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

No activated sludge respiration inhibition study with the test substance is available. An activated sludge respiration inhibition study with 2,2’-azobis(isobutyronitrile) was used to fulfill the data gap for the test substance.The underlying hypothesis for the read-across is based on the fact that the mode of action and chemical class specifics are relevant. Additional documentation, provided within the IUCLID Assessment Reports section, supports the read-across approach.


A static, 3-hour respiration inhibition study in domestic activated sludge with 2,2‘-azobis(isobutyronitrile) was performed. The 3-hour NOEC and EC50 in activated sludge were >1000 mg/L, based on respiration rate. Converted to 2,2'-azobis[2-methylbutyronitrile] this value is 1171 mg/L.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

EC50 for microorganisms:
1 171 mg/L
EC10 or NOEC for microorganisms:
1 171 mg/L
