- Test organisms (species):

- Details on inoculum:
- Species / Origin:
Activated Sludge, micro organisms from a domestic waste water treatment plant was supplied by the municipal sewage treatment plant Darmstadt, Germany.
Conditioning:
The activated sludge was washed by centrifugation and the supernatant liquid phase was decanted. The solid material was re-suspended in tap water and again centrifuged. The latter procedure was repeated twice. The washed sludge was resuspended in tap water and sewage feed (50 mL per L) was added. The sludge was kept at room temperature under continuous aeration until use over night. Immediately before use, the dry weight of the activated sludge was determined and diluted to 3.8 mg/L with tap water. The pH of the activated sludge was 7.8 and therefore no adjustment necessary. - Test type:
- static
- Water media type:
- not specified
- Limit test:
- no
- Total exposure duration:
- 3 h
- Hardness:
- no data
- Test temperature:
- 21°C during dissolution phase (24 hours)
19-21 °C during pre-incubation (3 hours)
18-20°C during evaluation period - pH:
- At the start of the study the pH of the activated sludge was 7.8 and therefore no adjustment was necessary.
During the study pH values of 7.4 at the start and 8.6 at the end of study (after 3h) were determined. - Dissolved oxygen:
- The concentration of dissolved oxygen did not drop below 2.5 mg O2/L during the incubation period and just before the measurements of the respiration rates the oxygen concentrations were at least 8.5 mg O2/L and thus >6.5 mg O2/L.
- Salinity:
- NA
- Nominal and measured concentrations:
- The test item is not soluble in water. Therefore, the test item was directly weighed into the test vessels and stirred for about 24 hours before using in the experiment. The respiration rates of the activated sludge treated with the test item at concentrations between 10 and 1000 mg/L differed by less than 10% from control.
The following test concentrations were checked:
1) Test substance: 10, 32, 100, 320 and 1000 mg/L
2) Reference substance 3,5 -Dichlorophenol: 3.2, 10 and 32 mg/L - Details on test conditions:
- NA
- Reference substance (positive control):
- yes
- Remarks:
- 3,5-Dichlorophenol
- Duration:
- 3 h
- Dose descriptor:
- EC50
- Effect conc.:
- > 1 000 mg/L
- Nominal / measured:
- nominal
- Conc. based on:
- test mat.
- Basis for effect:
- inhibition of total respiration
- Remarks:
- respiration rate
- Details on results:
- Based on measured inhibition rates, the 3 -hour EC10, EC20 and EC50 could not be quantified because up to the highest nominal test concentration of 1000 mg/L less than 10% inhibition was noted after three hours incubation. No dose related response was found. The test according to OECD 209 guideline does not provide a threshold value for the determination of a NOEC. If a deviation of less ≤ 15% between test item treated activated sludge and control is considered not to be an effect, the NOEC of the test item will be established above 1000 mg/L.
- Results with reference substance (positive control):
- The 3 -hour EC50 of 3,5 -Dichlorophenol was calculated to be 10.4 mg/L with 95% confidence limits of 7.4 - 14.6 mg/L.
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- Based on measured inhibition rates, the 3 -hour EC10, EC20 and EC50 could not be quantified because up to the highest nominal test concentration of 1000 mg/L less than 10% inhibition was noted after three hours incubation. No dose related response was found. The test according to OECD 209 guideline does not provide a threshold value for the determination of a NOEC. If a deviation of less ≤ 15% between test item treated activated sludge and control is considered not to be an effect, the NOEC of the test item will be established above 1000 mg/L.
The 3 -hour EC50 of 3,5 -Dichlorophenol was calculated to be 10.4 mg/L with 95% confidence limits of 7.4 - 14.6 mg/L (results see also attached). - Executive summary:
The test item is not soluble in water. Therefore, the test item was directly weighed into the test vessels and stirred for about 24 hours before using in the experiment. The respiration rates of the activated sludge treated with the test item at concentrations between 10 and 1000 mg/L differed by less than 10% from control.
