Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Details on results:
Piperonyl Butoxide had no significant inhibitory effects on the respiration rate of activated sludge (representing combined carbonaceous and nitrogenous oxidation processes) up to and including the highest test concentration of 1000 mg a.s./L. Taking into that this concentration exceeded the water solubility of Piperonyl Butoxide (28.9 mg/L at 20.4⁰C and pH 7.01), the NOEC for STP microorganisms was set equal to the water solubility value of 28.9 mg/L.

Any other information on results incl. tables

The toxic reference substance (DCP) resulted in inhibition rates of 30, 72 and 91 % in the 5, 15, and 45 mg/L treated vessels, respectively, indicating the suitability of the applied test procedure. No inhibitory effects by Piperonyl Butoxide of more than 15 % were observed
