Test organisms
- Test organisms (species):
- activated sludge of a predominantly domestic sewage
- Details on inoculum:
- - Preparation of inoculum for exposure: A sample of activated sludge was collected on the day before the test. The container for transportation was only maximally 2/3 filled in order to maintain the contact with air. At arrival in the laboratory (less than 1 hour after sample collection), the supernatantover the sludge was decanted, the sludge was diluted with tap water and aerated by means of compressed air. 50 mL of synthetic sewage concentrate were added per litre each day. On the day of the test the sludge was allowed to sediment and the supernatant was decanted.
- Initial biomass concentration: On the basis of this calculation the concentration of suspended solids was adjusted to 4 g/L
with tap water. 200 mL of this adjusted inoculum are added per test vessel, resulting in 1.6 g dry weight per litre in the samples.

The study was performed to estimate possible effects of "3-HYDROXY-2-(HYDROXYMETHYL)-2-METHYLPROPIONALDEHYDE" on aerobic microbial sewage treatment plants. The test was performed according to the OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals 209 "Activated Sludge, Respiration Inhibition Test" and the EU-COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 440/2008, using activated sludge from a sewage treatment plant treating predominantly domestic sewage.
Five concentrations of the test substance (7.7, 19.3, 48.2, 120.5 and 301.2 mg/L) were
tested versus two negative controls (tap water).
As positive control substance 3,5-dichlorophenol was used and tested in three
concentrations (5.0, 12.1 and 29.8 mg/L).
The microbial inoculum was a preparation of activated sludge collected on the day before the
test. 50 mL of synthetic sewage concentrate were added per litre and the sludge was kept
areated. On the day of the experiment, the concentration of the microbial inoculum was
adjusted to 4 g of dry weight per litre which results in a final concentration of 1.6 g dry weight
per litre in the samples.
After mixing the inoculum with synthetic sewage solution and appropriate dilutions of control
or test substance solutions the samples were aerated for a contact time of 3 hours at 19 °C.
Negative controls were run before the first and after the last test substance sample. After
incubation the respiration rates were determined in closed bottles using an oxygen sensitive
electrode. The inhibition of respiration was calculated from the respiration rates using the
mean value of the negative controls as 100 %.
EC10: greater than 300 mg/L
EC20: greater than 300 mg/L
EC50: greater than 300 mg/L
EC80: greater than 300 mg/L
