Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Remarks:
- The EC50 for the reference inhibitor, 3,5-dichlorophenol was in the range of 5 - 30 mg/L.
- Conclusions:
- The 3-hour EC50 of BEPD based on suppression of the respiration of activated sludge microorganisms was 650 mg/L.
- Executive summary:
Activated sludge obtained from a sewage treatment plant was exposed in a 3 -hour respiration inhibition test to concentrations of 0, 51.1, 103, 258, 515 and 2575 mg BEPD/L, nominal concentrations were calculated from TOC. The test design included duplicate samples and followed OECD 209 guidelines. The 3 -hour EC50 based on respiration inhibition was 650 mg BEPD/L.
