Description of key information

The toxicity of CA 2343A to activated sludge was determined in a 3-hours respiration inhibition test, according to GLP Guideline OECD 209, under aerobic conditions at room temperature (20 +/-2 ºC).  
The test substance concentrations tested were 100, 32, 10, 3.2 and 1.0 mg/l. The reference substance 3,5-Dichlorophenol was tested in concentrations of 32, 10 and 3.2 mg/l.
The test system consisted of activated sludge collected from a communal sewage treatment plant. 1.59 g/l sludge (dry weight) was used in a test volume of 100 ml.
The respiration rate of the activated sludge fed with a standard amount of nutrient solution was measured after a contact time of 3 hours with the test substance. The reference substance 3,5-Dichlorophenol and a blank (nutrient solution, inoculum and water) served as controls. An EC50 (3h) value for CA 2343A of > 100 mg/l was calculated.
Based on the result, EC50 (3h) > 100 mg/l, CA 2343A is "not toxic to bacteria".
