The study is classified as valid.
- Results with reference substance (positive control):
- The reference substance shows an EC50 in the specified range (usual range of EC50 in the laboratory was 4.5 -11.9 mg/L in the year 2012). In the year 2012 the used activated sludge which was collected from the same waste water treatment plant showed a maximum oxygen
consumption of 35.3 mg/g*h and minimum oxygen consumption of 11.8 mg/g*h. For this the study is classified as valid.
No deviations from the test guidelines or other incidents occurred during the course of the reported test which may have influenced the results.
In order to verify that the microorganisms are responding normally to toxic stress, tests with a reference substance are conducted according to OECD 209 guideline. The results from the reference substance test are compared to EC50 values published in OECD 209 guideline, which represent the typical response range.
According to the test guideline OECD 209 the EC50 values of the reference substance 3,5-dichlorophenol should be in the range of 2-25 mg/L after 3 hours of incubation.
The EC50 of the reference substance 3,5-dichlorophenol was in the range of 2-25 mg/L in 3 hours.
These results indicate that the microorganisms are responding normally to toxicant stress.

Conclusion
The absence of a toxic potential to aquatic microorganisms was demonstrated byassays for2-Propenoic acid, C12-14-alkyl esters (CAS 84238-60-8), 2-Propenoic acid, C16-18-alkyl esters (CAS 90530-21-5), and 2-Propenoic acid, C18-26-alkyl esters (CAS 85085-17-2).No toxicity to bacteria was observed, the EC10 / EC50 values were, depending on the test conditions, > 100 mg/L. Thus, concentrations of the test substances were several orders of magnitude above the limit of solubility. There is, however, no indication that the undissolved test substances interfered with bacterial respiration or the functioning of the test system. In conclusion, all members of the category (C12-C22) are considered to be non-toxic to microorganisms. Hence no inhibition of biodegradability in STPs or in the environment is expected.

Additional information
2-Propenoic acid, C12-14-alkyl ester was tested withPseudomonas putidain accordance to DIN 8192. The test concentrations were 100, 1000 and 10000 mg/L. The EC0 was >= 10000 mg/L and the EC10 was also greater than 10000 mg/L (BASF SE 1988).
A study according to OECD No. 209 was performed to determine the effect of different concentrations of the test substance, 2-Propenoic acid, C16-18-alkyl esters (CAS 90552-04-8) on the oxygen consumption of microbial-inoculum, compared to the blank control. The test was conducted at concentrations of 62.5, 125, 250, 500 and 1000 mg/L. Based on these results, the EC50 value was calculated to be greater than 1000 mg/L (BASF SE, 2012).
A determination of the inhibition of oxygen consumption in the activated sludge respiration inhibition test for the test substance2-Propenoic acid, C18-22-alkyl esterswas performed. The study was conducted according to test guideline OECD Guideline 209.
The test was conducted at concentrations 1000, 500, 250, 125, 62.5 mg/L as nominal concentration based on test substance without correction of purity or composition and blank controls. Incubation time was 3 hours. Sludge concentration in the test: 1.5 g/L and the inoculum was activated sludge from a municipal wastewater treatment plant from the municipal wastewater treatment plant of Mannheim, Germany. Based on these results, the EC50 value was calculated to be greater than 1000 mg/L (BASF SE, 2011).
