Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
The inhibition of the degradation activity of activated sludge is not anticipated when introduced in appropriate low concentrations.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
In a short-term respiration test using domestic activated sludge (BASF AG, 1980) a 30-min EC20 of > 1000 mg/L was determined. Hence, the EC50 is also > 1000 mg/L.
The nominal concentration of 1000 mg/L was not analytically verified, but is assumed to be stable due to the the low n-octanol/water partition coefficient (log Kow = 0.21), the high water solubility (WS = 1.0E+06 mg/L at 23 °C), the moderate vapour pressure (VP = 2 hPa, at 22.4 °C) and the low Henry´s law constant (HLC, uncharged: 3.17E-04 Pa*m³/mol) of the chemical. In addition, a test on short-term toxicity to fish conducted according to APHA (1980) standard methods for the examination of water and waste water which are similar to OECD 203 testing guideline (Geiger et al., 1986), as well as a further test on short-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates according to OECD 202 (Atofina, 1993) showed an acceptable recovery of the test item in the test solutions.
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.
