- Vehicle:

- Details on test solutions:
- The test substance was insufficiently soluble to permit addition via aqueous solution. Individually weighed quantities of test substance were added directly to the appropriate test vessels.
- Test organisms (species):
- activated sludge of a predominantly domestic sewage
- Details on inoculum:
- A synthetic sewage concentrate was used to feed the activated sludge during storage and to provide a uniform respiration substrate in the test cultures. The packets of pre-made synthetic sewage from Strathkelvin are added to water at 1 packet per 250 mL of water. Batch number 2/081 was used throughout the study.
The activated sludge inoculum was collected from the sludge return line at Pool sewage treatment works (West Yorkshire, UK), which has a predominantly domestic catchment. The point of collection was to ensure that the activated sludge sample was relatively free of exogenous material.
The sludge was transported to the test facility in a closed container with an adequate headspace to prevent the sample becoming anoxic. On arrival at the test facility, the sludge was aerated with a compressed air supply delivered through a suitable distribution device.
The suspended solids concentration was determined gravimetrically following homogenisation and adjusted using dechlorinated tap water to 3 g/L (± 0.3 g/L). The sludge was maintained at 20 ± 2 °C with aeration. During storage it was maintained at 20 ± 2 °C and fed with synthetic sewage concentrate at a rate of 50 mL/L. - Test type:

- Conclusions:
- There was no statistically significant inhibition of respiration observed during the test. The EC50 for the test item was greater than 1000 mg/L under these test conditions.
The NOEC value was determined to be 1000 mg/L, the highest concentration tested. - Executive summary:
The aim of this study was to determine the no observable effect concentration (NOAEC) and estimate the effect concentration for an x% effect (ECx) for activated sludge exposed to the test substance, where possible. The study was undertaken according to OECD Guideline 209, Activated Sludge, Respiration and Inhibition Test (Carbon and Ammonium Oxidation), adopted July, 2010.
The activated sludge inoculum for the limit test was collected from the sludge return line at Pool Sewage Treatment Works (West Yorkshire, U.K.), which has a predominantly domestic catchment. The point of collection was to ensure that the activated sludge sample was relatively free of exogenous material.
A range-finder test, employing nominal test item concentrations of 1, 10, 100 and 1000 mg/L, was undertaken to determine the appropriate concentration levels for a definitive test. The range-finder test showed no inhibition of total, or heterotrophic respiration, however, limited effects (21 % inhibition) was observed for nitrification respiration at 1000 mg/L.
Based on the results of the range-finding test, a definitive limit test was conducted at concentrations of 1, 10, 100 and 1000 mg/L. Blank controls were also included.
Limited effects (<17 % inhibition) were observed for total and heterotrophic respiration at 1 and 10 mg/L. However, there were slight enhancement effects noted (observed as negative inhibition) for total and heterotrophic respiration at 100 and 1000 mg/L. None of the above effect were determined to be statistically significant. Furthermore, no effects were observed for nitrification respiration.
Determination of EC50 was not possible and is therefore reported to be greater than 1000 mg/L (the highest concentration of the test material tested under these conditions). The NOEC for the test material is reported to be 1000 mg/L.
