Additional information

The toxicity of the test item to activated sewage sludge was taken from the toxicity control of a GLP-compliant ready biodegradability CO2evolution test following OECD guideline 301B (Harlan 2013). In the toxicity control the biodegradation rate of a reference substance known to be readily biodegradable is followed in the presence of the test item. The test item did not exhibit any inhibitory effects on the biodegradation rate of the reference substance, indicating that it was not toxic to the microorganisms at the concentration tested.
