Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information
NOEC (18 h): >= 1088 mg/L for cell multiplication of Pseudomonas putida
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Two reliable studies with Pseudomonas putida are available. One was conducted according to EN ISO 10712 and the other one according to a national guideline from Germany (LTwS Nr. 10, 1979). The basis for an effect was in both tests the growth inhibition of Pseudomonas putida within a 16 hours test period. Coenen (1988) observed no effect at the highest tested concentration of 1088 mg/L. Richterich and Mühlberg (2001) tested concentrations of 3000 and 10000 mg/L and observed effects at a concentration of 10000 mg/L. Thus, triacetin showed a low toxicity for Pseudomonas putida. As all tests were conducted with a single species system, which is more sensitive than a mixed microbial population in activated sludge and as triacetin is furthermore readily biodegradable, an inhibition of activated sludge in STP is not expected.
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.
