Sampling and analysis
- Analytical monitoring:
- no
- Details on sampling:
- No details available
Test solutions
- Vehicle:
- no
- Details on test solutions:
- Before use the wet weight/dry weight relationship of the activated sludge was determined by drying 10 mL of sludge suspension. Subsequently, a sludge suspension of 2 g (dry weight)/L was prepared. The pH of this suspension was measured and adjusted to 6-8.
8 mL of the synthetic medium and 100 mL of activated sludge were added to the dissolved test item. The mixture was filled up with deionised water to 250 mL and aerated at 20 ± 2 °C.
The exposure medium with the reference substance was prepared by adding 8 mL of the synthetic medium, 100 mL of activated sludge and a defined amount of the stock solution to achieve the test concentrations, and was filled up with deionised water to 250 mL and aerated at 20 ± 2°C.
Control vessels (inoculated sample without test item) were prepared the same way.
Test organisms
- Test organisms (species):
- activated sludge, domestic
- Details on inoculum:
- The sludge was settled and the supernatant was decanted. After centrifuging the sludge (15 min at 4500 rpm and 20°C) the supernatant was decanted again. Approximately 1 g of the wet sludge was dried in order to calculate the amount of wet sludge to achieve a concentration of activated sludge of 3 g/L (dry weight) suspended solids. The calculated amount of sludge was dissolved in synthetic medium and then filled up to a defined end volume with deionised water.

No measured concentrations - Details on test conditions:
- Direct weighings were prepared to give the different test item concentrations. The test item was added into Erlenmeyer flasks (incubation vessels) to about 130 mL deionised water and was stirred before testing (equilibration phase) overnight for 16 hours. The pH was measured and ranged between pH 2.3 and pH 4.0 and was adjusted to pH 7.2 – 7.4.
For the reference compound a stock solution at a concentration of 500 mg/L was prepared by dissolving 250 mg 3,5-Dichlorophenol in 5 mL of 1 N NaOH and diluting to 0.5 litre with deionised water. The pH was adjusted to pH 7 ± 0.5 with HCl. - Reference substance (positive control):

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Remarks:
- All validity criteria of the test method were met.
- Conclusions:
- The EC50 is higher than 1000 mg/L
- Executive summary:
A study was performed to assess the toxicity of Additin E 459 to bacteria.
The study was conducted in accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 440/2008, Method C.11 ”Biodegradation: Activated Sludge Respiration Inhibition Test” (2008). This test method is equal to OECD Guideline 209 (1984).
The activated sludge was exposed to Additin E 459 at different concentrations. The respiration rate of each mixture was determined after aeration periods of 3 hours.
Additin E 459 showed 13.88 % respiration inhibition of activated sludge at a test item concentration of 1000 mg/L.
The EC50 is higher than 1000 mg/L.
The effect value relates to a nominal concentration, since no analytical monitoring was performed.
