Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 EC50 (3 hours) of Bourgeonal is 80 mg/l. The NOEC is 31.6 mg/L.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- EC50 for microorganisms:
- 80 mg/L
- EC10 or NOEC for microorganisms:
- 31.6 mg/L
Additional information
The respiration rate of an activated sludge fed with a standard amount of synthetic sewage feed is measured after a contact time of three hours. The respiration rate of the same activated sludge in the presence of various concentrations of the test substance under otherwise identical conditions is also measured. Five concentrations were tested: 1, 3.2, 10, 31.6 and 100mg/L. Only at a test concentration of 100 mg/L was significant inhibition of the respiration observed. Therefore the NOEC is considered to be 31.6 mg/L. For estimating the EC50 (3 hours) a linear relationship between % inhibition and the common logarithm of the test substance concentration was assumed for concentrations ranging from 31.6 to 100mg/l. Using this equation the concentration corresponding to 50% inhibition was calculated to be ~ 80 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.
