Study design
- Oxygen conditions:
- aerobic
- Inoculum or test system:
- activated sludge, domestic, non-adapted
- Details on inoculum:
- - Source of inoculum: the activated sludge was collected on the day of the test from a sewage treatment works, treating predominantly domestic waste
- Preparation of inoculum for exposure: once in the laboratory it was aerated for 4 hours. A sample of the mixed liquor was then homogenised in a mechanical blender and allowed to settle for 45 minutes. An aliquot of the supernatant was passed through a filter paper to remove coarse solids and

Calcium chloride dihydrate 36.40 g/L

Stock 5:
Ammonium sulphate 40 g/L
The test medium was prepared by adding 4 mL of Stock 1, 1 mL of Stock 2, 1 mL of Stock 3, 2 mL of Stock 4 and 1 mL of Stock 5 per 1 L distilled water
- Test temperature: 14-23 °C
- pH: 6.86-7.34
TEST SYSTEM
- Culturing apparatus: 5 L brown glass vessels, containing 3.5 L test medium
- Number of culture flasks/concentration: 1
- Method used to create aerobic conditions: test vessels were aerated overnight prior to test initiation with air that had been passed through cylinders containing Carbosorb AS followed by 12 one-litre bottles containing 10N sodium hydroxide and one containing 0.25 barium hydroxide to remove CO2
- Details of trap for CO2 and volatile organics if used: the CO2 produced by each culture was trapped in a series of Dreschel bottles containing barium hydroxide which were connected to the outlet from each test vessel. The residual barium hydroxide was determined at intervals by titration with hydrochloric acid using phenolphthalein indicator
SAMPLING
- Sampling frequency: samples were collected at 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 12, 16, 20, 27 and 28 days
CONTROL AND BLANK SYSTEM
- Inoculum blank: 1
- Toxicity control: prior to the test an additional assay was performed in order to assess the potential of the test substance to inhibit bacterial activity. In this assay, mineral salts medium inoculated with sewage effluent (1 drop/L), with and without sodium benzoate (2 mg/L), was added to groups of 4 bottles containing the test material, to give nominal Fluroxypyr methyl ester concentrations of 2 and 10 mg/L. Control groups of bottles contained mineral salts medium alone, inoculated mineral salts medium or inoculated mineral salts containing sodium benzoate. The concentrations of dissolved oxygen in duplicate bottles from each group were measured at the start of the test and after incubation in darkness for five days at 20 °C.

- Remarks on result:
- other: 20 mg/L test concentration
- Details on results:
- The test substance did not reach the pass level of 60% biodegradation within the test period. Therefore, it can not be considered as readily biodegradable. The inhibition assay conducted additionally to the main test showed that the substance is not inhibitory to bacteria. The level of degradation of sodium benzoate after 5 days of incubation was 54%, and in the presence of 2 and 10 mg/L test substance, this degradation was unaffected (57% and 54% biodegradation respectively)
BOD5 / COD results
- Results with reference substance:
- Sodium benzoate reached 61% biodegradation within 6 days, and a final degradation value of 84% on day 28
