Additional information
Bringmann and Kuehn (1978) determined a toxic treshold value (TGK) of 530 mg/L in a 192h test with Microcystis aeruginosa. The same authors report a further toxic treshold value resulting from a cell multiplication test for 16 hours, using two Pseudomonas species, at 6600 mg/L (Bringmann and Kuehn 1977). Other test results reported are an EC50 of 20000 mg/L for activated sluge and an IC50 value of 880 mg/L for Nitrosamonas (Blum and Speece 1991). An IC50 value >1000 mg/L for activated sludge is reported by Klecka et al. (1985). This test was performed according to the OECD Guideline 209 (activated sludge, respiration inhibition test) and is considered the most appropriate for assessing the risk for wastewater treatment plant.
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).
