Constituent 1
Results and discussion
Any other information on results incl. tables
The substance was detected in Swiss waste water treatment plants in a study conducted in 1996. Concentrations in the influent were between <0.015 mg/l to 0.25 mg/l. The highest concentration found was associated with a significant input from the textile industry. For all plants, the substance could not be detected in effluent. In a later paper, the same author reports 93% removal over a two-week period in a German plant. Concentrations in the influent were between 0.06 mg/l to 0.33 mg/l.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
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.
