- Details on test solutions:
- Sodium capryliminodipropionate and 3,5-dichlorophenol was added to the incubation vessels using a stock solution of approximately 1.0 g/L. The stock solution of sodium capryliminodipropionate was prepared by dissolving 0.92 g sodium capryliminodipropionate in 920 mL deionized water.

- Details on inoculum:
- Unadapted secondary activated sludge was obtained (24-04-2012) 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 dry weight of the homogenized activated sludge was determined and subsequently concentrated by settlement to the required dry weight concentration. The dry weight of the activated sludge in the incubation vessels was 1.5 g/L.

compound and synthetic sewage.

Synthetic sewage contained per liter: 16 g peptone

3 g urea
0.7 g NaCl
0.3 g CaCl2
0.2 g MgSO4.7H2O
2.8 g K2HPO4

-Controls without test substance (or reference compound) are measured at the beginning and at the end of the test
-The inhibitory effect of the test substance/reference compound is expressed as a percentage of the mean of the two control respiration rates.

- Test conditions
The pH of the reaction mixtures after the incubation period ranged from 7.2 to 7.3. Temperature varied from 19.8 to 20.5°C. These conditions allow respiration of the activated sludge used.
Validity of the test
The validity of the test is demonstrated by three criteria. First, the coefficient of variation of the replicates of the control oxygen uptake rates was 10%, which fulfils the maximum prescribed variation of <30%. Secondly, the prescribed average oxygen uptake rate of > 20 mg O2/g dry weight/hour for the control measurements was achieved (30 mg O2/g dry weight/hour). The third criterion was met as shown by the EC50 of the reference compound of 15 mg/L, which is within the prescribed range of 2 to 25 mg/L.
Activated sludge respiration inhibition test
The inhibitory effect of sodium capryliminodipropionate at a particular concentration is expressed as a percentage of the two controls. From the results EC values were calculated. The EC50 of sodium capryliminodipropionate for activated sludge after 3 hours contact time is >640 mg/L. Inhibition of the activated sludge respiration by sodium capryliminodipropionate does not follow a classical dose-response curve and varied from 11% to 19% over the measured concentration range. - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- The EC50 of the reference compound was 15 mg/L at a contact time of 3 hours, respectively. These EC50 values is within the prescribed range of 2 to 25 mg/L.
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Remarks:
- see "details on results"
- Conclusions:
- The test is valid as shown by the EC50 of the reference compound 3,5- dichlorophenol (15 mg/L), the coefficient of variation of the replicates of the control oxygen uptake rates (10%) and the average oxygen uptake rate for the control replicates (30 mg O2/g dry weight/hour). The toxicity of sodium capryliminodipropionate to activated sludge was determined at a contact time of 3 hours, using various concentrations of the test substance. The inhibitory effect of sodium capryliminodipropionate at a particular concentration is expressed as a percentage of the two controls. From the results EC values were calculated. The EC50 of sodium c pryliminodipropionate for activated sludge after 3 hours contact time is >640 mg/L. Inhibition of the activated sludge respiration by sodium capryliminodipropionate does not follow a classical dose-response curve and varied from 11% to 19% over the measured concentration range (Figure 2). Sodium capryliminodipropionate is therefore considered not harmful to activated sludge.
- 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. The toxicity to activated sludge was determined in accordance with OECD Test Guideline 209, and in compliance with the OECD principles of Good Laboratory Practice. The test is valid as shown by the EC50 of the reference compound 3,5 -dichlorophenol (15 mg/L), the coefficient of variation of the replicates of the control oxygen uptake rates (10%) and the average oxygen uptake rate for the control replicates (29 mg O2/g dry weight/hour).
