Results and discussion
Any other information on results incl. tables
diethylamine at 10 ppm degraded with both an activated sludge and fresh water/sediment inoculum, 59 and 38 % of the theoretical BOD was obtained after 12 days of incubation. Inhibition was noted at moderate concentrations and sizeable reductions in BOD were noted at 50 ppm. Another study concluded that diethylamine was degraded slowly by activated sludge even when acclimatized (53% of theoretical BOD was achieved after 13 days)
Applicant's summary and conclusion
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.
