In both Pseudomonas putida tests no effects of DBP were found even at concentrations above the water solubility of the substance. The low toxicity of DBP to bacteria is supported by the results of the biodegradability test (Huls study, 1995; modified Sturm test). In this test, showing ready biodegradability of DBP, a test concentration of 21.7 mg/l was used.

Details on results:
cf. Table 1, line 9
Conclusions:
An EC50 of 2.2. mg/l was measured.
Executive summary:

A test was developed using Tetrahymena pyriformis in order to determine the toxicity of various chemicals. Pre-cultured T. pyriformis was exposed for 24 h at 30°C to various concentrations of chemicals, and the number of T. pyriformis surviving were then counted. The concentration of the chemical, at which the proliferation of T. pyriformis was restricted to one-half of the blank test (EC50), was determined.

Description of key information

In both Pseudomonas putida tests no effects of DBP were found even at concentrations above the water solubility of the substance. The low toxicity of DBP to bacteria is supported by the results of the biodegradability test.
For the EC50 value the most sensitive endpoint (Tetrahymena pyriformis) has been chosen:

Key value for chemical safety assessment

EC50 for microorganisms:
2.2 mg/L
EC10 or NOEC for microorganisms:
10 mg/L
