EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED
Oxygen consumption was measured over a period of 10 rinutes. During measurement, the sample was not aerated but continuously stirred on a magnetic stirrer.
The apparatus used for oxygen measurements was the WTW OXI 91(Wissenschaftlich-Technische Werkstaetten, Weilheim/Federal Republic of Germany).
The pH was determined with the pH 90 (WTW, Weilheim/FRG).
SAMPLING and ANALYSIS
After 180 minutes of aeration at 21 °C, the first sample was taken for oxygen measurement over a period of up to 10 minutes. Thereafter, in 15 minutes intervals, the rest of the samples were submitted to measurement of oxygen concentration.
Sampling was started with the control 1; thereafter, the measurements were continued with the positive controls and the test article samples. FinalIy, the oxygen consumption of control 2 was determined.
VALIOATION OF THE TESTS
The tests are validated by testing a known standard. i.e.3,5-dichlorophenol. The related IC50-value should be in the range of 5 - 30 mg/l.
Furthermore, the variation between the two control samples (start, end) should not be greater than 15 % of their mean. - Reference substance (positive control):
- yes
- Remarks:
- 3,5-Dichlorphenol
- Duration:
- 3 h
- Dose descriptor:
- IC50
- Effect conc.:
- > 100 mg/L
- Nominal / measured:
- nominal
- Conc. based on:
- test mat.
- Basis for effect:
- inhibition of total respiration
- Details on results:
- Due to aeration of the test mediun with test article, a foamy solution was obtained where mainly the foam was coloured. Under these conditlons, the respiration rate of the sludge was not inhibited (-2.4 %) at the hlghest concentrationts tested.
- Results with reference substance (positive control):
- At a concentration of the standard of 3.2 mg/l, the respiration rate was slightly inhibited to 16.7 %. The IC50 was found to be about 8.5 mg/l.
Almöst complete inhibition (92.9 %) was observed at 50 mg/l. - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Remarks:
- IC50 of positive control was in the range of 5 - 30 mg/l and the variation between the two control samples was lower than 15 % of their mean
- Conclusions:
- IC50 (3h) > 100 mg/l (nominal)
- Executive summary:
The inhibitory effect of test item on aerobic waste-water bacteria was investigated in a respiration test, according to the OECD guideline 209. Two concentrations were assayed, over a period of 3 hours: 10 and 100 mg/l, nominal. The test article showed no inhibition (-2.4 %) of the respiration rate up to a concentration of 100 mg/l. The IC50 for 3,5-dichlorophenol tested under the same conditions was about 8.5 mg/l.
Conclusion
IC50 (3h) > 100 mg/l (nominal)

Additional information
The inhibitory effect of Acid Violet 048 on aerobic waste-water bacteria was investigated in a respiration test, according to the OECD guideline 209. Two studies are available.
In the key study, two concentrations were assayed over the period of 3 hours: 10 and 100 mg/l, nominal. The test article showed no inhibition (-2.4 %) of the respiration rate up to a concentration of 100 mg/l.
In the second experiment, the nominal concentration for the definitive test was established on the basis of the range-finding study outcomes: the substance was tested at 1.0, 10, 100 and 1000 mg/l. 94 % of inhibition was recorded at the highested tested concentration and 78 % of inhibition was recorded at 100 mg/l. Thus, the limit test was conducted at 10 mg/l. During the definitive test, no inhibition occurred in the test vessels.
The effects recorded at 100 mg/l differ among the two experiments, thus the available data on Acid Violet 048 acid form has also been taken into consideration in order to better clarify the inhibitory effect potential.
The activated sludge respiration inhibition test on Acid Violet 048 acid form was conducted with a mixed population of activated sewage sludge microorganisms, over a period of 3 hours. Also in this case, the nominal concentration for the definitive test was established on the basis of the range-finding study outcomes: the substance was tested at 1.0, 10, 100 and 1000 mg/l. 95 % of inhibition was recorded at 1000 mg/l, 14 % of inhibition was recorded at 100 mg/l, 6 % of inhibition was recorded at 10 and 1 mg/l. Thus, the limit test was conducted at 100 mg/l.
The outcomes obtained into the experiment conducted with Acid Violet 048 acid form, agree with those obtained into the key experiment conducted with Acid Violet 048. It seems to be appropriate to conclude that the IC50 (3h) can be indicated as higher than 100 mg/l.
