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.

Additional information

The acute toxicity of AZDN to micro-organisms has been assessed in an OECD 209 test. Based on measured inhibition rates, the 3-hour EC20and EC50could not be quantified because up to the highest nominal test concentration of 1000 mg/L less than 20% inhibition was noted after three hours incubation. A dose response at all test concentrations could not be observed. The maximum deviation in respiration rates was 19.1% at a concentration of 1000 mg 2,2’-Azobis[isobutyronitrile] (AZDN) per litre. Nevertheless, the 3-hour EC20and EC50are clearly higher than 1000 mg/L under the present test conditions.Even the test was not designed for a NOEC determination, the NOEC of 2,2’-Azobis[isobutyronitrile] (AZDN) may be established above 1000 mg/L.
