- Specific details on test material used for the study:
- Physical State/Appearance: White waxy solid
Purity: 100%
Storage Conditions: Room temperature in the dark - Analytical monitoring:
- no
- Details on sampling:
- The inhibitory effect of the test material on carbon transformation was assessed by the determination of the glucose-induced respiration rate in the soil samples on Days 0 and 28 and compared to data obtained from solvent control soil samples.
On Days 0 and 28 three aliquots (50 g*) of soil were removed from the control, solvent control and test material vessels for nitrate analysis. A further three aliquots (50 g*) were removed from the control, solvent control and test material vessels were removed for measurement of the glucose-induced respiration rate on Days 0 and 28.
To determine the glucose induced respiration rate of each replicate soil sample, glucose (50 mg) was ground with quartz sand of particle size 0.1 to 0.5 mm (250 mg) prior to mixing with the soil sample (50 g*) to give final concentrations of 1000 mg glucose/kg soil and 10 g sand/kg soil. The soil sample was then transferred to a 250 mL ground glass stoppered conical flask and placed in a CES Respirometer to measure the glucose induced respiration rate.
The CES Respirometer system consists of a sample flask sealed by a sensor head/CO2 trap immersed in a temperature controlled water bath. As respiration progressed, the micro-organisms converted oxygen to carbon dioxide, which was absorbed into the CO2 trap (ethanolamine solution, 50% v/v), causing a net reduction in gas pressure within the sample flask. The pressure reduction triggers the electrolytic process, generating oxygen and restoring the pressure in the sample flask. The magnitude of the electrolyzing current and the duration of the current is proportional to the amount of oxygen supplied to the micro-organisms. The data collected by the respirometer’s battery-backed memory was then transferred to the hard disk drive of a non-dedicated computer.
After an initial 5-minute stabilization/initialization period, oxygen consumption values were measured for at least 12 hours.
* Dry weight - Vehicle:
- yes
- Remarks:
- Chloroform
- Details on preparation and application of test substrate:
- Preliminary solubility work showed that the test material had limited solubility in water, but that a preliminary solvent stock solution could be prepared in chloroform. Therefore, for the purposes of the test, the test concentrations were prepared from a preliminary solvent stock solution prepared in chloroform. In order to aid dispersal of the test material in the soil, an aliquot of the preliminary solvent stock solution was adsorbed onto dry quartz sand and the solvent allowed to evaporate to dryness prior to dispersal in the test soil.
The test material/sand combinations was then added to final bulk soil along with an aliquot (30.3 mL) of water and thoroughly mixed to give the required test concentrations of 10, 32, 100, 320 and 1000 mg/kg, with a nominal moisture content of 45% of the Water Holding Capacity (WHC). The soil for each test concentration was then mixed again to ensure homogeneity prior to removing three aliquots for the Day 0 analysis. The remaining soil bulk was incubated in separate glass Duran bottles. - Test organisms (inoculum):
- soil
- Total exposure duration:
- 28 d
- Test temperature:
- 18 and 22 deg.C
- Moisture:
- 45% of the Water Holding Capacity (WHC)
- Organic carbon content (% dry weight):
- 0.68
- Details on test conditions:
- The soil samples were incubated in glass Duran bottles. The test vessels were sealed with polyurethane foam stoppers in order to maintain aseptic conditions and minimize moisture loss by evaporation and maintained in a temperature controlled room at temperatures of between 18 and 22 deg.C in darkness.
The test soil was a sandy loam soil obtained from a site in Rugby, Warwickshire, England that had received no pesticides or fertilisers for 5 years prior to sampling.
On arrival at Envigo Research Limited, UK, the soil was stored at temperatures of between 3 and 4 deg.C prior to use. Prior to the start of the test, the soil was removed from refrigeration and stored at temperatures of between 15 and 21 deg.C for 22 days and shielded from light.
The moisture content of the soil was determined prior to the start of the two consecutive dry weights within 4% were attained. The moisture content of the soil, expressed as a percentage of the dry weight, was determined to be 8%. The Water Holding Capacity (WHC) of the soil supplied by LUFA Speyer was 35.4 ± 1.0 g/100 g and hence 30.3 mL of deionized reverse osmosis water per 0.4 kg* of soil was added. This gave a final water content of 15 g/100 g, i.e. 45% of the WHC as recommended by the Testing Guidelines.
