- Specific details on test material used for the study:
- Purity: 99.9 %
- Analytical monitoring:
- no
- Vehicle:
- no
- Details on test solutions:
- The test substance was insufficiently soluble to permit addition via aqueous solution. Individually weighed quantities of test substance were added directly to the appropriate test vessels.
- Test organisms (species):
- activated sludge of a predominantly domestic sewage
- Details on inoculum:
- Activated sludge, micro organisms from a domestic waste water treatment plant was supplied by the sewage plant Darmstadt, Germany.
Preparation and Maintenance
The activated sludge was washed by centrifugation and the supernatant liquid phase was decanted. The solid material was re-suspended in tap water and again centrifuged. The latter procedure was repeated twice. The washed sludge was re-suspended in tap water and sewage feed ( 50 mL per L) was added. The sludge was kept at room temperature under continuous aeration until use for one day.
Immediately before use, the dry weight of the activated sludge was detennined, and diluted to 3.5 g/L with tap water. Tue pH of the activated sludge was 7.9 and therefore no adjustment
was necessary. - Test type:

- inhibition of total respiration
- Results with reference substance (positive control):
- 3,5-DCP:
Total Respiration: 8.2 mg/L - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- Based on the measured inhibition of respiration rates, neither EC20 nor EC50 could be calculated. Since the inhibition of respiration rates was clearly below 20% up
to and including the concentration of 1000 mg/L, the EC20 and EC50 can be assumed to be higher than 1000 mg/L. A NOEC can be established at 1000 mg/L since the respiration inhibition was clearly lower than 20% at this concentration. - Executive summary:
Purpose
The influence of the test item on the activity of activated sludge was evaluated by measuring the respiration rate under defined conditions. The respiration rate ( oxygen consumption) of an aerobic activated sludge fed with a standard amount of synthetic sewage was measured in the presence of various concentrations of the test item after an incubation period of 3 hours.
Study Design
The information for this endpoint study record was obtained from an experimental study. The OECD GLP criteria were met and the methods applied are fully compliant with OECD TG 209.
Test concentrations of 10, 32, 100, 320 and 1000 mg /L have been applied. 3,5 -Dichlorophenol served as positive control substance at concetrations of 3.2, 10 and 32 mg/L. Two inoculum controls have been used.
Results
Toxicity of the test item
The test item is sparingly soluble in water. Therefore, the test item was directly weight into the test vessels and stirred for about 24 hours before using in the experiment. The maximum inhibition of respiration activity was fond to be about 11 %, the inhibition rates were in a range of 5% to 11 %. Concentrations exceeding 1000 mg/L nominal were not tested.
3-hour effect concentrations of the test item
Based on the measured inhibition of respiration rates, neither EC20 nor EC50 could be calculated. Since the inhibition of respiration rates was clearly below 20% up
to and including the concentration of 1000 mg/L, the EC20 and EC50 can be assumed to be higher than 1000 mg/L. A NOEC can be established at 1000 mg/L since the respiration inhibition was clearly lower than 20% at this concentration.
Toxicity of 3,5-Dichlorophenol
The 3-hour EC50 for the positive control 3,5-Dichlorophenol, which was tested in the same way as the test item, was found to be 8.2 mg/L and is within the range of 5 - 30 mg/L recommended by the test guidelines; thus, confirming suitability of the activated sludge.
