Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

EC10 (3 hr activated sludge respiration inhibition) >10'000 mg/L.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Toxicity to micro organisms has been tested with a sample of activated sludge from domestic waste water treatment plant over a 3 hr period at nominal concentrations from 100 - 10,000 mg/l. No effects were observed and the EC10 are >10,000 mg/l. In another study, Photobacterium phosphoreum was exposed for a 5 min period, the EC 20.5 and EC 50.5 was calculated as 1100 mg/l and 3600 mg/l on the basis of bioluminiscence inhibition. In a third study, toxicity to Pseudomonas putida over 18 h exposure was tested. Inhibitory effects were observed starting from 6600 mg/l. The activated sludge inhibition study is considered the most relevant study to conclude on the PNEC for activated sludge in a waste water treatment plant.
