TEST CONCENTRATIONS
Inhibition of Respiration (Preliminary Tests)
Inhibitions in the Preliminary Tests
A preliminary test (non GLP) was carried out with the following test item concentrations of Hostacerin DGSB:
10 - 1000 mg/L with two replicates each. The pH was not adjusted.
In the preliminary test, additional replicates were prepared to determine the inhibition of nitrification. Two replicates 1000 mg/L were measured with addition ofAllylthiourea ATU.
No indication for the requirement to measure the inhibition of nitrification in the definitive study was observed, even the inhibitions of the heterotrophic respiration or nitrification show no appreciable value.

Based on the results of the preliminary test it could concluded that the heterotrophic respiration as well as the nitrification are not inhibited. Therefore, the definitive study was carried out with the concentration of 1000 mg/L in 3 replicates (limit test to determine the NOEC). The concentration was weighed out directlyin the Erlenmeyer flasks.
Triplicates of the control without test item were included at the beginning and at the end of the test.
A fresh sample of activated sludge taken from the sewage plant Hildesheim was used for the test procedure. It was washed twice and adjusted with chlorine free tap water if necessary to a dry sludge concentration of 3.0 g/L ± 10 %.
The reference item was tested with three concentrations within the concentration range 58 - 180 mg/L and a dilution factor of 1.8. - Reference substance (positive control):
- yes
- Remarks:
- Copper (II) sulphate pentahydrate p.a.

- Reported statistics and error estimates:
- The NOEC was determined by calculation of statistical significance of the inhibition of respiration in comparison to the control. One Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used for NOEC calculation. When running a One Way Analysis of Variance a Normality test and an Equal Variance test were done first. P-value for both tests was 0.05. The P-value (acceptable probability of incorrectly concluding that there is a difference) is P=0.05.
The EC-value of the reference item was calculated by linear regression using software GraphPad Prism. Calculation of the confidence intervals for the EC50-value was carried out using standard procedures. The coefficient of variation of the oxygen uptake rates of the control replicates was calculated with standard methods using Excel.
Any other information on results incl. tables
From the oxygen depletion the oxygen uptake rates were calculated in mg O2/L×h, additionally the specific respiration rates based on the dry sludge concentration were calculated in mg O2/g×h.
The inhibition of the oxygen uptake rates of the test and reference item concentrations in % was calculated in comparison with the oxygen uptake rates of the control.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The NOEC of the test item is ≥ 1000 mg/L.
The test item caused no inhibiting effects on activated sludge of a municipal sewage treatment plant at the limit test item concentration of 1000 mg/L. - Executive summary:
A Respiration Inhibition Test with activated sludge according to OECD Guideline No. 209 (2010) was carried out with the test item from 2017 -02 -09 to 2017 -02 -10, with the definitive exposure phase on 2017 -02 -10 at the test facility. The test system was activated sludge of the municipal treatment plant of 31137 Hildesheim, Germany. The test was carried out under static conditions with the limit test item concentration 1000 mg/L. The respiration rates of the control, reference and test item replicates were measured after a contact time of three hours, and the inhibitory effects of the test and reference item were determined in comparison to the control respiration rates. The mean inhibition of respiration for the test item replicates was - 6%.
In order to check the activity of the test system and the test conditions a reference test was carried out with copper (II) sulphate pentahydrate as reference item and the reference toxicity was determined. The EC50-value for the reference item was 107 mg/L. The validity criteria of thetest guideline were fulfilled.
