Additional information

The respiration inhibition of activated sludge was investigated in a study conducted according to OECD Guideline 209 and EU Method C.11. Activated sludge taken from a domestic sewage treatment plant was exposed to non-volatile, high-boiling byproducts from the cumene-phenol process at nominal concentrations ranging from approximately 10 to 1000 mg/L for 3 h under static conditions. The 3 h NOEC, EC10, and EC50 of the test item were determined as 100, 240, and >1000 mg/L (nominal), respectively.
