Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Toxicity to microorganisms has been tested with a sample of activated sludge (from a predominantly domestic water treatment plant) in two studies over a 3 hour period at nominal concentrations from 100 - 10000 mg/l and the EC50 was > 10000 mg/l and EC0 was 700 mg/l. In another study, Psudomonas putida was exposed to varying concentrations and the 17 hour EC50 was 1400 mg/l, EC10 was 800 mg/l and EC90 was 2400 mg/l, the TGK (toxicity threshold limit) comparable to the EC3 value was 800 mg/l. 
As a worst case approach, the NOEC of 700 mg/L was chosen as key parameter.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

EC10 or NOEC for microorganisms:
700 mg/L

Additional information

Toxicity to microorganisms has been tested with a sample of activated sludge (from a predominantly domestic water treatment plant) in two studies over a 3 hour period at nominal concentrations from 100 - 10,000 mg/l. In one study inhibition of 12% was observed at 10,000 mg/L and the EC50 was > 10,000 mg/l in the other study no effects were observed up to 700 mg/l.

In a third study, Psudomonas putida was exposed to varying concentrations and the 17 hour EC50 was 1400 mg/l, EC10 was 800 mg/l and EC90 was 2400 mg/l, the TGK (toxicity threshold limit) comparable to the EC3 value was 800 mg/l.
