Then, 250 mL inoculum was added in 5 minute intervals and the mixtures were aerated. After 3 hours, the content of the first vessel was poured in a 250 mL narrow-neck bottle and the respiration rate was determined by measurement of the O2-concentration over a period of max. 5 minutes. The following vessels were measured likewise in 5 minute intervals.

- Activated sludge from a biologic sewage treatment plant was used. The chosen plant treats mostly domestic sewage. The sludge was taken from the activation basin of the ESN (Stadtentsorgung Neustadt) sewage treatment plant in D-67435 NW-Lachen-Speyerdorf. Upon arrival in the test facility, the sludge was filtrated, washed with tap water 3 times and re-suspended in tap water. The activated sludge was aerated until usage in the test and fed daily with 50 mL synthetic sewage feed /L.
First experiment: the dry matter was determined as 2.76 g suspended solids/L, giving a concentration of 1.38 g suspended solids/L in the test.
Second experiment: the dry matter of the inoculum was determined as 2.98 g suspended solids/L, giving a concentration of 1.49 g suspended solids/L in the test. - Test type:

- Basis for effect:

- Details on results:
- - In the first experiment (a range finder pre-test), the test substance was tested using 4 nominal concentrations ranging from 1000 to 1 mg/L. At the beginning of oxygen measurement, the oxygen concentration in the test solutions was much lower than in the positive control and the control solutions. The low oxygen concentration in the test solution was very likely caused by the poor solubility of the test substance. Indeed, a thin layer of test substance was observed on the surface of the test solutions, resulting in some bias of the gas exchange between liquid phase and atmosphere. Therefore, the duration for oxygen measurement in the test solutions was strongly reduced (to less than 5 min). (Because linearity of all regression curves was given, this could be stated as uncritical). As a result, the inhibition values in the test solutions were in a similar range for all concentrations and strongly scattered. At the highest concentrated treatment of 1000 mg/L, significant inhibition was observed. This inhibition at 1000 mg/L did however not rise above 23.2 % and therefore the EC50 could be stated as > 1000 mg/L. Because of the scattering inhibition values no graphic determination of the EC10 was possible.
- In order to determine a NOEC value, a second experiment (main test) was performed under the same conditions. In this experiment, 5 concentrations of the test substance ranging from 320 to 3.2 mg/L were used. No inhibition was observed and oxygen concentration in the test solution was in the same range as in the control. The following results for the test substance were determined: a 3h NOEC of 320 mg/L and a 3h EC50 of >1000 mg/L
- All validity criteria were met. For the estimation of the EC50 of the positive control, the fits showed good statistical correspondence of the data with the dose-response-equation. The positive control gave an EC50 of 9.2 mg/L (first experiment) and 14 mg/L (second experiment) which lie within the range of 2 – 25 mg/L. The coefficient of variation of oxygen uptake rate in control replicates was below 30% at the end of the test. The oxygen uptake rate of the blank controls was above 20 mg O2 per gram activated sludge in 1 hour. No observations were made which might cause doubts concerning the validity of the study outcome. The result of the test can be considered valid. - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- 3,5-dichlorophenol was used as positive control. Four concentrations were tested.
First experiment: an EC50 of 9.2 mg/L (95% confidence interval: 4.7 – 13 mg/L) was determined, which lies within the range of 2 – 25 mg/L (OECD guideline).
Second experiment: an EC50 of 14 mg/L (95% confidence interval: 7.9 – 24 mg/L) was determined. The value lies within the range of 2 – 25 mg/L (OECD guideline). - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- Under the study conditions, the 3 h NOEC and EC50 values for respiration inhibition of activated sludge due to the test substance were determined to be at 320 and >1000 mg/L (nominal) respectively.
- Executive summary:
A study was conducted to determine the toxicity of the test substance to microorganisms according to OECD Guideline 209 and EU Method C.11 (respiration inhibition test), in compliance with GLP. Activated sludge was exposed to the test substance at nominal concentrations of 0, 10, 32, 100, 320, and 1000 mg/L for 3 h. In addition, two controls and four different concentrations of the reference substance 3,5-dichlorophenol were tested. The respiration rate (oxygen consumption) of the aerobic activated sludge fed with a standard amount of synthetic wastewater was measured. The inhibitory effect of the test substance at the particular concentrations was expressed as a percentage of the mean respiration rate of the controls. Two experiments were performed. In the first experiment (a range finder pre-test), the test substance was tested using 4 nominal concentrations ranging from 1000 to 1 mg/L. At the beginning of oxygen measurement, the oxygen concentration in the test solutions was much lower than in the positive control and the control solutions.
