Description of key information

The inhibition of the degradation activity of activated sludge on sebacic acid is not anticipated when introduced in appropriate

low concentrations.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

A short term respiration inhibition test conducted, in accordance with ISO 8192 [BASF AG, 1990]. After incubation of 3 hours no respiration inhibition observed up to the highest test concentration of 1000 mg/L sebacic acid.
