EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED (with observation intervals if applicable) :
After 3 h incubation, the oxygen concentration of each control, reference item and test item replicate was determined by means of oximeter every 5 seconds after transferring the solution to the measuring chamber and the oxygen depletion was recorded for at least 5 minutes with the software PreSens Measurement Studio 2.
TEST CONCENTRATIONS
A preliminary test (non GLP) was carried out with the concentrations of the test item Tallow Bis(2-hydroxyethyl) amineoxide CAS no. 61791-46-6 of 10 – 100 - 1000 mg/L with two replicates each. The pH was measured in one replicate with 1000 mg/L test item. The flasks were aerated for 3 hours.
In the preliminary test, additional replicates were prepared to determine the inhibition of nitrification. Two replicates 1000 mg/L were measured with addition of Allylthiourea ATU.
No significant difference in inhibition with or without ATU was observed in the preliminary test with 507 mg (a.i.) Tallow Bis(2-hydroxyethyl) amineoxide CAS no. 61791-46-6. This means that the inhibition of both nitrification and heterotrophic respiration show comparable values. Therefore, nitrification inhibition was not evaluated separately in the definitive study.

Based on these results the definitive study was carried out with 5 concentrations within the range 1 - 1000 mg a.i./L test item in a geometrical series and with a dilution factor of 5.6. No pH adjustment was made.
All concentrations were weighed out of object slides and were transferred to laboratory bottles and stirred overnight.
Triplicates of the control without test item were included at the beginning and at the end of the test.
The reference item was tested with three concentrations within the concentration range 58 - 180 mg/L and a dilution factor of 1.8.
A fresh sample of activated sludge taken from the sewage plant Hildesheim was used for the test procedure. It was washed twice and adjusted with chlorine free tap water if necessary to a dry sludge concentration of 3.0 g/L ± 10 %.
The oxygen uptake rates of all samples were determined following an incubation period of 3 h. - Reference substance (positive control):

- Reported statistics and error estimates:
- The NOEC was determined by calculation of statistical significance of the inhibition of respiration in comparison to the control. One Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used for NOEC calculation. When running a One Way Analysis of Variance a Normality test and an Equal Variance test were done first. P-value for both tests was 0.05. The -value (acceptable probability of incorrectly concluding that there is a difference) is =0.05.
The EC-value of the test item and reference item was calculated by sigmoidal response and linear regression using software GraphPad Prism. Calculation of the confidence intervals for the EC50-value was carried out using standard procedures. The coefficient of variation of the oxygen uptake rates of the control replicates was calculated with standard methods using Excel. - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The NOEC of Tallow Bis(2-hydroxyethyl) amineoxide CAS no. 61791-46-6 is 32 mg a.i./L.
The EC10 is 34.3 mg a.i./L and the EC50 is 195 mg a.i./L. - Executive summary:
A Respiration Inhibition Test with activated sludge according to OECD Guideline No. 209 was carried out with the test item Tallow Bis(2-hydroxyethyl) amineoxide CAS no. 61791-46-6 (batch number: 1548134) from 2017-08-03 to 2017-08-04, with the definitive exposure phase on 2017-08-04 at the test facility. The test system was activated sludge of the municipal treatment plant of 31137 Hildesheim, Germany. The test was carried out under static conditions with the test item concentrations 1 - 5.6 - 32 - 180 - 1000 mg a.i./L. The respiration rates of the control, reference and test item replicates were measured after a contact time of three hours, and the inhibitory effects of the test and reference item were determined in comparison to the control respiration rates. The mean inhibition of respiration for the test item replicates ranged from -9 % to 57 %. In the preliminary test, no significant difference in inhibition with or without ATU was observed with 507 mg (a.i.) Tallow Bis(2-hydroxyethyl) amineoxide CAS no. 61791-46-6. This means that the inhibition of both nitrification and heterotrophic respiration show comparable values. Therefore, nitrification inhibition was not evaluated separately in the definitive study.
In order to check the activity of the test system and the test conditions a reference test was carried out with copper (II) sulphate pentahydrate as reference item and the reference toxicity was determined. The EC50-value for the reference item was 111 mg/L.

Reference
From the oxygen depletion the oxygen uptake rates were calculated in mg O2/L×h, additionally the specific respiration rates based on the dry sludge concentration were calculated in mg O2/g×h. The inhibition of the oxygen uptake rates of the test and reference item concentrations in % was calculated in comparison to the oxygen uptake rates of the control.

Additional information
A Respiration Inhibition Test with activated sludge according to OECD Guideline No. 209 was carried out with C16-18 (evennumbered, C18 unsaturated) alkyl bis(2-hydroxyethyl) amine oxide CAS no. 61791-46-6. The test system was activated sludge of the municipal treatment plant of 31137 Hildesheim, Germany. The test was carried out under static conditions with the test item concentrations 1 - 5.6 - 32 - 180 - 1000 mg a.i./L. The respiration rates of the control, reference and test item replicates were measured after a contact time of three hours, and the inhibitory effects of the test and reference item were determined in comparison to the control respiration rates. The mean inhibition of respiration for the test item replicates ranged from -9 % to 57 %. In the preliminary test, no significant difference in inhibition with or without ATU was observed with 507 mg (a.i.) C16-18 (evennumbered, C18 unsaturated) alkyl bis(2-hydroxyethyl) amine oxide. This means that the inhibition of both nitrification and heterotrophic respiration show comparable values. Therefore, nitrification inhibition was not evaluated separately in the definitive study. The 3h EC10 and EC50 observed are 34.3 and 195 mg a.i./L respectively.
In order to check the activity of the test system and the test conditions a reference test was carried out with copper (II) sulphate pentahydrate as reference item and the reference toxicity was determined. The EC50-value for the reference item was 111 mg/L.
