- Executive summary:
A Respiration Inhibition Test with activated sludge according to OECD Guideline No. 209 was carried out with the test item Sepisolfast yellow MG-F (batch number:407940) from 2017-04-18 to 2017-04-19, with the definitive exposure phase on 2017-04-19 at the test facility.
The test system was activated sludge of the municipal treatment plant of 31137 Hildesheim, Germany. The test was carried out under static conditions with the test item concentrations 4 - 16 - 64 - 256 - 1000 mg/L.
The respiration rates of the control, reference and test item replicates were measured after a contact time of three hours, and the inhibitory effects of the test and reference item were determined in comparison to the control respiration rates. The mean inhibition of respiration for the test item replicates ranged from -2 % to 57 %.
In order to check the activity of the test system and the test conditions a reference test was carried out with copper (II) sulphate pentahydrate as reference item and the reference toxicity was determined. The EC50-value for the reference item was 109 mg/L.

Description of key information
Activated sludge, Respiration Inhibition test: EC50 (3h): 115 mg/L corrected to 75 mg/L (water solubility) (OECD TG 209; static).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- EC50 for microorganisms:
- 75 mg/L
- EC10 or NOEC for microorganisms:
- 16 mg/L
Additional information
The EC50 (3 hours) was 3 mg/L with 95% confidence limits of 103 -127 mg/L. The inhibition range from 2% to 57%. However, as the substance has a water solubility 75 mg/L, the EC50 for the test substance has been considered to be 75 mg/L.
Other data (non corrected):
The EC10 (3 hours) was 50.2 mg/L (measured concentrationx) with 95% confidence limites of 46 -53.8 mg/L.
The NOEC (3 hours) was 16 mg/L.
