Test conditions

pH:
The pH of the activated sludge inoculum was adjusted from 8.8 to 7.2 with a diluted sulfuric acid solution.
Nominal and measured concentrations:
1000 mg/L
Reference substance (positive control):
yes

3 h
Dose descriptor:
NOEC
Effect conc.:
1 000 mg/L
Nominal / measured:

Conc. based on:
test mat.
Results with reference substance (positive control):
The 3-hour EC50 of the reference item 3,5-dichlorophenol (positive control) was calculated to be 17 mg/L with 95% confidence limits from 1 to 241 mg/L. The 3-hour EC50 is within the guideline-recommended range of 5-30 mg/L, confirming the suitability of the activated sludge used.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
NOEC(3h) > 1000 mg/L
Executive summary:

The test item had no significant inhibitory effect (<15%) on the respiration rate of activated sludge after the incubation period of three hours at the limit test concentration of 1000 mg/L.

Thus, the 3-hour NOEC (EC 15) of the substance to activated sludge microorganisms was at least 1000 mg/L. This value might even be higher, but concentrations above 1000 mg/L were not tested. The 3-hour EC20, EC50, and EC80 could not be calculated, but were clearly higher than 1000 mg/L.

The oxygen consumption rates of the two controls (run at the start and at the end of the test) differed by 8% (guideline-recommended maximum variation: 15%).
