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 toxicity of direct yellow on microorganisms was tested in a inhibition control of a biodegradation test according to OECD 301A (CIBA-GEIGY 1990). At a concentration of 86 mg/L no inhibition was observed. A respiration inhibition test according to OECD guideline 209 confirmed this result (CIBA-GEIGY 1990). The IC50 value for respiration inhibition was beyond 100 mg/L (CIBA-GEIGY 1990).
