Reference
Endpoint:
toxicity to microorganisms
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
1986-1987
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
comparable to guideline study with acceptable restrictions
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 209 (Activated Sludge, Respiration Inhibition Test
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The test material is evaluated at selected concentrations in a mixture containing buffer, nutrients, growth substrate and microorganisms. The
“degree“ of inhibition can be assessed from measuring (optical density at 530 nm) the turbidity levels of the test material at various concentrations.
The measured optical density values are calculated as a percentage of the seeded growth control system.
GLP compliance:
no
