m-Cresol - ipcs inchem

OECD SIDS
m- / p-CRESOL MIXTURE
4. ECOTOXICITY ID: 15831-10-4
DATE: 24.05.2004
Unit :
Analytical monitoring : no
Method :
Year : 1983
GLP : no
Test substance : other TS: m-cresol, no purity reported
Method : Incubation in microcosms containing sterile sea water
Result : Number of viable cells remained constant
Number of culturable cells decreased, no plasmids were
detected. Changes in membrane protein composition observed.
After transfer into rich medium without test substance,
growth resumed and plasmids were again detectable.
Test condition : Test concentration 1 µg/l, 18 degrees C
Reliability : (3) invalid
Tested organism not relevant for environment
12.05.2004 (82) (83)
Type : aquatic
Species : Pseudomonas putida (Bacteria)
Exposure period : 48 hour(s)
Unit :
Analytical monitoring : no
Method :
Year : 1989
GLP : no
Test substance : other TS: m-cresol, no purity reported
Method : in the culture medium absorbance at 660 nm was measured
Result : absorbance 0.46 with 0.5 g/l and 0.22 with 1 g/l
Test condition : 30 degrees C
Reliability : (3) invalid
