Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
In a 28-day toxicity study, natural soil was exposed to 2-(2H-benzotriazol-2-yl)-p-cresol at nominal concentrations of 0 (blank control), 62.5 mg/kg, 125 mg/kg, 250 mg/kg, 500 mg/kg and 1000 mg/kg (dry weight) under conditions in accordance with the guidelines. Luzerne meal was used as nitrogen source. The moistness, pH and temperature were within acceptable guideline specifications. The amount of nitrate formed by microbial processes was determined at start of exposure, after 7, 14 and after 28 days at the end of exposure. The results of the nitrate analyses of the treated replicates were compared to control assays and the nitrate production in the treated replicates was expressed as an inhibition of the process of nitrogen oxidation. The EC10, EC25 and EC50 values were estimated to be >1000 mg/kg dry weight. The results in this study are consistent with all validity criteria and the test is valid according to the guidelines of this study.
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.
