range of 1 to 1000 mg/L (with and without ATU) in a geometrical
series and with a dilution factor of 5.62.
The test item concentrations were weighed out on bent object slides
and were transferred in the test vessels. All concentrations were stirred overnight in 200 mL ultrapure water at 400 rpm.
The control was tested with and without ATU. Three replicates each
were tested, three at the beginning of the measurements and three
at the end.
The reference item Copper (II)-sulfate pentahydrate was tested with
three concentrations within the concentration range 58 - 180 mg/L
using a dilution factor of approximately 1.8 (without ATU).
The reference item N-Methylaniline was tested with three
concentrations within the concentration range 0.1 – 1.8 – 32 mg/L
using a dilution factor of 18 (with and without ATU).

EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED (with observation intervals if applicable) :
The oxygen concentration in the measurement chamber was measured by the oximeter by optical read-out of the sensor spots at least every 5 seconds. The data was recorded using the software PreSens Measurement Studio 2. For each replicate, the oxygen uptake rate was calculated for a period of at least 3 minutes. A linear section was chosen for this calculation.
TEST CONCENTRATIONS
Inhibitions in the Preliminary Tests
A preliminary range finding test (non GLP) was carried out with the test item concentrations of 10 – 100 – 1000 mg/L with one replicate each. The pH was measured in one replicate with 1000 mg/L test item. The flasks were aerated for 3 hours.
In the preliminary range finding test, additional replicates were prepared to determine the inhibition of nitrification. One replicate each of 10 – 100 - 1000 mg/L was measured with the addition of Allylthiourea (ATU).

- Results with reference substance (positive control):
- - Results with reference substance valid? Yes
- Reported statistics and error estimates:
- The EC-values of the test item and the reference item were calculated by sigmoidal dose-response regression and the EC50-value of the reference item by linear regression using software GraphPadPrism. 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.
The calculation of the oxygen uptake rates (R) and inhibition of respiration rates (I) was performed according to the guideline.
The NOEC for the oxygen uptake rate was determined with the
software ToxRat Professional as specified below.
The NOEC was determined by calculation of statistical significance
of the oxygen uptake rate in comparison to the control using
statistical standard procedure as normality test (Shapiro-Wilk),
variance homogeneity test (Levene’s test) and a multiple test
(Williams Multiple Sequential t-test for Total Respiration and Nitrification and Multiple Sequentially-rejective Median (2x2-Table) Test After Bonferroni-Holm for Heterotrophic Respiration). Prior to running the multiple test, a normality test and a variance homogeneity test were performed.
The P-value for all tests was 0.01. The a-value (acceptable probability of incorrectly concluding that there is a difference) is a=0.05 - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The NOEC of C12 – C14 alkyletherdiamine (CAS No.: 68187-46-2) for Total Respiration is 5.62 mg/L.
The EC10 for Total Respiration is 33.8 mg/L and the EC50 is 77.0 mg/L.
The NOEC for heterotrophic respiration is 31.6 mg/L.
The EC10 for heterotrophic respiration is 116 mg/L and the EC50 is 151 mg/L.
The NOEC for nitrification is 5.62 mg/L.
The EC10 for nitrification is 21.8 mg/L and the EC50 is 48.8 mg/L. - Executive summary:
- A respiration inhibition test with activated sludge according to OECD Guideline No. 209 was carried out withthe test item C12 – C14 alkyletherdiamine (CAS No.: 68187-46-2) (batch number: S20210420) from 2021-08-09 to 2021-08-10 at the test facility. The test system was activated sludge of the municipal treatment plant of 31137 Hildesheim, Germany. Based on the results of the preliminary test, the study was carried out under static conditions with the test item concentrations 1 - 5.62 - 31.6 - 178 - 1000 mg/L with and without N-Allylthiourea. 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 total respiration for the test item replicates ranged from -3 % to 98 %. The mean inhibition of the heterotrophic respiration for the test item replicates ranged from -7 % to 93 %. The mean inhibition of nitrification for the test item replicates ranged from 1 % to 100 %.
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 and N-Methylaniline (with and without ATU) as reference item and the reference toxicity was determined. The EC50-value for the reference item copper (II) sulphate pentahydrate was 105 mg/L, which is in agreement with the criteria. The EC50-value for the reference item N-Methylaniline was 1.73 mg/L.Endpoints of C12 – C14 alkyletherdiamine (CAS No.: 68187-46-2) for Inhibition of Respiration in [mg Test item/L]

Oxygen Uptake Rates, Specific Respiration Rates and Inhibition of the Respiration
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. The results are listed in the tables below.
