Description of key information

Activated Sludge Respiration Inhibition Test (OECD Guideline 209). The 3h EC50 value was calculated to be 216 mg/L (187 – 252 mg/L, 95% confidence intervals) and the 3h NOEC was assessed to be 20 mg/L. 

Key value for chemical safety assessment

EC50 for microorganisms:
216 mg/L

Additional information

The toxicity to microorganisms was tested on sewage micro-organisms by measuring the respiration rate under defined conditions in accordance to OECD Guideline 209. In this test activated sludge was exposed for 3 hours to nominal PSOA concentrations of 6, 20, 60, 200 and 600 mg/L.

The 3h EC50 value was calculated to be 216 mg/L (187 – 252 mg/L, 95% confidence intervals) and the 3h NOEC was assessed to be 20 mg/L. The results are based on nominal concentrations.
