Details on sampling:
- Concentrations: 7.6, 19.2, 48.0, 120.0 and 300.0 mg of the test substance/L
- Sampling method: The appropriate amounts of the test substance were added to the sludge samples at the beginning of the incubation

Details on test solutions:
The test substance was poorly soluble in water and hydrolyses and polymerises quickly when in contact with water. To assure that the non altered test substance was tested as far as possible, no stock solution/suspension was prepared but the appropriate amounts of the test substance were added to the sludge samples at the beginning of the incubation. This treatment is in accordance with the EPA-Guideline OPPTS 850.6800.
Test organisms (species):
activated sludge of a predominantly domestic sewage
Details on inoculum:
- Preparation of inoculum for exposure: A sample of activated sludge was collected one day before the test. The container for transportation was only about 2/3 filled in order to maintain the contact with air. At arrival in the laboratory (less than 1 hour after sample collection), the supernatant over the sludge was decanted, the sludge was diluted with tap water and aerated by means of compressed air. 50 mL of synthetic sewage concentrate were added per litre each day. On the day of the test the sludge was allowed to sediment and the supernatant was decanted.
On the basis of this calculation the concentration of suspended solids was adjusted to 4 g/L with tap water

Reported statistics and error estimates:
For each sample a linear regression was calculated from the linear part of the graph time versus oxygen content. From the oxygen content at the begin and at the end of this regression line the respiration rates (expressed in mg O2.L-1.h-1) were calculated.
The concentrations of the test substance around 50 % inhibition (if such data exist) and the concentrations of the positive control are converted to log10. These values and the corresponding percentage of inhibition are subjected to linear regression analysis. These analyses are used to obtain the regression coefficients and the respective EC20, EC50 and EC80 values.

OTHER TEST CONDITIONS
- Adjustment of pH: Yes

- Light intensity:

EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED (with observation intervals if applicable): The oxygen concentration was determined with a DO meter "OXI Level 2" and an oxygen electrode. Respiration rates (in mg O2.L-1.h-1) were determined in aliquots of the incubation mixtures. Bottles with narrow neck and a volume of about 100 mL were filled with the sample and positioned on a magnetic stirrer. Then the oxygen electrode (equipped with a magnetic stirring wheel) was inserted in a way that no air remained in the bottle and that the electrode sealed the bottle neck to avoid contact of the sample with the atmosphere. The decline of oxygen concentration was measured by recording the concentrations of oxygen at various times. pH was determined with a pH-meter in the standardised microbial inoculum before the test and in each sample at the end of the incubation and aeration. The test was performed in a temperature controlled room with automatic temperature registration. The temperature inside the samples was measured with a mercury thermometer.

TEST CONCENTRATIONS
- Spacing factor for test concentrations: The highest concentration of the test substance corresponds to the scheme given in the guidelines. The spacing between the concentrations of 2.5 is within the permitted range of 'not more than 3.2'. The amount of concentrations tested is in agreement with the guidelines which require 'at least 5'. The concentrations of 3,5-dichlorophenol were set around the expected EC50 of 5 to 30 mg/L.
- Test concentrations: Test item: 0 (control), 7.7, 19.2, 48, 120 and 300 mg/L. Positive control: 5, 12.2 and 30 mg/L.

Executive summary:

The study was performed to estimate possible effects of WASOX-MMAC2 on aerobic microbial sewage treatment plants. The test was performed according to the OECD Guideline 209, using activated sludge from a sewage treatment plant treating predominantly domestic sewage. Five concentrations of the test substance (7.6, 19.2, 48.0, 120.0 and 300.0 mg/L) were tested versus two negative controls (tap water).

The microbial inoculum was a preparation of activated sludge collected one day before the test. The concentration of the microbial inoculum was adjusted to 4 g of dry weight per litre which gives a final amount of 1.6 g dry weight per litre. The respiration rates of the two negative control samples were within 15 % of each other (± 3.5 ) and the EC50 of 3,5-dichloraphenol was in the accepted range of 5 to 30 mg/L (12.8 mg/L) . The test substance inhibited the respiration of the activated sludge only at higher concentrations and only slightly. The highest obtained inhibition was 27.2 %. The obtained EC-3h for Wasox-MMAC2 were: EC20: 80 mg/L; EC50: > 300 mg/L and EC80: > 300 mg/L.

The solutions of the test and reference items were prepared, in separate batches, in mineral medium equivalent to a concentration of 100 mg chemical/litre, using stock solutions. The pH values were adjusted to 7,4 ± 0,2. with 0.1N NaOH. The requisite volume of solutions of test and reference items, were introduced respectively, into triplicate flasks. 16.4 ml of stock solutions of test and reference items were introduced into the right flasks. Mineral medium only was added to further flasks (for inoculum controls). Potassium hydroxide solution (0.66 ml of 45% KOH) was added to each of the CO2-absorber compartments. The determined content of inoculum at the end of preconditioning was equal to 5.31 mg suspended solids/l. To give a concentration of suspended solids equal to 30 mg/l in each flask, 0.93 ml of preconditioned suspension of inoculum was added into each flask. The flasks were made up to 164 ml volume with prepared mineral medium.

At 28 days of test performance:

- The aerobic biodegradation of methyltriacetoxysilane attained 79.5% of biodegradability (77.6% at 10 -day window).

- The aerobic biodegradation of the toxicity test reached 83.9% of biodegradation.

- The aerobic biodegradation of reference item sodium acetate reached 81.6% of biodegradability.

- The oxygen uptake of the inoculum blank was equal to 43.4 mg/dm3.

Conclusions:
The NOEC (28d) for microorganism toxicity of the test item methyltriacetoxysilane was determined to be 100 mg/L (based on biodegradation).
Executive summary:

A ready biodegradability manometic respirometry test was performed according to OECD Guideline 301 F. Test item methyltriacetoxysilane was incubated for 28 days at a concentration of 100 mg/L with 30 mg/L SS activated sludge inoculum under aerobic conditions in a mineral medium. Additionally, to check the possible inhibitory effect of the test item, a toxicity test run in parallele (100 mg/L test item with 100 mg/L reference subtance and 30 mg/L SS activated sludge inoculum) at same conditions. The NOEC (28d) of methyltriacetoxysilane was determined to be 100 mg/L since the substance degraded well (79.5% of biodegradation at 28 days) and did not inhibit the degradation of the toxicity test (83.9% of biodegradation after 28 days) up to 100 mg/L.

Additional information

The toxicity to microorganism is analized by the read-across approach from analogue substances:

- Read-across from experimental results on butanone oxime: By the read-across from butanone oxime, the toxicity to microorganism of the hydrolysis product of the test item is analysed and covered.

- Read-across from experimental results on analogue silanes: By the read-across from analogue silanes (methyltriacetoxysilane, Wasox-VMAC2 and Wasox-MMAC2), the toxicity to microorganism of the silane part of the substance is analysed and covered, since both test item Butan-2 -one O,O',O''-(vinylsilanetriyl)oxime, like methyltriacetoxysilane, Wasox-VMAC2 and Wasox-MMAC2, undergo rapid hydrolsyis in aqueous to corresponding silanols and at the same time, these silanols undergo continuous condensation reactions.
