Executive summary:

In an Activated sludge respiration inibition test, according to EU guideline 30 min NOEC for respiration inhibition was 540 mg/l. The tested concentrations were 0, 20, 60, 180, 540, 1620 mg/l nominal. EC20 was >1600 mg/l

Description of key information

No EC50 value could be determined in an activated sludge respiration inhibition test. The EC20 was 1620 mg/L and the NOEC 540 mg/L.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

EC10 or NOEC for microorganisms:
540 mg/L
