Details on results:
One experiment was performed.
The test item was tested using 4 concentrations ranging from 1000 to 1 mg/L nominal concentration. For the treatment 1000 mg/L, 5 replicates were used; for the other treatments, 1 replicate each.
Because no significant inhibition was observed, no additional experiment had to be per-formed.
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 7.4 mg/L (95 % confidence interval not determinable) which lies within the recommended 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.
