Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
EC50 (3h) > 10 mg/l (nominal)
Executive summary:

Activated sludge respiration inhibition test has been performed on test item. A range-finding investigation was conducted at the nominal concentrations of 1.0, 10, 100 and 1000 mg/l. The main test was conducted at the nominal concentration of 10 mg/l; three replicates were assayed. Blank control and reference item, 3,5-dichlorophenol, have also been tested.

The EC50 after 3 hours of contact time has been indicated as higher than 10 mg/l.

Conclusion

EC50 (3h) > 10 mg/l (nominal)
