Test organisms

Test organisms (species):
activated sludge of a predominantly domestic sewage

Study design

Test type:
static
Water media type:
freshwater
Total exposure duration:
3 h

Test conditions

Details on test conditions:
Incubation time: 3 hours
Test temperature: 18.9 – 20.8 °C
Test vessels: Glas-beakers (nominal volume 1 L)
Test volume: 500 mL
Synthetic medium: 16 mL/test vessel of 100-fold concentrated OECD
medium
Oxygen concentration during aeration: > 2 mg/L
Oxygen concentration immediately
before measurement:
> 7 mg/L
Duration of the measurement of
oxygen consumption:
About 8 - 10 min
Sludge concentration in the test vessel: 1.5 g/L Dw

Test system: municipal Activated sludge
Reason for the selection of the test system: required by the test guidelines
Age: 1 day
Origin: aeration tank of the wastewater treatment plant of Mannheim, Germany
Collection of the test system: 25 Jan 2017
Arrival in the test facility: 25 Jan 2017
After arrival of the activated sludge suspension in the test facility the suspension was sieved
with a fine woven mesh (mesh size about 1 mm). This suspension was pre-aerated over
night at room temperature. At the next day the sludge suspension was washed once with
drinking water and the suspension was adjusted to 3 g/L Dw.
3.3. TEST GROUPS AND CONCENTRATIONS
Test concentrations: 1000, 500, 250, 125, 62.5 mg/L as nominal concentration
based on test substance without correction of purity and blank
controls.
100, 10, 1 mg/L as nominal concentration based on reference
substance.
Test replicates: 6 replicates for the control,
3 replicates for each test substance concentration,
2 replicates for each reference substance concentration.
Reason for selection of
test concentrations:
According to the test guidelines, at least 5 concentrations in a
geometric series with a separation factor of ≤ 3.2 should be
used, preferably encompassing the range from 10 – 80%
inhibition .
