Source: Municipal sewage treatment plant: 'Waterschap de Maaskant, 's-Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands.

Preparation of the sludge: The sludge was coarsely sieved and washed with tap water. A small amount of the sludge was weighed and dried at ca. 105°C to determine the amount of suspended solids (3.5 g/L of sludge, as used for the test). Before use the pH was checked (measured value: 7.8).

Activated sludge (200 ml) was added and the mixture was aerated in a 1 L bottle during the contact time, using a pipette as an aeration device.
Then a well mixed sample of the contents was poured into a 300 ml oxygen bottle, and the flask was sealed with an oxygen electrode connected to a recorder, forcing the air out of the vessel. Oxygen consumption was measured and recorded for approximately 10 minutes. During measurement, the sample was not aerated but continuously stirred on a magnetic stirrer.

Description of key information
The read across for substance, CAS: 156558-98-4; EC: 451-190-0; is based upon the analogous substances to which basic form, degree of substitution of functional groups is not considered to effect the proposed read across for the endpoint of toxicity to microorganisms. The NOEC for the substance based on the mean of the information available is deemed to be 400 mg/L, to which no adverse effects were noted upto the limit of solubility.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- EC50 for microorganisms:
- 100 mg/L
Additional information
HATCOL 3331
The influence of HATCOL 3331 on the respiration rate of activated sludge was investigated after a contact time of 30 minutes.
Since HATCOL 3331 was hardly soluble in water, the test substance was quantitatively added to the test vessels. A nominal concentration of 100 mg/L was tested in duplicate. The concentration was approved by the study director in the study files.
No significant inhibition of respiration rate of the sludge was recorded at 100 mg HATCOL 3331 per litre. The duplicate measurement confirmed the result of the first measurement. Therefore no further testing was needed.
The respiration rates of the controls were within 15% of each other.
The EC50 of the reference substance, 3,5-dichlorophenòl, was 11 mg/l.
Therefore, the test was considered to be valid.
In conclusion, under the conditions of this present test, HATCOL 3331 was not toxic to wastewater (activated sludge) bacteria at a concentration of 100 mg/l.
HATCOL 5236
The Influence of HATCOL 5236 on the respiration rate of activated sludge was investigated after a contact time of 30 minutes.
Since HATCOL 5236 was hardly soluble in water, the test substance was quantitatively added to the test vessels. A nominal concentration of 100 mg/l was tested in duplicate. The concentration was approved by the study director in the study files.
No Inhibition of respiration rate of the sludge was recorded at 100 mg HATCOL 5236 per lire.
The duplicate measurement confirmed the result of the first measurement. Therefore no further testing was needed.
The respiration rates of the controls were within 15% of each other.
The EC50 of the reference substance, 3,5 dichlorophenol was 12 mg/l.
Therefore, the test was considered to be valid.
In conclusion under the conditions of this present test, HATCOL 5236 was not toxic to waste water (activated sludge) bacteria at a concentration of 100 mg/l.
The toxicity of the source substance PE/TMP tetra/tri C5, i-C5, C7, C8, i-C9, C10 ester to activated sludge microorganisms was investigated according to OECD 209 under GLP conditions (Mead, 1998). A test concentration of 1000 mg/L (nominal) did not inhibit the respiration rate of microorganisms from a sewage treatment plant. Therefore, the test substance is not toxic to activated sludge microorganisms and a NOEC (3 h) of ≥ 1000 mg/L resulted.
Based on the results from a structurally similar source substance (in accordance to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 Annex XI, 1.5) it can be concluded that Pentaerythritol tetraesters of n-C5, n-C7, n-C8, i-C9 and n-C10 fatty acids with pentaerythritol will not show effects to activated sludge microorganisms and it is not expected that the degradation process in sewage treatment plants will be inhibited.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation).
