Details on results:
3 hr EC50 of sodium chlorite > 100 mg/LInhibition of the respiration rate at 0.1, 0.316, 1, 3.16, 10, 31.6 and 100 mg/L were 9 %, 11 %, 3 %, 14 %, 14 %, 22 % and 35 %, respectively, relative to the mean of the controls. Hence, a significant inhibition of the respiration rate (> 15% relative to mean of controls) was noted from 31.6 mg/L/
Results with reference substance (positive control):
3 h EC50 of Reference item > 13.2 mg/L with 95% confidence limits of 11.3 – 15.6 mg/L
Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
The 3 h EC50 of sodium chlorite was > 100 mg/L for activated sludge (equivalent to >75 mg chlorite/L).
Executive summary:

The aim of the test was to study the toxitity to activated sludge due to the test material.

The test procedure was OECD Guideline 209 (Activated Sludge, Respiration Inhibition Test).

Initial concentrations: 0.1, 0.316, 1, 3.16, 10, 31.6 and 100 mg/L (Doses are equivalent to 0.075, 0.24, 0.75, 2.4, 7.5, 24 and 75 mg chlorite/L).

The result was as follows:

The 3 h EC50 of sodium chlorite was > 100 mg/L for activated sludge (equivalent to >75 mg chlorite/L).
