- Results with reference substance (positive control):
- - Results with reference substance valid? Yes
- Relevant effect levels: EC50: 107 mg/L - 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 calculations. Before running the One Way Analysis of Variance a Normality test and an Equal Variance test were done first. P-values for both Normality and Equal Variance test were 0.05. The a-value (acceptable probability of incorrectly concluding that there is a difference) is a=0.05.
The EC-value of the reference item was calculated by by linear regression using software GraphPad Prism5, GRAPHPAD SOFTWARE, INC. 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, MICROSOFT CORPORATION. - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The inhibition of the degradation activity of activated sludge is not anticipated when introduced in appropriate low concentrations.

Description of key information
The inhibition of the degradation activity of activated sludge is not anticipated when introduced in appropriate low concentrations.
NOEC (3h) >= 1000 mg/L (nominal) for activated sludge (OECD 209)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
For two ‘red disazo condensation pigments’(CAS 68516-75-6 and CAS 71566-54-6) the influence on the respiration of microorganisms were investigated in GLP guideline studies according to OECD 209 [DR.U.NOACK-LABORATORIEN, 2012; Experimental Toxicology and Ecology, BASF SE, 2012]. Both studies conducted with activated sludge from municipal sewage treatment plants, which predominantly receives domestic sewage. Up to the highest test concentration of 1000 mg/L (nominal) no inhibition on respiration observed after 3 hours of exposure.
