Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Test organisms

Test organisms (species):
activated sludge of a predominantly domestic sewage
Details on inoculum:
- Laboratory culture: origin: the water treatment plant of Evreux (France)
- Method of cultivation: activated sludge collected from a water treatment works containing effluent from a predominantly domestic
origin.
- Preparation of inoculum for exposure: the inoculum was left to settle and the supernatant rejected. it was then filtered and washed once with
dechlorinated water. Four samples were taken to determine the conten tin the suspended matter
(dry weight). concentration of sludge: 4 g / l ± 10 %. (Initial biomass concentration)
