- Details on test solutions:
- In the range-finding test, activated sewage sludge micro-organisms were exposed to a series of nominal test concentrations of 10, 100 and 1000 mg/L (three replicates for the test concentration of 1000 mg/L). The test item was dispersed directly in water.
An initial test was conducted however 3 replicate readings at the 1000 mg/L could not be achieved therefore the test was repeated and the results of the initial test not reported. Nominal amounts of test item (5, 50 and 500 mg (500 mg in triplicate)) were each separately dispersed in approximately 200 mL of deionized reverse osmosis water and sealed with parafilm prior to being subjected to ultrasonication for approximately 15 minutes followed by magnetic stirring for 24 hours, at room temperature, 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 (three replicates at 1000 mg/L).
The pH of the test item dispersions was measured after stirring using Hach HQ30d Flexi handheld meter and adjusted to between pH 7.0 and 8.0.
As it was not a requirement of the Test Guidelines, no analysis was conducted to determine the homogeneity, concentration or stability of the test item formulation. This is an exception with regard to GLP and has been reflected in the GLP compliance statement.
The control group was maintained under identical conditions but not exposed to the test item. - Test organisms (species):
- activated sludge of a predominantly domestic sewage
- Details on inoculum:
- Inoculum
A mixed population of activated sewage sludge micro-organisms was obtained on 26 October 2020 from the aeration stage of the Severn Trent Water Plc sewage treatment plant at Belper, Derbyshire, UK which treats predominantly domestic sewage
Preparation
The activated sewage sludge sample was maintained on continuous aeration in the laboratory at a temperature of approximately 21 ºC overnight prior to use in the test. On the day of collection, determination of the suspended solids level of the activated sewage sludge was carried out. A sample (100 mL) of the activated sewage sludge was filtered by suction through a pre-weighed GF/A filter paper (rinsed 3 times with 20 mL deionized reverse osmosis water prior to drying in an oven) using a Buchner funnel which was then rinsed three times with 10 mL of deionized reverse osmosis water and filtration continued for 3 minutes. The filter paper was then dried in an oven at approximately 105 ºC for at least 1 hour and allowed to cool before weighing. This process was repeated until a constant weight was attained. The suspended solids concentration was equal to 2.3 g/L and was adjusted to 3.0 g/L prior to the activated sewage sludge (7 L) being fed an aliquot of synthetic sewage (350 mL).
The pH of the sample on the day of the test was 7.4 measured using a Hach HQ30d Flexi handheld meter. The suspended solids level of the activated sewage sludge was checked prior to use to ensure the suspended solids concentration was equal to 3.0 g/L.
Dilution water:
The test water used for the test was deionized reverse osmosis water containing less than 1 mg/L Total Organic Carbon (TOC).
SYNTHETIC SEWAGE
A synthetic sewage of the following composition, was added to each test vessel to act as a respiratory substrate:
16 g Peptone
11 g Meat extract
3 g Urea
0.7 g NaCl
0.4 g CaCl2.2H2O
0.2 g MgSO4.7H2O
2.8 g K2HPO4
Each constituent was dissolved in a final volume of 1 L of water with the aid of ultrasonication. The pH of the synthetic sewage stock used to feed the activated sewage sludge and used in the range-finding test was between pH 7.2 and 7.3. The pH values were measured using a Hach HQ30d Flexi handheld meter. - Test type:

- 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 at a rate of 0.5 to 1.0 L 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, prior to the test item vessels being prepared. Finally, two further control vessels were prepared.
The test was conducted under normal laboratory lighting in a temperature controlled room at a measured temperature of 20 °C. - Reference substance (positive control):

- Range finding test
The dissolved oxygen concentrations after 30 minutes contact time in all vessels were above 60% of the dissolved oxygen saturation level of 8.9 mg O2/L.
No statistically significant toxic effects were shown at any of the test concentrations employed. It was therefore considered justifiable not to perform a definitive test.
It was considered unnecessary and unrealistic to test at concentrations in excess of 1000 mg/L.
Validation Criteria
• The EC50 value (3-Hour contact time) for the reference item, 3,5-dichlorophenol, was 6.3 mg/L.
• The specific respiration rate of the controls was 27.67 mg oxygen per gram dry weight of sludge per hour.
• The coefficient of variation of oxygen uptake in the control vessels was 2.41%. All validation criteria for the study were therefore satisfied.
Inhibition of respiration rate
No statistically significant toxic effects were shown at the test concentrations of 10, 100 and 1000 mg/L. Based on these results the NOEC after 3 hours exposure was 1000 mg/L.
In some instances, the initial and final dissolved oxygen concentrations were outside those recommended in the test guidelines (7 mg O2/L and 2 mg O2/L respectively). This was considered to have had no adverse effect on the results of the study given that in all cases the oxygen consumption rate was determined over the linear portion of the oxygen consumption trace. - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- 3,5-dichlorophenol EC50 (3 h): 6.3 mg/I 95% confidence limits 2.3 - 17 mg/l
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The EC50 (respiration inhibition) values of the substance FRET 18-0091 is on activated sewage sludge was >1000 mg/l for the 3-hour contact time.
- Executive summary:
A study according to OECD 209 was performed to assess the inhibitory effect of Substance FRET 18-0091 on the respiration of activated sewage sludge. Cultures of activated sewage sludge were incubated with synthetic sewage under vigorous aeration and in the presence of the test substance. Aeration was interrupted after 30 minutes and again after 3 hours and the rates of respiration measured electrochemically for each culture. The percentage inhibition of respiration was calculated for each culture after each contact period by comparing oxygen depletion rates for the test substance with those for the negative control culture. A positive control i.e. 3,5-dichlorophenol was tested concurrently with the test substance in order to demonstrate the satisfactory performance of the procedure. The EC50 (respiration inhibition) values for the substance was >1000 mg/l for the 3-hour contact time. The NOEC is considered to be 1000 mg/l.
