Remarks:
respiration rate
Details on results:
The EC20 in the activated sludge respiration test was > 100 mg/L. Disturbances in the biodegradation process of activated sludge are not to be expected if the test substance is correctly introduced into adapted wastewater treatment plants at low concentrations.
Results with reference substance (positive control):
EC50 (30 min) = 5.5 mg/L
EC90 (30 min) = 41 mg/L
