- Nominal / measured:

- 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 performed. 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 8.9 mg/L mg/L (95 % confidence interval 5.6 – 12 mg/L) which lie 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. - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- The positive control gave an EC50 of 8.9 mg/L mg/L (95 % confidence interval 5.6 – 12 mg/L) which lie within the recommended range of 2 – 25 mg/L.
- Reported statistics and error estimates:
- For the treatments with the test item concentration 1000 mg/L, it was tested whether the differences between treatment and blank control were significant. For this determination, the values of the O2 consumption were used.
In order to select a suitable test for significance, it was checked whether equality of variance was given.
The calculated value F is compared with the F-test table (level of significance 95%). As equality of variance is given, the t-test is used. With the t-test, it was checked whether the differences are significant. Significance is given if the calculated t-value is bigger than the limit of significance (t-value taken from the table
with degree of freedom: n1 + n2 – 2, level of significance 95 %). The difference between treatment 1000 mg/L and the blank control can be considered as not significant as the calculated t-value lay below the significance limit and O2 consumption in the treatment was higher than in the blank control. Therefore, the concentration 1000 mg/L is stated as NOEC. - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- During test with sodium hydrogen m-sulphonatobenzoate no significant inhibition was observed.
The following results for the test item sodium 3-sulfobenzoate were determined:
3h NOEC = 1000 mg/L
3h EC50 > 1000 mg/L
3h EC10 > 1000 mg/L. - Executive summary:
The test item was tested using 4 concentrations ranging from 1000 to 1 mg/L nominal concentration. Duration of the test was 3 hours. Activated sludge was used as inoculum. It was taken from a domestic sewage treatment plant and washed before usage. The dry matter was determined as 2.46 g suspended solids/L, giving a concentration of 1.23 g suspended solids/L in the test.
3,5-Dichlorophenol was used as positive control. Four concentrations were tested; an EC50 of 8.9 mg/L (95% confidence interval: 5.6 – 12 mg/L) was determined, which lies within the recommended range of 2 – 25 mg/L stated in the OECD guideline.
Because no significant inhibition was observed, no additional experiment had to be performed. The following results for the test item sodium 3-sulfobenzoate were determined:
3h NOEC = 1000 mg/L
3h EC50 > 1000 mg/L
3h EC10 > 1000 mg/L
