Specific Gravity: 1.0 at 25°C - Analytical monitoring:
- not specified
- Details on sampling:
- In a combined limit/range-finding test loading rates of 10, 100 and 1000 mg/l were tested. The highest loading rate was tested in triplicate, lower loading rates consisted of one replicate. In addition, a blank-control (2 replicates) was included. Furthermore, an abiotic control and the highest loading rate with a nitrification inhibitor were tested.

- The batch of Benzenamine, N-phenyl-, reaction products with styrene and 2,4,4-trimethylpentene tested was a clear red-brown viscous liquid with a purity of >99%. No correction was made for the purity/composition of the test substance.
The test substance was not completely soluble in test medium at the loading rates initially prepared. Therefore, 1-Litre test bottles were filled with 200 ml of test substance mixtures in Milli-RO water (tap water purified by reverse osmosis; Millipore Corp., Bedford, Mass., USA) with initial loading rates of 2.5 times the final loading rate. These mixtures were stirred in closed dark brown bottles for approximately 24 hours. Subsequently, 16 ml synthetic medium, 250 ml sludge and Milli-RO water up to 500 ml were added resulting in the required loading rates. Optimal contact between the test substance and test organisms was ensured applying continuous aeration and stirring. - Test organisms (species):
- activated sludge of a predominantly domestic sewage
- Details on inoculum:
- Test system: Micro-organisms in activated sludge.
Source: Municipal sewage treatment plant: 'Waterschap Aa en Maas', Heeswijk-Dinther, The Netherlands, receiving predominantly domestic sewage.
Number of micro-organisms: Number of micro-organisms was determined as the amount of Mixed Liquor Suspended Solids (MLSS) per litre test medium.
Preparation of the sludge: The sludge was coarsely sieved (1 mm), washed and diluted with ISO-medium. A small amount of the sludge was weighed and dried overnight at ca. 105°C to determine the amount of suspended solids (3.0 g/l of sludge, as used for the test). The pH was 7.6 on the day of testing. The batch of sludge was used one day after collection; therefore 50 ml of synthetic medium was added per litre of activated sludge at the end of the collection day. The sludge was kept aerated at test temperature until use.
Medium: Adjusted ISO medium, formulated using RO-water (tap-water purified by reverse osmosis; GEON Waterbehandeling, Berkel-Enschot, The Netherlands) with the following composition:
CaCl2.2H2O 211.5 mg/l
MgSO4.7H2O 88.8 mg/l
NaHCO3 46.7 mg/l
KCl 4.2 mg/l - Test type:
- flow-through
- Water media type:
- freshwater
- Limit test:
- yes
- Total exposure duration:
- 3 h
- Post exposure observation period:
- No post exposure period specified within the report.
- Hardness:
- Not specified within the report.
- Test temperature:
- The temperatures measured in the various vessels ranged between 18 and 21°C.
- pH:
- The pH in all test series, before addition of sludge was between 7.3 and 7.5. After the 3 hour exposure period the pH was between 7.0 and 8.2.
- Dissolved oxygen:
- The aeration was adjusted in such a way that the dissolved oxygen concentration at the start was above 60-70% saturation (60% of air saturation is > 5 mg/l at 20°C) and to maintain the sludge flocs in suspension.
- Salinity:
- Not applicable.

- Test procedure and conditions
Contact time: 3 hours, during which aeration and stirring took place.
Vessels: All glass open bottles/vessels.
Milli-RO / Milli-Q water: Tap-water purified by reverse osmosis (Milli-RO) and subsequently passed over activated carbon and ion-exchange cartridges (Milli-Q) (Millipore Corp., Bedford, Mass., USA).
Synthetic medium (=sewage feed): 16 g peptone
11 g meat extract
3 g urea
0.7 g NaCl
0.4 g CaCl2.2H2O
0.2 g MgSO4.7H2O
2.8 g K2HPO4
Dissolved in Milli-Q water, made up to 1 litre and filtered. The pH was within 7.5 ± 0.5.
Inhibitor of nitrification: A 2.32 g/l solution of N-allylthiourea (ATU, Merck Schuchardt OHG, Hohenbrunn, Germany) was prepared. 2.5 ml of this solution was added to 500 ml final test medium (final ATU concentration: 11.6 mg/l).
Air supply: Clean, oil-free air.
Aeration: The aeration was adjusted in such a way that the dissolved oxygen concentration at the start was above 60-70% saturation (60% of air saturation is > 5 mg/l at 20°C) and to maintain the sludge flocs in suspension.
Test set up: In a combined limit/range-finding test loading rates of 10, 100 and 1000 mg/l were tested. The highest loading rate was tested in triplicate, lower loading rates consisted of one replicate. In addition, a blank-control (2 replicates) was included. Furthermore, an abiotic control and the highest loading rate with a nitrification inhibitor were tested.
Performance of the test: The synthetic medium (16 ml) and an appropriate amount of the test substance loading were mixed and made up to 250 ml with Milli-RO water in a 1 litre bottle. The pH was determined. Thereafter 250 ml activated sludge was added. This was the start of the test. The mixture was then aerated during the contact time, using a pipette as an aeration device.
After the 3-hour contact time, the oxygen consumption was recorded for 10 - 11 minutes. During measurement, the sample was not aerated but continuously stirred on a magnetic stirrer. The pH and temperature were determined in the remaining part of the reaction mixture. This procedure was repeated for all test/reference substance concentrations/loading rates and controls.
Oxygen recording: Determination of oxygen was performed with oxygen probes connected to a BlueBox (GO-Systemelektronik GmbH, Germany), a multichannel measuring and controlling system. - Reference substance (positive control):

The influence of Benzenamine, N-phenyl-, reaction products with styrene and 2,4,4-trimethylpentene on the respiration rate of activated sludge was investigated after a contact time of 3 hours.
The study procedures described in this report were based on the OECD guideline No. 209, 2010. In addition, the procedures were designed to meet the test methods of theCouncilRegulation (EC) No. 440/2008 of 30 May 2008, Publication No. L142, Part C11 and ISO Standard 8192 (2007).
The batch of Benzenamine, N-phenyl-, reaction products with styrene and 2,4,4-trimethylpentene tested was a clear red-brown viscous liquid with a purity of >99%.No correction was made for the purity/composition of the test substance.The test substance was not completely soluble in test medium at the loading rates initially prepared. Therefore, 1-Litre test bottles were filled with 200 ml of test substance mixtures in Milli-RO water with initial loading rates of 2.5 times the final loading rate.

Optimal contact between the test substance and test medium was ensured applying continuous aeration and stirring during the 3-hour exposure period. Thereafter, oxygen consumption was recorded for 10 - 11 minutes.
In a combined limit/range-finding test loading rates of 10, 100 and 1000 mg/l were tested. The highest loading rate was tested in triplicate, lower concentrations consisted of one replicate. In addition, blank-controls and a nitrification control of the sludge were included. Furthermore, an abiotic control and the highest concentration with a nitrification inhibitor were tested.
In the combined limit/range-finding test no statistically significant inhibition of the respiration rate of the sludge was recorded at a loading rate of 1000 mg Benzenamine, N-phenyl-, reaction products with styrene and 2,4,4-trimethylpentene per liter (Two Sample t-Test : α=0.05). Thus, the EC50was above the highest loading rate tested (1000 mg/l).
There was no oxygen uptake from abiotic processes and the results at 1000 mg/l with a nitrification inhibitor showed that the heterotrophic inhibition of the respiration rate was comparable to the total inhibition.
The batch of activated sludge was checked for sensitivity by testing the reference substance 3,5-dichlorophenol, which showed normal sensitivity.
The study met the acceptability criteria prescribed by the protocol and was considered valid.
In conclusion, Benzenamine, N-phenyl-, reaction products with styrene and 2,4,4-trimethylpentene was not toxic to waste water (activated sludge) bacteria at or below a loading rate of 1000 mg/l (NOEC).
The EC50exceeded a loading rate of 1000 mg/l.
