Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The test item is not toxic at concentration
Executive summary:

A Respiration Inhibition Test according to OECD Guideline No. 209 was performed with the test item at Hoechst AG, Abteilung Umweltschutz, Frankfurt. The respiration rate of test item was measured after a contact time of three hours. The EC0 is > 250 mg/L to activated sludge.

An increase of activity was observed at all concentration levels.
