Additional information

No valid studies are available for p-Toluenesulfonamide. Read across is performed with o-Toleunesulfonamide (CAS 88 -19 -7).

One study, valid without restrictions, is available with Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata (OECD SIDS, 2002) performed according to OECD 201 guideline. It was performed as a static test with chemical analysis.
