- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
- Method: The test item was not sufficiently soluble to allow preparation of an aqueous solution at a concentration of 10 g/L. Therefore, weighed amounts were added to the dark brown test-bottles containing 200 mL Milli-RO water (tap water purified by reverse osmosis; Millipore Corp., Bedford, Mass., USA). The test item – Milli-RO water mixtures were magnetically stirred for a short period and subsequently, 16 mL synthetic medium made up to 50 mL with Milli-RO water and 250 mL sludge were added resulting in the required loading rates. Optimal contact between the test item and test organisms was ensured by applying continuous aeration and stirring.
- Concentration: 3.2, 10, 32, 100, 320 mg/L
PREPARATION OF REFERENCE ITEM SOLUTION: 3,5-dichlorophenol
- Method: A 1.0 g/L stock solution was prepared by dissolving 250.8 mg 3,5-dichlorophenol in
Milli-RO water and making up to a total volume of 250 mL. The pH as used for the test was 7.9 in both the combined limit/range-finding and final test. The 3,5-dichlorophenol stock solution was stored in a freezer (≤-15℃) until use. The reference item solution was defrosted at room temperature and diluted to reach the test concentrations. Volumes of 0.5, 1.6, 5.0 and 16 mL from the stock solution were added to the test medium resulting in the final test concentrations of 1.0, 3.2, 10 and 32 mg/L respectively.

- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of this present test 3- Chloroperoxybenzoic Acid was not toxic to waste water bacteria (activated sludge) at or below a loading rate of 10 mg/L (NOELR).
The ELR10 was at a loading rate of 20 mg/L (95% confidence interval: 16 - 23 mg/L).
The ELR20 was at a loading rate of 29 mg/L (95% confidence interval: 25 - 33 mg/L).
The ELR50 was at a loading rate of 64 mg/L (95% confidence interval: 58 – 69 mg/L). - Executive summary:
The objective of the study was to evaluate 3- Chloroperoxybenzoic Acid for its ability to adversely affect aerobic microbial treatment plants and, if possible, to determine the ELR50and/or the no-observed effect loading rate (NOELR).
The influence of 3- Chloroperoxybenzoic Acid 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. The batch of 3- Chloroperoxybenzoic Acid tested had a purity of 72% (iodometric titration). No correction was made for the purity/composition of the test item. The test item was not sufficiently soluble to allow preparation of an aqueous solution at a concentration of 10 g/L. Therefore, weighed amounts were added to the test bottles containing Milli-RO water. The test item – Milli-RO water mixtures were magnetically stirred for a short period and subsequently, synthetic medium, sludge and Milli-RO water were added resulting in the required loading rates. Optimal contact between the test item and test medium was ensured by applying continuous aeration and stirring during the 3-hour exposure period. Thereafter, oxygen consumption was recorded for approximately 10 minutes.
The final test was performed based on the result of a preceding combined limit/range-finding test. Five loading rates were tested, ranging from 3.2 mg/L to 320 mg/L and increasing with a factor 3.2. Five replicates per loading rate and sixreplicates for an untreated control group were tested.
No statistically significant inhibition of the respiration rate of the sludge was recorded at or below a loading rate of 10 mg 3- Chloroperoxybenzoic Acid per litre. At higher loading rates the inhibitory effect of 3- Chloroperoxybenzoic Acid on aerobic waste water (activated sludge) bacteria increased with increasing loading rate, ranging from 21% inhibition at 32 mg/L to 99% at 320 mg/L.
The batch of activated sludge was tested for sensitivity with the reference item 3,5-dichlorophenol, and showed normal sensitivity.
The study met the acceptability criteria prescribed by the study plan and was considered valid.
3- Chloroperoxybenzoic Acid was not toxic to waste water (activated sludge) bacteria at or below a loading rate of 10 mg/L (NOELR). The effect parameters for the inhibition of the respiration rate are presented below:
NOELR = 10 mg/L
ELR10 = 20 mg/L (16 -23 mg/L)
ELR20 = 29 mg/L (25 -33 mg/L)
ELR50= 64 mg/L (58 -69 mg/L)
( ) Between brackets the 95% confidence intervals are given.
