Description of key information
In an activated sludge respiration inhibition test the EC20 was found to be greater than 100 mg/L.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Respiration Inhibition Test
In a 30 min respiration inhibition test conducted with activated sludge obtained from an industrial wastewater treatment plant, Methylpyrrolidin was found to have an inhibitory effect to respiration. The EC20 was determined to be greater than 100 mg/L.
Microtox assayIn this publication a test is described which was conducted to assess the toxicity of several chemicals including the test substance to different bacteria. Besides evaluating toxicities based on oxygen consumption (aerobic heterotrophs), gas production (methanogens) and Ammonia use (Nitrosomonas), the test substance was also tested in a Microtox test assay (Microbics corporation). This rapid test system is based on the biolimunescense of Photobacterium phopsphoreum. As a result, the IC50 value determined in this test system was 8000 mg/L.
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). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
