- Details on inoculum:
- - Name and location of sewage treatment plant where inoculum was collected:
JAMES Wastewater Treatment Plant- Abbotsford BC
- Preparation of inoculum for exposure: Upon arrival at the laboratory, sludge was poured through a 900 µm² Nytex mesh to remove large particles. The sludge was thn split into 500 mL centrifuge bottles and spunat 2500 rpm for 10 minutes (4°C). Supernatant was discarded and the concentrated sludge was resuspended in dechlorinated tap water. The washing step (centrifugation and suspension) was repeated twice more. The washed sludge was then brought up to 14L with dechlorinated tap water, placed in a glass jar, wrapped in aluminum foil, aerated and mixed at test tempearture until use (2 days after collection). Sludge was fed with synthetic sewage feed (50 mL synthetic sewage feed).
The day before the test, aliquots of sludge were dried to determine solids content and was further diluted to 3 g sludge solids/L, resulting in a nominal concentration of 1.5 ± 0.2 g suspended solid/L in test vessels. Samples were taken again at the test initiation showed 3.1 g suspended solids/L, resulting in 1.55 g suspended solids/L in test vessels. - Test type:

- Details on termination of incubation: After the 3-hour exposure, a sample was transferred to a BOD bottle. The BOD bottle was then tapped to dislodge bubbles and a self stirring DO probe (YSI Model 58 Dissolved Oxygen Meter) was inserted and probe stirrer turned on. Measurements were taken every 30 seconds for 10 minutes until the DO reading was 0.0 mg/L Data outside the 2-7 minute range was removed.
EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED (with observation intervals if applicable): DIssolved oxygen concentration. Dissolved oxygen depletion and time interval were trimmed from two to seven minutes, correlated, and the slope of the regression line was calculated as the respiration rate.
TEST CONCENTRATIONS

- EC50: 13.5 mg/L. The EC50 was within the 5 to 25 mg/L range considered acceptable for the test. There was a two day period between the tests (21st August, 2019). - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- NOEC was not determined in study report. The EC10 was not considered reliable due to enhancement of respiration at lower concentrations. NOEC was calculated using a 1-tailed T-test in Microsoft Excel (250 mg/L p=0.26, 500 mg/L p=0.0000001).
- Validity criteria fulfilled:

- Conclusions:
- 3 hour EC50 = 410.3 mg/L in activated sludge for respiration inhibition (OECD 209)
3 hour NOEC = 250 mg/L in activated sludge for respiration inhibition (OECD 209) - Executive summary:
The toxicity of MTDID 18990 to activated sludge was assessed according to the OECD 209 guideline in a definitive test conducted at 62.5, 125, 250, 500, 1000 mg/L. The validity criteria were met based on an acceptable level of oxygen uptake in control samples, acceptable variation among control replicates and a typical level of inhibition with the positive control. The 3-hour EC50 (respiration) of MTDID 18990 to activated sludge is 410.3 mg/L. A NOEC of 250 mg/L was calculated via a 1 -tailed T-Test. The study followed an international standard method and is GLP compliant. Therefore the study is deemed reliable without restrictions and can be utilized to calculate a PNEC for STP.
