- Executive summary:
In a 3 h Respiration Inhibition Test according to OECD Guideline 209, adopted 22 July 2010, activated sludge obtained from a municipal treatment plant was exposed to ETMA at nominal concentrations of 10, 32, 100, 320 and 1000 mg/L under static conditions. In order to check the activity of the test system and the test conditions a reference test was carried out with copper (II) sulphate pentahydrate as reference item.
The reference item produced the appropriate response.
The NOEC of ETMA based on respiration inhibition of activated sludge is 32 mg/L. The EC10 is 72.8 mg/L. The EC50 is 557 mg/L.
Results Synopsis
Test Organism: activated sludge
Test Type: Static
3 hr EC10: 72.8mg/L 95% C.I.: 62.6 - 84.7 mg/L
3 hr EC50: 557mg/L 95% C.I.: 495 - 634 mg/L
3 hr NOEC: 32 mg/L
Endpoint(s) Effected:respiration inhibition
Reference
Validity criteria:
The mean specific oxygen uptake rate of the control replicates was 19.6 mg O2/g×h (validity criterion: should be >/=20 mg O2/g h). This is only slightly below the recommended value and is therefore considered to have no impact on the quality and integrity of the study.
The coefficient of variation of the oxygen uptake rates in the control replicates was 4.1% (validity criterion: < 30%).
The EC50 of the reference item was in the range of 53 - 155 mg/L.
Description of key information
EC10 = 72.8 mg/L; OECD Guideline 209; GLP; activated sludge respiration inhibition (static)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- EC10 or NOEC for microorganisms:
- 72.8 mg/L
Additional information
For the assessment of toxicity to microorganisms of ETMA two reliable (RL=1 - 2), relevant and adequate studies are available:
In a 3 h Respiration Inhibition Test according to OECD Guideline 209, adopted 22 July 2010, activated sludge obtained from a municipal treatment plant was exposed to ETMA at nominal concentrations of 10, 32, 100, 320 and 1000 mg/L under static conditions. In order to check the activity of the test system and the test conditions a reference test was carried out with copper (II) sulphate pentahydrate as reference item. The reference item produced the appropriate response.
The NOEC of ETMA based on respiration inhibition of activated sludge is 32 mg/L. The EC10 is 72.8 mg/L. The EC50 is 557 mg/L.
This study is supported by the results of a test on ready biodegradation which included a toxicity control:
The ready biodegradation of ETMA was investigated in a study conducted according to OECD Guideline 301 D (Ready Biodegradability: Closed Bottle Test), adopted 17 July 1992 and EU Method C.4-E (Determination of the "Ready" Biodegradability - Closed Bottle Test), over a period of 28 days. The type of inoculum was not specified in the study report. The biodegradation rate was determined by measurement of O2 consumption. Inoculum blank and procedural/functional control with the reference substance sodium benzoate were performed.
The functional control reached the pass level >60% after 14 d. The biodegradation of the test substance remained below 5% throughout the study period of 28 d (1.1 – 4.3%). No biodegradation was observed under the conditions of the present study.
The biodegradation in the toxicity control ranged between 41.0 and 42.4%. According to the criteria of the OECD guideline 301 D a substance can be assumed to be inhibitory, if less than 25% (based on total ThOD) degradation occurred within 14 days. Thus, ETMA did not inhibit bacterial activity at a concentration of 1.65 mg/L
