- Executive summary:
A study was conducted to assess the toxicity of HPP 12879-1 to bacteria in accordance with OECD Guideline 209 ‘Activated Sludge, Respiration Inhibition Test (Carbon and Ammonium Oxidation)’ (adopted: 22 July 2010) and considered the Question-and-Answer Document by the German Federal Environment Agency (Version 2012-03-02). This test method is in most essential parts equal to Council Regulation (EC) No 440/2008, Method C.11 ”Biodegradation: Activated Sludge Respiration Inhibition Test” (2008).
A range finding test preceded the definitive test. This range finding test provided information about the range of concentrations to be used in the main test.
The activated sludge was exposed to HPP 12879-1 for 3 hours at different concentrations.
In the main test, six controls without the test item were included in the test design, three at the start and the others at the end of the test series. The test was performed with different test item concentrations with 3 replicates. Each batch of activated sludge was checked using 5 concentrations in the range of 2.5 – 40 mg/L of 3,5-Dichlorophenol as a reference compound.
The respiration rate (oxygen consumption) is classified into two processes of oxidation, the oxidation of organic carbon (heterotrophic oxidation) and the ammonium oxidation (nitrification). By measuring the oxygen consumption rates in the presence and absence of a specific inhibitor of nitrification ATU (N-allylthiourea), total, heterotrophic and nitrification respiration rates were calculated.
Since some substances may consume oxygen by chemical reactivity, a physicochemical oxygen consumption control was carried out additionally for both sets. In order to be able to differentiate between physico-chemical oxygen consumption and biological oxygen consumption (respiration), at least the maximum concentration of the test item was tested without activated sludge.
The respiration rate of each mixture was determined after aeration periods of 3 hours.
For HPP 12879-1 the following results were determined [mg/L]
Total respiration: EC 10: 332.4, EC 50: > 1000, NOEC (tα 0.05): 10
Heterotrophic respiration: EC 10: 916.2, EC 50: > 1000, NOEC (tα 0.05): 320
Nitrification respiration: EC 10: 98.1, EC 50: 604.8, NOEC (tα 0.05): 100
The effect value relates to a nominal concentration, since no analytical monitoring was performed.
