- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
- Method: Because of low solubility, test substance was added to reverse osmosis-purified water at 2.5X final loading rate, with 25.5 - 27 hours' stirring in closed, dark brown 1-L test bottles. For the test, synthetic sewage feed (16 mL) and prepared, activated sludge (250 mL) were added to bring the final volume to 500 mL and the loading rate to 1000 mg/L. Optimal contact between the test substance and test organisms was ensured applying continuous aeration and stirring.
-Control: blanks, 3,5-Dichlorophenol as reference substance
Test organisms
- Test organisms (species):
- activated sludge of a predominantly domestic sewage
- Details on inoculum:
- - Laboratory culture: Sludge was collected from municipal sewage treatment plant: 'Waterschap Aa en Maas', 's-Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands.The sludge was coarsely sieved, washed and diluted with ISO medium. A small amount of the sludge was weighed and dried at ca. 105°C to determine the amount of suspended solids (3.0 g/L of sludge, as used for the test). The sludge was collected one day before use. Before use the pH was checked (measured value: 7.9).
ISO medium (in reverse osmosis [RO]-purified tap water)
211.5 mg/L CaCl2∙2(H2O)
88.7 mg/L MgSO4∙7(H2O)
46.7 mg/L NaHCO3
4.2 mg/L KCl
ISO medium was used only for sludge preparation, not during the test.
- Method of cultivation: Because the sludge was used one day after collection, 50 mL of synthetic sewage feed* was added to each litre of activated sludge at the end of the collection day. The sludge was kept aerated at test temperature until use (*synthetic sewage feed: 16 g peptone, 11 g meat extract, 3 g urea, 0.7 g NaCI, 0.4 g CaCI2·2(H2O), 0.2 g MgSO4·7(H2O), 2.8 g K2HPO4 dissolved in 1 L RO water and filtered, final pH 7.5±0.5).

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Remarks:
- Control respiration rate ≥ 20 mg/(g*h), variability < 30% (20 mg/(g*h), variability 6%). Reference substance 3-h EC50 within 2-25 mg/L (7.6 mg/L).
- Conclusions:
- C4 acrylate is not inhibitory to activated sludge respiration (3-h EC50 >1000 mg/L)
- Executive summary:
The toxicity of C4 acrylate to activated sludge organisms was assessed in an assay performed according to OECD TG209. The test solution was made by stirring C4 acrylate 25.5 - 27 hours in a closed vessel at a loading rate of 2500 mg/L, with subsequent dilution to 1000 mg/L for the test. Undissolved material presumably remained in the test bottles. The exposure period was for three hours with continuous aeration. No statistically significant inhibition was observed upon exposure to C4 acrylate at the maximum loading rate (α = 0.05, df = 7). The 3-hour EC50 to sludge is therefore >1000 mg/L.
The study was conducted in accord with GLP criteria and satisfies the guideline requirements for test method OECD209, activated sludge respiration inhibition test. It is classified as reliable and is suitable for Risk Assessment, Classification & Labelling, and PBT Analysis.
