- Executive summary:
In a GLP study conducted according to OECD guideline 209, EC# 434-650-5 was assessed for its ability to inhibit the respiration rate of activated sludge in a static freshwater system for 3 h.
Since the test material was poorly soluble in aqueous media, aliquots calculated to nominally provide concentrations of 1, 10 or 100 mg/L were dissolved in tetrahydrofuran, coated over the inside surfaces of glass beakers and the solvent evaporated under nitrogen. Single beakers were prepared for the low- and mid-doses and three beakers for the high-dose. The final volume of the incubation mixture was: 200 ml activated sludge, 16 ml synthetic sewage and 284 ml dechlorinated tap water. Duplicate beakers were prepared for the negative control and one each for the three concentrations of a positive control, 3,5-dichlorophenol. The prepared mixtures were then aerated for 3 h using compressed air. Following exposure, samples were removed and the rate of oxygen consumption measured; pH and temperature were measured at the start and end of the study.
There was no evidence of an inhibitory effect of the test material on the respiration rate, therefore an EC50 could not be established. The positive control reduced the respiration rate in a dose-related manner, demonstrating the validity of the test.
In conclusion, no evidence of a significant inhibitory effect on the respiration rate was seen when activated sludge was treated with EC# 434-650-5 at concentrations of up to 100 mg/L for 3 h. In view of the structural and chemical similarities, it is considered that the results of this study can be used for read-across to EC# 457-320-2.

Description of key information
In an activated sludge respiration inhibition test, the NOELR was 100 mg/L (nominal loading rate), the highest concentration tested.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- EC10 or NOEC for microorganisms:
- 100 mg/L
Additional information
No toxicity to microorganisms studies are available for EC# 457-320-2; however, one is available for the structurally and chemically similar substance, EC# 434-650-5: an activated sludge respiration inhibition test, conducted to GLP and in accordance with OECD Test Guideline 209.
Due to the poor water solubility of the test substance, aliquots calculated to nominally provide concentrations of 1, 10 or 100 mg/L were dissolved in tetrahydrofuran, coated over the inside surfaces of glass beakers and the solvent evaporated under nitrogen. The final volume of the incubation mixture was: 200 ml activated sludge, 16 ml synthetic sewage and 284 ml dechlorinated tap water.
There was no evidence of an inhibitory effect of the test material on the respiration rate, therefore an EC50 could not be established. The positive control reduced the respiration rate in a dose-related manner, demonstrating the validity of the test.
In view of the structural and chemical similarities, it is considered that the results of this study can be used for read-across to EC# 457-320-2.
