- Executive summary:
The effect of the test substance on the activity of micro-organisms in activated sewage sludge was tested in an Activated sludge respiration inhibition test in accordance to OECD TG 209 (version 2010) under GLP. The experiment is considered relevant, adequate and conclusive.
Sewage sludge from a public sewage treatment plant processing predominantly domestic waste water was used in the study. The activated sewage sludge was sampled on the day before the tests and aerated and fed with synthetic sewage after sampling. On the day of the tests, activated sewage sludge was mixed with appropriate amounts of synthetic sewage, freshly prepared stock solutions of test item and water to a final volume of 500 mL to achieve appropriate test concentrations. In a preliminary test, test concentrations of 10, 100 and 1000 mg/L were applied and a significant inhibiting effect on the respiration of the activated sewage sludge was found at all test concentrations after a 3-hour exposure period. A definitive test with the test substance was then conducted at about 20 °C over a period of 3 hours at nominal test concentrations of 1.0, 3.2, 10, 32 and 100 mg/L, and also the positive control substance 3,5-dichlorophenol was tested at concentrations of 3.2, 10 and 32 mg/L. The dissolved oxygen concentrations in all vessels after 30 minutes ranged from 5.4 to 5.8 mg/L in the controls and from 5.4 to 6.9 mg/L in the vessels containing the test substance, and all oxygen concentrations were above 60% of the dissolved oxygen saturation level of 8.9 mg O2/liter. Oxygen consumption rates and percentage inhibition values were determined after 3 hours of exposure, and the specific respiration rate of the blank controls was 33 mg oxygen per gram dry weight of sludge per hour and the coefficient of variation of oxygen uptake rate in the control replicates was 4.2%. A 3-hour EC50 value of 75 mg/L and a 3-hour NOEC of 3.2 mg/L were found for the test substance, and the 3-hour EC50 value for the positive control substance was 9.2 mg/L (7.1 - 12 mg/L 95% confidence limit). All validation criteria were met, as the EC50 value of the positive control was in the range from 2 to 25 mg/L, the specific respiration rate of the blank controls was not less than 20 mg oxygen per gram dry weight of sludge per hour, and the coefficient of variation of oxygen uptake rate in the control replicates was less than 30%.
