- Details on results:
- The EC50 of the test substance for activated sludge was 11 mg a.i./L with 95% confidence limits of 3 and 27 mg a.i./L. The EC10, EC20 and EC80 were 4, 5 and 24 mg a.i./L, respectively.
- Results with reference substance (positive control):
- The EC50 of the reference compound 3,5-dichlorophenol (5.2 mg/L) was within the prescribed range of 5 to 30 mg/L.
- Reported statistics and error estimates:
- The EC values were computed from the best fitted line (least square method) through the points given by the probit of the percentage inhibition and the logarithm of the concentration of the test substance. The EC10, 25, 50 values were computed from the best fitted line (least-squares method) through the points given by the probit of the percentage inhibition and the logarithm of the concentration of the test substance. Confidence limits were computed on the basis of Fieller's theorem. All computations were performed using the TOXCALC version 5.0 program.
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- Under the study conditions, the 30 mins EC50 of the test substance for activated sludge was 11 mg a.i./L (with 95% confidence limits of 3 and 27 mg a.i./L). The EC10, EC20 and EC80 were 4, 5 and 24 mg a.i./L, respectively. The test substance was therefore considered harmful to activated sludge.
- Executive summary:
A study was conducted to determine the toxicity to microorganisms of the read across substance, C12-16 ADBAC (active: 49.9%), according to OECD Guideline 209, in compliance with GLP. The respiration inhibition test was performed on activated sludge fed with a standard amount of synthetic sewage. The respiration rate of the same activated sludge in the presence of various concentrations of the test substance under identical conditions was also measured. The inhibitory effect of the test substance at a particular concentration was expressed as a percentage of the mean respiration rates of the controls. The validity of the test was shown by two criteria. First, the control respiration rates were within 15% of each other and secondly, the EC50 of the reference compound 3, 5-dichlorophenol (5.2 mg/L) was within the prescribed range of 5 to 30 mg/L. No analytical dose determination was performed. Under the study conditions, the 30 mins EC50 of the test substance for activated sludge was 11 mg a.i./L (with 95% confidence limits of 3 and 27 mg a.i./L). The 30 mins EC10, EC20 and EC80 were 4, 5 and 24 mg a.i./L, respectively (Geerts, 2004). Based on the results of the read across study, similar the 30 mins EC50 value can also be considered for the test substance, C18 ADBAC, for toxicity to microorganisms.
