Description of key information

The inhibition of the degradation activity of activated sludge is not anticipated when triisobutyl phosphate introduced in appropriate low concentrations.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

EC10 or NOEC for microorganisms:
37.2 mg/L

Additional information

No microorganismen respiration inhibition test according to OECD guideline 209 is available. However, the toxicity of Triisobutyl phosphate (TriBP) was assessed based on the inhibition control of a ready biodegradation test performed according to GLP and OECD guideline 301B (BASF 2004). 37.2 mg/L test substance and aniline was mixed. No inhibition of aniline degradation was observed throughout an exposure time of 28 days. Thus the 28d-NOEC value is determined to be 37.2 mg/L. Additional data from a robra test with Pseudomonas putida (30 min-EC10 = 280 mg/L); BASF 1989) and a respiration inhibition test with activated sludge from an industrial STP (30 min-EC20 = 390 mg/L; BASF 1984) confirm the conservative assumption of no toxicity below 37.2 mg/L.
