Description of key information
EC50 (3 h) > 1000 mg/L (OECD 209, inhibition of respiration)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
One experimental study according to OECD 209 (GLP) is available investigating the effects of Fatty acids C16-18 (even numbered), oligoesters with sucrose on the respiration of activated sludge microorganisms. Activated sludge from a municipal sewage treatment plant was used as inoculum and exposed for 3 h. The respiration rate was measured after 3 h of exposure. An inhibition of 8% (mean of three replicates) was calculated resulting in an EC50 (3 h) > 1000 mg/L.
