Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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. No toxic effects occur at the range of solubility.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Assessment of the target substance in a Short term respiration test (OECD 209):

In a short term respiration test according to OECD guideline 209, no respiration inhibition of domestic activated sludge was observed over a period of 3 hours at the highest test substance concentration of 1000 mg/L (2018).

Supporting assessment of a similar substance (EC 406 -040 -9)

In a short term respiration test according to OECD guideline 209, no respiration inhibition of domestic activated sludge was observed over a period of 3 hours at the highest concentration of 100 mg/L (1989).

Supporting assessment of the major degradation product Metilox acid (CAS: 20170-32-5)

In a 3 hours activated sludge respiration inhibition test the IC50 concentration of the test substance was found to be greater than the highest test concentration of 100 mg/L.

 

In all studies no respiration inhibition could be observed up to the highest test substance concentration.

Based on these results it can be concluded that the inhibition of the degradation activity of activated sludge is not anticipated for the test substance, its major degradation products and impurity Metilox when introduced in appropriate low concentrations.
