3,5-Dichlorophenol (p.a. quality 99.7% Aldrich Lot no MKBP6894V) used as a reference substance in the activated sludge respiration inhibition test was purchased from Sigma Aldrich. All other chemicals used were of reagent grade quality.
De-ionised water
The de-ionised water used in the study contained less than 10 μg/L of copper (ISO 17025 certified analysis), a conductivity of less than 5 μS/cm and less than 2.0 mg/L NPOC. - Test organisms (species):
- activated sludge of a predominantly domestic sewage
- Details on inoculum:
- Activated sludge
Unadapted secondary activated sludge was obtained (21-10-2014) from the WWTP Nieuwgraaf in Duiven. The WWTP Duiven is an activated sludge plant treating predominantly domestic wastewater.Prior to use the activated sludge was homogenized with a syringe. The suspended solids (dry weight)
content of the homogenized activated sludge was determined and subsequently concentrated by settlement to the required dry weight concentration.
The activated sludge was aerated and fed overnight with OECD synthetic sewage concentrate at 50 mL/L prior to use on the day following collection. The suspended solids concentration of the activated sludge in the incubation vessels was 1.5 g dry weight/L. - Test type:
- static
- Water media type:
- freshwater
- Limit test:
- no
- Total exposure duration:
- 3 h
- Test temperature:
- 20.1 to 20.7°C.
- pH:
- 7.0 to 7.2
- Nominal and measured concentrations:
- Nominal: 1.25, 2.5, 5, 10, 20 and 40 mg/L and 70.0, 144.0, 284.0, 562.0, and 1126.0 mg/L
- Details on test conditions:
- Test conditions
The test was performed in 300 mL Erlenmeyer flasks with total working volumes of 50 mL, respectively. The homogenized activated sludge was incubated in a shaking water bath (100 rpm, 20°C) for 3 hours with various concentrations of the test compound and synthetic sewage.
Synthetic sewage feed and stocks
The synthetic sewage feed was made by dissolving the following amounts of substances in 1 liter of deionized water: 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. In the incubation vessels 1.6 mL of the synthetic sewage feed is added in a total volume of 50 mL. Reaction mass of 3,6,9-triethyl-3,6,9-trimethyl-1,2,4,5,7,8-hexoxonane and 3,6-diethyl-3,6,9-trimethyl-9-n-propyl-1,2,4,5,7,8-hexoxonane and 3-ethyl-3,6,9-trimethyl-6,9-di-npropyl-1,2,4,5,7,8-hexoxonane and 3,6,9-trimethyl-3,6,9-tri-n-propyl-1,2,4,5,7,8-hexoxonane was weighed directly in the incubation vessels. 3,5-Dichlorophenol was added to the incubation vessels using a stock solution of 1.0 g/L. The stock solution of 3,5-dichlorophenol was prepared by dissolving 0.1003 g of 3,5-dichlorophenol in approximately 40 mL of deionized water with the addition of a few drops of 1 M NaOH. Finally the pH was corrected with 1M H2SO4 to approximately pH 7 and the solution was diluted further to 100 mL with deionized water
Test procedures
The activated sludge respiration inhibition test was performed according to the study plan. The study plan was developed from an OECD Test Guideline (OECD 209, 2010). In this test the inhibition of oxygen uptake by micro-organisms oxidizing organic carbon was not separately expressed from the
respiration by micro-organisms oxidizing ammonium. The total respiration rate of activated sludge fed with a standard amount of synthetic sewage was measured. The respiration rate of the same activated sludge in the presence of various concentrations of the test substance under otherwise identical conditions was also measured. The inhibitory effect of the test substance at a particular concentration was expressed as a percentage of the mean respiration rates of the controls. Some aspects of the test are listed below:
• Prior to use the activated sludge was homogenized with a syringe.
• The activated sludge with test substances was incubated in a shaking bath (100 rpm) for 3 hours.
• The test substance and the reference compound (3,5-dichlorophenol) concentrations were spaced by a factor two. The tested nominal concentrations of the reference substance were 1.25, 2.5, 5, 10, 20 and 40 mg/L and 70.0, 144.0, 284.0, 562.0, and 1126.0 mg/L for the test substance. An abiotic control was not performed because neither reduction of oxygen by the test substance nor formation of oxygen due to chemical breakdown of the test substance is expected.
• The test substance was pipetted into the incubation vessels and the added weight was directly measured on an analytical balance.
Since the test substance was weighed directly into the incubation vessel and was considered unlikely to be air-stripped during incubation, no specific analyses were performed. - Reference substance (positive control):

- Executive summary:
In order to predict effects of chemicals in the environment and in biological waste water treatment plants, an activated sludge respiration inhibition test was performed.
