RANGE-FINDING TEST
Amounts of test material (50 and 500 mg) were each separately dispersed, using a plastic disposable syringe, in approximately 250 mL of water and subjected to ultrasonication for approximately 15 minutes. Synthetic sewage (16 mL), activated sewage sludge (200 mL) and water were added to a final volume of 500 mL to give the required concentrations of 100 and 1000 mg/L.
DEFINITIVE TEST
An amount of test material (500mg) was dispersed, using a plastic disposable syringe in approximately 250 mL of water and subjected to ultrasonication for approximately 30 minutes. Synthetic sewage (16 mL), activated sewage sludge (200 mL) and water were added to a final volume of 500 mL to give the required concentration of 1000 mg/L. This method of preparation was performed for the three separate replicate test vessels.
Test organisms
- Test organisms (species):
- activated sludge
- Details on inoculum:
- A mixed population of activated sewage sludge micro-organisms was obtained on 16 August 2007 for the range-finding test and on 29 August 2007 for the definitive test from the aeration stage of the Severn Trent Water PLc sewage treatment plant at Loughborough, Leicestershire, UK which treats predominantly domestic sewage.
PREPARATION OF INOCULUM
The activated sewage sludge sample was maintained on continuous aeration in the laboratory at a temperature of approximately 21°C and was used on the day of collection. The pH of the sample was 8.0 measured using a WTW pH/Oxi 3401 pH and dissolved oxygen meter. Determination of
the suspended solids level of the activated sewage sludge was carried out by filtering a sample (100 mL) of the activated sewage sludge by suction through a pre-weighed GF/A filter paper using a Buchner funnel which was then rinsed 3 times with 10 mL of deionised reverse osmosis water and filtration continued for 3 minutes. The filter paper was then dried in an oven at approximately 105 ºC for at least 1 hour and allowed to cool before weighing. This process was repeated until a constant weight was attained. The suspended solids concentration was equal to 4.0 g/L prior to use.

- Results with reference substance (positive control):
- The reference material gave a 3-Hour EC50 value of 7.7 mg/L, 95% confidence limits 6.0 - 9.9 mg/L.
- Reported statistics and error estimates:
- In order to calculate the inhibitory effect of the reference materials, the respiration rate was expressed as a percentage of the two control respiration rates:
% inhibition = [1- 2RS/RC1 + RC2] x 100
where:
RS = oxygen consumption rate for test or reference sample
RC1 + RC2 = oxygen consumption rates for controls 1 and 2
The percentage inhibition values were plotted against concentration for the reference material only, a line fitted using the XIfit software package (IDBS) and the EC20, EC50 and EC80 values determined from the equation for the fitted line. 95% confidence limits were calculated for the the EC50 values using the method of Litchfield and Wilcoxon (1949). The NOEC was determined by inspection of the inhibition of respiarion rate data.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The effect of the test material on the respiration of activated sewage sludge micro-organisms resulted in a 3h EC50 of >1000 mg/L and a 3h NOEC of 1000 mg/L.
- Executive summary:
A study was performed to assess the effect of the test material on the respiration of activated sewage sludge in line with OCED Guideline 209. Following a range-finding study, activated sewage sludge was exposed to the test material at a concentratio of 1000 mg/l in three replicate flasks for a period of 3 hours.
The effect of the test material on the respiration of activated sewage sludge gave a 3h EC50 of >1000 mg/L and a NOEC of 1000 mg/L. It was considered unnecessary and unrealistic to test at concentrations in excess of 1000 mg/L.
