Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

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.

Type:
Constituent
Details on test material:
- Name of test material (as cited in study report): 520 F - Chlormethyloximether
- Physical state: solid/ dark green
- Analytical purity: 94.4 g/100 g

Study design

Oxygen conditions:
aerobic
Inoculum or test system:
activated sludge, domestic, non-adapted
Details on inoculum:
- Source of inoculum/activated sludge: municipal activated sludge from the wastewater treatment plant
- Preparation of inoculum for exposure: An appropriate aliquot of the activated sludge suspension was sieved with a finely woven mesh (mesh size about 1 mm), washed with tap water, and pre-aerated for about 24 hours. The sludge of this suspension was adjusted to a concentration of 6.0 g/L of dry weight and then added to the test vessels to obtain a sludge concentration of 30 mg/L dry substance.
