- Duration:
- 3 h
- Dose descriptor:
- NOEC
- Effect conc.:
- 100 mg/L
- Nominal / measured:
- nominal
- Conc. based on:
- act. ingr.
- Basis for effect:
- inhibition of total respiration
- Key result
- Duration:
- 3 h
- Dose descriptor:
- EC50
- Effect conc.:
- >= 100 mg/L
- Nominal / measured:
- nominal
- Conc. based on:
- act. ingr.
- Basis for effect:
- inhibition of total respiration
- Details on results:
- No significant inhibition effects were observed after 3 hours exposure. Based on the nominal concentrations, the EC20-, EC50- and EC80 of the test substance were graphically determined to be over 100 mg/L. Therefore, the NOEC is determinded as 100 mg/L. See Table 1 in "Any other information in results incl. tables" for an overview of the results.
- Results with reference substance (positive control):
- Based on the nominal concentrations, the EC50 of the reference substance was graphically determined to be 22 mg/L.
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Remarks:
- See "Any other information on materials and methods incl. tables"
- Conclusions:
- After the incubation period of three hours, the test substance had ≤ 21% inhibition on the respiration rate of activated sludge at concentrations up to and including 116 mg/L, the highest concentration tested. Based on the findings, the 3-hour EC20, EC50 and EC80 were ≥100 mg/L. Therefore, the NOEC was determinded to be 100 mg/L.
- Executive summary:
The inhibitory effects of the test substance on the respiration of aerobic waste water bacteria were studied according to OECD guidelines No. 209 (April 1984) at nominal concentrations of 1.05, 4.5, 12.0, 32.0 and 116.0 mg/L. There were two separate controls and 3,5-dichlorophenol as a reference substance at concentrations of 3.2, 10 and 32 mg/L. Instead a centrifuged sludge a settled sludge was used. Due to the poor solubility of the test substance at test concentrations, no stock solution was prepared. The test substance was given directly into the medium. The test was carried out in complicance in GLP and at a temperature of 20 ± 2°C. After the incubation period of three hours, the test substance had ≤ 21% inhibition on the respiration rate of activated sludge at concentrations up to and including 116 mg/L, the highest concentration tested. Relatively great variation in the results were observed due to bad distribution of the test substance in the test medium. Based on the findings the 3-hour EC20, EC50 and EC80 of the test substance were ≥100 mg/L, and the EC50 of the reference substance was graphically determined to be 22 mg/L. Therefore, the NOEC was determined to be 100 mg/L.

The relatively great variations of the values are due to the extremely bad distribution of the test substance in the test medium.
Description of key information
All available data was assessed. The study representing the worst-case effects was included here and its effect value was used as the key value. Other studies are included as supporting information.

3-h EC50 > 100 mg/L; Activated sludge; inhibition of total respiration; OECD TG 209; Bader, 1990
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- EC10 or NOEC for microorganisms:

Additional information
Two studies are available for this endpoint. The study representing the worst-case effects was included as the key study and its effect value was used in the CSA. In the key study, the inhibitory effects of the test substance on the respiration of aerobic wastewater bacteria were studied according to OECD TG 209 at nominal concentrations of 1.05, 4.5, 12.0, 32.0 and 116.0 mg/L. There were two separate controls and 3,5-dichlorophenole as a reference substance at concentrations of 3.2, 10 and 32 mg/L. The 3-hour EC50 and NOEC of the test substance were determined to be ≥100 mg/Land 100 mg/L, respectively (Bader 1990, GLP, Reliability 1). The second study on an activated sewage sludge system supported these results showing no significant effect of the test substance up to 100 mg/L in a 5-day test (Spare 1980, no standard guidelines followed, GLP not specified, Reliability 2).
