Executive summary:

The test item was assessed in an test on toxicity to bacteria with 3,5-Xylidine according to ISO 8192-1986 (E), similar to OECD 209 and following GLP. Activated sludge was incubated for 3h to nominal test concentrations of 100, 180, 320, 560, 1000 mg/L- The respration rate was measured. The EC50(3h) on microorganisms for the test substance was 914 mg/L (nominal).
