Description of key information
Two Studies realized according to international guideline and in compliance with GLP, are available and valid. The activated sludge respiration inhibition test demonstrated a NOEC higher than 100 mg/L, the highest concentration tested. The assay on growth of the bacteria Pseudomonas putida demonstrated a NOEC higher than 10 mg/l.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- EC10 or NOEC for microorganisms:
- 100 mg/L
Additional information
An activated sludge respiration inhibition test was conducted to determine the effect on sewage micro-organisms of the test material DEGDB (HLS 1998, VCL245/970386). The study was conducted in accordance with EC, OECD, and US EPA test guidelines, and in compliance with GLP.
DEGDB had no significant inhibitory effect on the respiration rate of activated sludge at any of the concentrations employed in the tests. The NOEC was determined to be ≥ 100 mg/L, the highest concentration tested.
A second study that supports these results was performed to assess the effect of DEGDB on the growth of the bacteria Pseudomonas putida (Safepharm 1998, 1104/002). The method followed that described in the German Water Hazard Classification Scheme Bewertung Wassergefahrdender Stoffe LTWS Nr 10 and ISO 10712, and was conducted to GLP. Exposure of Pseudomonas putida to DEGDB gave EC10 and EC50 values of greater than 10 mg/L. The "no-observed effect level" (NOEC) was >= 10 mg/L.
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.
