Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Reference
Endpoint:
activated sludge respiration inhibition testing
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
2013
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
reference to same study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: OECD Guideline 301 D (Ready biodegradability: Closed Bottle Test)
GLP compliance:
yes
Test organisms (species):
sewage, domestic
Details on inoculum:
Secondary effluent from a municipal wastewater treatment plant in Usserød, Denmark, wihich predominantly receives domestic sewage.
Total exposure duration:
28 d
Reference substance (positive control):
yes
Remarks:
Benzoic acid, sodium salt
Duration:
28 d
Dose descriptor:
NOEC
Effect conc.:
2.4 mg/L
Nominal / measured:
nominal
Conc. based on:
test mat.
Basis for effect:
inhibition of total respiration
Duration:
28 d
Dose descriptor:
EC0
Effect conc.:
2.4 mg/L
Nominal / measured:
nominal
Conc. based on:
test mat.
Basis for effect:
inhibition of total respiration
Duration:
28 d
Dose descriptor:
other: Oxygen consumption
Effect conc.:
31.9 other: % of ThOD
Nominal / measured:
meas. (not specified)
Conc. based on:
other: Oxygen concentration
Basis for effect:
inhibition of total respiration
Validity criteria fulfilled:
not applicable
Conclusions:
The oxygen consumption corresponded to 36.6% of the ThOD after 14 days in the toxicity control. Therefore the test item can be considered not inhibitory to the inoculum according to this test guideline.
Executive summary:

In biodegradation test OECD 301 D was followed under GLP compliance. The oxygen consumption corresponded to 36.6% of the ThOD after 14 days in the toxicity control. Therefore the test item can be considered not inhibitory to the inoculum according to this test guideline.
