TREATMENT OF TEST MATERIAL PRIOR TO TESTING
- Treatment of test material prior to testing: The solubility of the test material was stated to be 0.00538g/Litre at 20°C and a surfactant was therefore used to emulsify the sample. To prepare the emulsion, 0.5007g of Tricylopentadiene (Distilled) was intimately mixed with 0.2502g of non-ionic surfactant (IGEPAL CA 630). The emulsion was gradually diluted by the addition of deionised water and then made up to volume (500ml) to give a concentration of 1.0014g/L.
FORM AS APPLIED IN THE TEST (if different from that of starting material) The solubility of the test material was stated to be 0.00538g/Litre at 20°C and a surfactant was therefore used to emulsify the sample. To prepare the emulsion, 0.5007g of Tricylopentadiene (Distilled) was intimately mixed with 0.2502g of non-ionic surfactant (IGEPAL CA 630). The emulsion was gradually diluted by the addition of deionised water and then made up to volume (500ml) to give a concentration of 1.0014g/L.

All buffer solutions were added at 1ml/L to a total volume of 40L of deionised water.
Secondary effluent was added at 1ml/L to a total volume of 3.5L of deionised water.
- Additional substrate: None
- Solubilising agent (type and concentration if used): The emulsifying agent was non-ionic surfactant (IGEPAL CA 630). To prepare the emulsion, 0.5007g of Tricylopentadiene (Distilled) was intimately mixed with 0.2502g of non-ionic surfactant (IGEPAL CA 630). The emulsion was gradually diluted by the addition of deionised water and then made up to volume (500ml) to give a concentration of 1.0014g/L.
- Test temperature: The bottles are incubated in the dark at 22 ±2ºC
- pH: Not specified
- pH adjusted: no
- Aeration of dilution water: The dilution water was prepared by adding secondary effluent inoculum and mineral nutrient stock solutions to deionised water, aerating it strongly for 20 minutes (using an air pump and air stone that is placed in the media) the day before the test. The media is then left to settle/stand for 22 hours before the addition of the secondary effluent inoculum and the initiation of the test.
- Continuous darkness: yes
TEST SYSTEM
- Culturing apparatus: 250ml BOD bottles filled to absolute volume with the test material dissolved in the test medium and sealed with a glass stopper
- Number of culture flasks/concentration: 1 replicate (Control), 2 replicates (TCPD at 1.0014g/L on days 7 & 14) 3 replicates (TCPD at 1.0014g/L.on days 21 & 28)
- Method used to create aerobic conditions: Not specified
- Measuring equipment: Dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations were measured using a dissolved oxygen meter
- Test performed in closed vessels due to significant volatility of test substance: No, test item, non-volatile
- Test performed in open system: No
SAMPLING: No sampling
CONTROL AND BLANK SYSTEM
- Inoculum blank: To account for any degradation of the surfactant in test vessels, a series of surfactant control bottles were prepared by addition of the surfactant stock to inoculated mineral medium (1ml/L) to give a final concentration of 1.0mg/L, representing the final concentration of the surfactant in test sample bottles. These were used as the blank values for the test material.
- Abiotic sterile control: No
- Toxicity control: No
STATISTICAL METHODS: None specified - Reference substance:
- other: Sodium acetate tested at 5.02 mg/L.
- Test performance:
- Tricylopentadiene (Distilled) is not readily biodegradable under the conditions of this test. The test item failed to meet the requirements for a pass in this test (≥60% degradation relative to the ThOD value) as a maximum of -5% was recorded on day 7.
The solubility of Tricylopentadiene (Distilled) was stated to be 0.00538g/Litre at 20°C. A surfactant (IGEPAL CA 360) was used to emulsify the sample. The effects of surfactant degradation were taken into account when calculating the degradation of the test material.
The guideline requires that the reference material (Sodium acetate at 5.02mg/L.) degrades by at least 60% of its ThOD, and that the blank dissolved oxygen loss does not exceed 1.5mg/L after 28 days. Both these criteria were satisfied for this test; a maximum value of 82% degradation of sodium acetate was achieved on day 21, and the blank DO loss was 1.44mg/L recorded on day 28. In addition, the residual DO values should not fall below 0.5mg/L in the test vessels, a minimum value of 6.74mg/L was recorded on day 28 and satisfies this validity criterion. - Key result
