- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
At the start of the test, the 1st vessel was filled with 16 mL of synthetic sewage, deoinizied water and activated sludge. This procedure was repeated every 10 minutes with increasing concentrations of the test substance. Finally the test ended with the second control. Thirty minutes after the test start, the oxygen consumption content of the first vessel was determined. This procedure was repeated on the contents of the other vessels at 10 minutes intervals. After a contact time of 3 hours an identical procedure as outlined before was followed. - Test organisms (species):
- activated sludge, industrial
- Details on inoculum:
- Activated sludge from the industrial waste water treatment plant Lenzing AG Stufe 1 was collected one day before the test started.
- Preparation of inoculum for exposure: First, the sludge was washed three times with 0.9 % NaCl solution. Afterwards the sludge was aerated, synthetic medium and deionizied water were added and used within 24 hours. The pH was measured. No adjustment is necessary.

EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED (with observation intervals if applicable) : total oxygen consumption
TEST CONCENTRATIONS
- Spacing factor for test concentrations: irregular spacing
- Range finding study : Yes. Similar to range-finding test, a screening test was performed with nominal concentrations of 10, 100 and 1000 mg/L.
- Test concentrations (nominal):
1. test: 5.0, 500.0 and 1500 mg/L
2. test: 10.0, 1000.0 and 2000.0 mg/L
Definitive test: 10.0, 100.0, 500.0, 1000.0 and 2000.0 mg/L
- Results used to determine the conditions for the definitive study: Yes. The concentrations for the definitive test were determined to be 10.0, 100.0, 500.0, 1000.0 and 2000.0 mg/L - Reference substance (positive control):
- yes
- Remarks:
- 3,5-dichlorophenol
- Key result
- Duration:
- 3 h
- Dose descriptor:
- EC50
- Effect conc.:
- 636 mg/L
- Nominal / measured:
- nominal
- Conc. based on:
- test mat.
- Basis for effect:
- inhibition of total respiration
- Remarks:
- respiration rate
- Details on results:
- The results of the second test and definitive test show, that the percentage inhibition decreased at higher concentration levels (refer to tables in "Any other information on results incl. tables" below). At a concentration of 1000 mg/L the inhibition was 57 % / 68 % (2. test / definitive test). While the percentage inhibition at a concentration of 2000 mg/L was deteremined to be 39 % / 29 % (2. test / definitive test). The reason for this decrease of the percentage inhibition is unclear. Incorrectness during the test can be excluded. The test was repeated twice and the same observation was made. For the determination of the EC50 of the test substance, the 2000 mg/L-value was excluded.
- Any observations (e.g. precipitation): During the screening or other tests, no deviations from the standard procedure was observed. But the activated sludge was colored into dark brown with increasing concentrations. - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- - Results with reference substance valid? Yes
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Remarks:
- The validity criteria were met in the screening as well as in the three main tests.
- Conclusions:
- The inhibition of the respiration rate of activated sludge in the presence of propyl gallate was investigated according to ÖNORM EN ISO 8192:2007 and OECD guideline 209. The concentrations tested were 10.0, 100.0, 500.0, 1000.0 (and 2000 mg/L). The respiration rate was measured after a contact time of 30 minutes and 3 hours. The EC50 value after 3 hours exposure was determined to be 636 mg/L.
- Executive summary:
The inhibition of the respiration rate of activated sludge in the presence of propyl gallate was investigated according to ÖNORM EN ISO 8192:2007 and OECD guideline 209. The concentrations tested were 10.0, 100.0, 500.0, 1000.0 (and 2000 mg/L). The respiration rate was measured after a contact time of 30 minutes and 3 hours. The EC50 value after 3 hours exposure was determined to be 636 mg/L.
