The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information
The 3h-EC50 value of ptBP was found to be > 10 mg/L.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The inhibitory concentration of ptBP on the respiration of aerobic waste water bacteria was determined in amixed population of activated sewage sludge (SafePharm, 1991). The test method followed the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals No. 209. 3,5-Dichlorophenol was used as the reference substance at concentration of 3.2 and 32 mg/L. In this study the oxygen consumption rates were measured after time of 3 hours at concentrations of 10, 100, and 1000 mg/L of the test substance in the range finding study, and 10 mg/L ptBP in the definitive study (3 replicates). The inhibitory concentration (EC50) (3h contact time) for reference substance was 11 mg/L, while the EC50 value (3h contact time) for the test substance was >10 mg/L.
In a similar supporting study the inhibitory concentration of ptBP was determined in an oxygen consumption test with Pseudomonas putida in the presence of nominal concentrations of 125, 250, 500 and 750 mg/L of ptBP for 6 hours (Hüls AG, 1994). A 5% emulsifier concentration (nonylphenol ethoxy propoxylate) was used to obtain sufficient solubility of the test substance. The EC10 (6 h contact time) value for ptBP was determined to be 140 mg/L. No reference substance was used in this study.
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). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
