Bayscript Magenta BB showed 0.76 % respiration inhibition of activated sludge at the highest test item concentration of 100 mg/L active ingredient.
As no significant inhibitory effect was measured at a limit test item concentration of 100 mg/L active ingredient no statistical analysis was required to determine the EC50.

- Conclusions:
- Bayscript Magenta BB showed 0.76 % respiration inhibition of activated sludge at a test item concentration of 100 mg/L active ingredient. The EC50 is higher than 100 mg/L (active ingredient). The NOEC is equal or higher than 100 mg/L (active ingredient). The effect value relates to a nominal concentration, since no analytical monitoring was performed.
- Executive summary:
A study was performed to assess the toxicity of Bayscript Magenta BB to bacteria. The study was conducted in accordance with OECD Guideline 209 ‘Activated Sludge, Respiration Inhibition Test (Carbon and Ammonium Oxidation)’ (adopted: 22 July 2010) and considered the Question-and-Answer Document by the German Federal Environment Agency (Version 2012-03-02). This test method is in most essential parts equal to Council Regulation (EC) No 440/2008, Method C.11 ”Biodegradation: Activated Sludge Respiration Inhibition Test” (2008).
The activated sludge was exposed to Bayscript Magenta BB at a limit test item concentration of 100 mg/L active ingredient. The respiration rate of each mixture was determined after aeration periods of 3 hours.
Six controls without the test item were included in the test design, three at the start and the others at the end of the test series.
A limit test was performed with 3 replicates with a test item concentration of 100 mg/L active ingredient. Each batch of activated sludge was checked using 5 concentrations in the range of 2.5 – 40 mg/L of 3,5-Dichlorophenol as a reference compound. A physico-chemical oxygen consumption control was carried out additionally.
The oxygen uptake rates of four additional controls and two replicates of the test item concentration 100 mg/L active ingredient, all in the presence of N-allylthiourea, were prepared and measured after the exposure period. These values represent the heterotrophic respiration.
Bayscript Magenta BB showed 0.76 % respiration inhibition of activated sludge at a test item concentration of 100 mg/L active ingredient.
The EC50 is higher than 100 mg/L (active ingredient). The NOEC is equal or higher than 100 mg/L (active ingredient).
The effect value relates to a nominal concentration, since no analytical monitoring was performed.
