- Executive summary:
In a 3 hour toxicity study conducted according to OECD Guideline 209 (2010), the cultures of activated sludge of a predominantly domestic sewage treatment plant were exposed to Di-C12-18 alkyldimethyl ammonium chloride (68.79% a.i.) at nominal concentrations of 0 (control), 10, 32, 100, 320, and 1000 mg a.i./L mg/L under static conditions.
The batch of activated sludge was checked for sensitivity by testing the reference substance Copper (II) sulphate pentahydrate.
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 controI respiration rates. The mean inhibition of respiration for the test item replicates ranged from 1 % to 92 %
The 3 h NOEC of C12-18 alkyldimethyl ammonium chloride is 10 mg a.i./L. The 3 h EC10 is 28.5 mg a.i./L, and the EC50 is 127 mg a.i./L.
Results Synopsis
Test Organism: activated sludge from a sewage treatment plant treating predominantly domestic sewage
Test Type: Static
3 h NOEC: 10 mg/L
3 h EC10: 28.5 mg/L, 95% c.i. 24.9 - 32.3 mg/L
3 h EC50: 127 mg/L, 95% c.i. 120 – 135 mg/L
Endpoint effected: Inhibition of respiration
Reference
The mean specific oxygen uptake rate of the control replicates was 18.9 mg O2/q-h (validity criterion: should be >/= 20 mg O2/g·h). The oxygen uptake of activated sludge from municipal treatment plants is influenced by seasonal fluctuations and fluctuations in sewage flow etc.
The lower oxygen uptake rate reflects the range of common uptake rates of activated sludge from municipal treatment plants and was considered to have no impact on quality and integrity of the study. Despite the lower respiration, the EC50-value of the reference item was in the required range. Therefore, no impact on the results of the test item can be expected through lower respiration.
The coefficient of variation of the oxygen uptake rates in the control replicates was 3.6 % (validity criterion: < 30 %).
The EC50 of the reference item was 108 mg/L and in the range of 53 - 155 mg/L.
