- activated sludge of a predominantly domestic sewage
- Details on inoculum:
- - Name and location of sewage treatment plant where inoculum was collected: Activated sludge from the municipal waste water treatment plant of Pforzheim (Germany), collected from the aeration tank, was used as the microbial inoculum for the test. This plant is predominantly treating domestic sewage. Activated sludge is kept under aerobic conditions in the period between sampling and inoculation.

OTHER TEST CONDITIONS
- Adjustment of pH: not reported
- Photoperiod: not reported
- Light intensity: not reported
- Details on termination of incubation: At the end of the three hour incubation period, aliquots of each test media preparation were transferred to the appropriate sample tube. The DO (dissolved oxygen) electrode to measure DO was sealed at the neck of the tube, ensuring air is completely excluded. The sample tube was stirred at a constant rate during DO measurements. DO was measured over a period of up to 10 minutes. DO content was measured using electronic oxygen probes.
EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED (with observation intervals if applicable) : Oxygen consumption was measured over a period of up to 10 minutes after termination of incubation. Respiration rates (mg O2/L/h) were determined.

- Details on results:
- - Any observations (e.g. precipitation) that might cause a difference between measured and nominal values:
No precipitation of the test substance was observable in any of the test vessels. The test substance was optically determined to be homogeneously dispersed in each test vessel.

- - Results with reference substance valid? yes
- Relevant effect levels:
EC50 = 5.2 mg/L for total respiration (95% CI: 3.3 – 7.6)
EC50 = 13.2 mg/L for heterotrophic respiration (95% CI: 9.3 – 18.9)
EC50 ~ < 2 mg/L for nitrification respiration (95% CI: >0.1<2). Due to the high values obtained, the EC50 for nitrification respiration of 3,5-Dichlorophenol could not statistically be calculated, but was determined to not be lower than 0.1 mg/L. - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- Calculation of Percentage of Inhibition:
The EC50 was estimated using an appropriate statistical method (e.g. Probit analysis) and, where appropriate, 95% confidence values given.
The EC50 of the reference inhibitor was estimated from a log-linear plot of concentration versus effect for both the range finding test and, where appropriate, the definitive test. - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes

- For further details please refer to “Any other information on results incl. tables”.
- Conclusions:
- The test item showed no inhibition to microorganisms up to the highest tested concentration (1000 mg/L).

Description of key information
EC50 (3h) > 1000 mg/L (respiration inhibition, OECD 209)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
In a key respiration inhibition study conducted according to OECD 209, the substance showed no inhibition to microorganisms up to the highest tested concentration (1000 mg/L).
Supporting information from the ready biodegradability study conducted according to the OECD guideline 301B (CO2 evolution), showed a biodegradation of 34 % within 14 days in the toxicity control. Thus, according to the test guidelines, the test item had no inhibitory effect on activated sludge microorganisms at the tested concentration (biodegradation > 25 %).
