Description of key information

The toxic effects to microorganisms of this substance are read-across from data obtained with dilauroyl peroxide: EC50 was determined to be > 1000 mg/L based on nominal concentration, when absorbed onto silica gel. No NOEC was obtained.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

There is no test performed with didecanoyl peroxide. The toxic effects to microorganisms of this substance are read-across from data obtained with dilauroyl peroxide. An activated sludge respiration inhibition test was performed with dilauroyl peroxide, according to the OECD 209 guideline. The test substance was not soluble in water and therefore the activated sludge was exposed to dilauroyl peroxide adsorbed onto silica gel at a concentration of 1 g/litre. By this exposure an effect was recorded indicating that the obtained distribution of the test substance in the water system did inhibit the activated sludge slightly (24%). The EC50 was determined to be > 1000 mg/L based on nominal concentration, when absorbed onto silica gel. No NOEC was obtained.
