- REPORTING FORMAT FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH
[further information is included as attachment to Iuclid section 13]
1. HYPOTHESIS FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH
This read-across is based on the hypothesis that the common compound ClO3- is solely responsible for the effects encountered, because the source and the target substance were transformed (by dissociation) into chlorate-ion (ClO3-).
2. SOURCE AND TARGET CHEMICAL(S) (INCLUDING INFORMATION ON PURITY AND IMPURITIES)
Refer to the Test material section of the source and target records.

- Basis for effect:
- other: respiration rate
- Remarks on result:
- other: sodium chlorate
- Details on results:
- - The respiration rate of the test solution of highest concentration (1000 mg/L) was equivalent to the respiration rate of the first control
(i.e. these rates were within 15% of each other).
Therefore, the oxygen consumption rate of the four other test solutions (10 to 316 mg/L) was not determined.
- Was control response satisfactory: yes - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- Concentrations: 4, 12 and 36 mg/L and inoculum at 1.6 g/L.
Results: EC50 = 14.3 mg/l (95% c.l. 12.4-16.5 mg/l) - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- Test conducted under GLP with,analysis certificate and to relevant guideline. This study can be considered reliable without restrictions.
The EC50 based on respiration rate is greater than 1000 mg/l.
Because no efffects were seen at 100 mg/l it can be said that the NOEC is greater than or equal to 1000 mg/l. - Executive summary:
At the request of Cefic Sodium Chlorate Herbicide Registration Group, Brussels, Belgium, the effect of the test item, SODIUM CHLORATE, on the respiration of activated sewage sludge was evaluated using a 3-hour static test according to OECD guideline (No. 209, 4th April 1984).
Methods
The test solutions were prepared as follows:
• two control solutions: activated sludge in dechlorinated water to obtain a final sludge concentration of 1.6 g/L,
• five test item solutions: activated sludge in dechlorinated water (at 1.6 g/L) and test item (to obtain final concentrations of 10, 31.6, 100, 316 and 1000 mg/L),
• three reference item (3,5-dichlorophenol) solutions: activated sludge in dechlorinated water (at 1.6 g/L) and reference item (to obtain final concentrations of 4, 12 and 36 mg/L).
The oxygen consumption of test solutions was measured for approximately 10 minutes, with a chart recorder, after an aeration of 3 hours. The EC50 (concentration expected to cause 50% inhibition of the respiration rate) of the test item and the reference item was determined considering the oxygen consumption of the controls as 100%.
Results
As the validity criteria were met (the difference between the two controls was below 15% and the EC50 of 3,5-dichlorophenol was between 5 and 30 mg/L), the test was considered valid.
The respiration rate of the test solution of highest concentration (1000 mg/L) was equivalent to the respiration rate of the first control (i.e. these rates were within 15% of each other). Therefore, the oxygen consumption rate of the four other test solutions
(10 to 316 mg/L) was not determined.
EC50s, based on nominal concentrations, were as follows:
Substance 3 -hour EC50 (mg/L) 95% confidence limits (mg/L) Test item > 1000 Reference item 14.3 12.4 - 16.5 Conclusion
Under our experimental conditions, the 3-hour EC50 of the test item SODIUM CHLORATE is > 1000 mg/L for activated sludge.
The test item should be considered as non-toxic for the micro-organisms of a water treatment plant.
Based on read-across approach, it can be concluded that the result of the microrganisms study conducted with the source substance is likely to predict the properties of the target substance with an EC50 greater than 1151 mg/L based on molecular weight of potassium chlorate.

- Details on test solutions:
- Preparation of the stock solution: The test item was dissolved at 2 g/L in dechlorinated water. The stock solution was agitated during 5 minutes.

- Details on inoculum:
- Innoculum: Activated sludge
- Source: the water treatment plant of Evreux, France treating predominantly domestic wastewater.
- Pretreatment: the inoculum was left to settle and the supernatant rejected. It was then filtered (to remove the biggest particles) and washed with
dechlorinated water. Four samples of 50 mL were taken to determine the content in suspended matter (dry weight).
The concentration of sludge (4.98 g/L) was then adjusted to 4 g/L by addition of the appropriate volume of dechlorinated water.
Clean air was passed through the inoculum at the rate of 0.5 to 1 L/min until use.

- Feeding: 50 mL of sewage feed were added, per liter prior to the test. - Test type:
- static

- no
- Total exposure duration:
- 3 h
- Test temperature:
- Temperature of incubation: 21-23°C.
- pH:
- The pH of the test solution at 1000 mg/L was 7.83.
- Dissolved oxygen:
- Aeration: Air was bubbled through each solution at the rate of 0.5 to 1 L/min until the start of oxygen concentration measurements.
- Nominal and measured concentrations:
- Nominal test concentrations: 10, 31.6,100, 316 and 1000 mg/L and inoculum at 1.6 g/L.
- Details on test conditions:
- Type: aquatic
Controls: without test substance prepared at the beginning and at the end of the test
Measurements: Measurement of oxygen concentration was determined using an oxygen probe placed into an opaque BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand) flask filled with the test or reference solution which was agitated with a magnetic stirrer.
The oxygen probe was connected to a meter equipped with a chart recorder. - Reference substance (positive control):

Description of key information
The NOEC is equal to or greater than 1000 mg/l sodium chlorate. On a molecular weight basis this would be 1151 mg/l potassium chlorate.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- EC10 or NOEC for microorganisms:
- 1 151 mg/L
Additional information
No studies are available for potassium chlorate.
One test with activated sludge for sodium chlorate was considered to be valid.
The respiration rate of the microorganisms in the test solution of 1000 mg/l was equivalent to that of the controls. The EC50 for aquatic microorganisms is greater than 1000 mg/l and the NOEC is equal to or greater than 1000 mg/l for sodium chlorate.
On a molecular weight basis this would be 1151 mg/l potassium chlorate for both EC50 and NOEC.
