STABILITY AND STORAGE CONDITIONS OF TEST MATERIAL
- Storage condition of test material: room temperature in the dark
FORM AS APPLIED IN THE TEST (if different from that of starting material): clear colorless liquid - Analytical monitoring:
- yes
- Details on sampling:
- Observations and measurements were conducted at 0 hours, 30 minutes, and 3 hours.
- Details on test solutions:
- Nominal amounts of test item (5, 50 and 500 mg (in triplicate)) were each separately dispersed in approximately 200 mL of deionized reverse osmosis water and subjected to ultrasonication for approximately 15 minutes followed by magnetic stirring for 24 hours, at temperatures of between 20 °C and 21 °C, in order to maximize the dissolved test item concentration. All test vessels were shielded from the light during mixing. Synthetic sewage (16 mL), activated sewage sludge (250 mL) and water were added to a final volume of 500 mL to give the required concentrations of 10, 100 and 1000 mg/L (3 replicates).
- Test organisms (species):
- activated sludge of a predominantly domestic sewage
- Details on inoculum:
- A mixed population of activated sewage sludge micro-organisms was obtained on 4 December 2015 from the aeration stage of the Severn Trent Water Plc sewage treatment plant at Loughborough, Leicestershire, UK which treats predominantly domestic sewage.
- Test type:
- static
- Water media type:
- freshwater
- Total exposure duration:
- 3 h
- Test temperature:
- The test was conducted in a temperature controlled room maintatined at 20 ºC.
- pH:
- The pH ranged from 7.5-7.7 during the testing of the test item.
- Dissolved oxygen:
- Initial oxygen readings for the test were between 4.1 and 5.6 mg O2/L
- Nominal and measured concentrations:
- Nominal concentrations of 10, 100, and 1000 mg/L of the test item were tested.
- Details on test conditions:
- At time "0" 16 mL of synthetic sewage was diluted to 250 mL with water and 250 mL of inoculum added in a 500 mL conical flask (first control). The mixture was aerated with clean, oil-free compressed air via narrow bore glass tubes at a rate of 0.5 to 1.0 liter per minute. Thereafter, at 15 minute intervals the procedure was repeated for the second control followed by the reference item vessels with appropriate amounts of the reference item being added

- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The effect of the test item on the respiration of activated sewage sludge micro-organisms gave a 3-Hour EC50 value of greater than 1000 mg/L. The No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC) after 3 hours exposure was 1000 mg/L.
- Executive summary:
The effect of the test item on the respiration of activated sewage sludge micro-organisms was assessed following themethods outlined n the OECD 209 guideline. A positive control was carried out using 3-5,dichlorophenol as a reference item. Following the testing a 3-Hour EC50 value of greater than 1000 mg/L and a No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC) after 3 hours exposure was 1000 mg/L was determined for the test item. The reference item was determined to have an EC50 of 12mg/L. All validation criteria for the testing were fufilled.
