaiser (1983))) reported lower concentrations but these are not considered as reliable as they were conducted using unsuitable test systems for the assessment of microorganisms in sewage treatment plants e.g. test organisms were marine species. Furthermore, tests with Pseudomonas putida (Bringnamm and Kuehn (1976, 1977, 1980)) are recommended to be used only in cases where no other test results are available.
Therefore the 24 h IC50 of 47 mg/L, reported by Blum and Speece (1991), has been selected as the key value for toxicity of microorganisms to 1,2 dichlorobenzene.
