Executive summary:

A study was performed with FAT 20037/B to determine the toxicity to microorganisms. This test was conducted according to CIBA internal guideline Method B-10. Based on the findings of the study, the toxicity to activated sludge for FAT 20037/B was found to be greater than 300 mg/L.

Description of key information

In a study conducted to evaluate the toxicity of the test substance to bacteria, the IC50 (BST) was determined to be greater than 300 mg/L. Similar outcome was reported from a supporting study, where the IC50 (BST) to activated sludge was again determined to be greater than 300 mg/L.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

EC50 for microorganisms:
300 mg/L
