- Details on results:
- It was not possible to determine an EC80 value for the test item as no concentration tested resulted in greater than 80% inhibition.
No statistically significant toxic effects were shown at the test concentrations of 3.2, 10 and 32 mg/L; however statistically significant toxic effects (P < 0.05) were shown at the test concentrations of 100 and 320 mg/L.
In some instances, the initial and final dissolved oxygen concentrations were outside those recommended in the test guidelines (7 mg O2/L and 2 mg O2/L respectively). This was considered to have had no adverse effect on the results of the study given that in all cases the oxygen consumption rate was determined over the linear portion of the oxygen consumption trace.
The dissolved oxygen concentrations after 30 minutes contact time in all vessels were above 60% of the dissolved oxygen saturation level of 8.9 mg O2/L. - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- The reference item, 3,5 dichlorophenol, gave a 3 Hour EC50 value of 5.8 mg/L, 95% confidence limits 4.3 to 7.8 mg/L confirming the acceptability of the inoculum used in the test system.
- Reported statistics and error estimates:
- The percentage inhibition values were plotted against concentration, a line fitted using the Xlfit software package (IDBS) and the EC10, EC20, EC50 and EC80 values for the reference item determined from the equation for the fitted line.
The 95% confidence limits were calculated for the reference item EC50 value using the method of Litchfield and Wilcoxon (Litchfield and Wilcoxon, 1949).
In order to determine the NOEC, one way analysis of variance incorporating Bartlett's test for homogeneity of variance (Sokal and Rohlf, 1981) and Dunnett's multiple comparison procedure for comparing several treatments with a control (Dunnett, 1955) was carried out on the oxygen consumption data after 3 hours to determine any statistically significant differences between the test and control groups.
All statistical analyses were performed using the SAS computer software package (SAS, 1999 2001).

- Executive summary:
Introduction
A study was performed to assess the effect of the test item on the respiration of activated sewage sludge. The method followed was designed to be compatible with the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals (2010) No. 209 "Activated Sludge, Respiration Inhibition Test (Carbon and Ammonium Oxidation)".
Methods
Following a preliminary range‑finding test and at the request of the Sponsor, a test to determine the No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC) and the 3‑Hour EC10value for the test item was performed. Activated sewage sludge was exposed to an aqueous dispersion of the test item at concentrations of3.2,10,32,100and320 mg/L (five replicates) for a period of 3 hours at a measured temperature of between 20 °C and 21 °C with the addition of a synthetic sewage as a respiratory substrate.
The rate of respiration was determined after 3 hours contact time and compared to data for the control and a reference item, 3,5‑dichlorophenol.
Results
The effect of the test item on the respiration of activated sewage sludge micro-organisms gave a 3‑Hour EC10value of 64 mg/L. The No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC) after 3 hours exposure was 32 mg/L.
The reference item, 3,5‑dichlorophenol, gave a 3‑Hour EC50value of 5.8 mg/L, 95% confidence limits 4.3 to 7.8 mg/L confirming the acceptability of the inoculum used in the test system.
