- Executive summary:
The acute toxicity to microorganisms of (benzylamine)trifluoroborn was tested according to EU Method C.11. The method assessed the effect of the test item by measuring the respiration rate under defined conditions in the presence of different test concentrations. The study was conducted under GLP compliance. A mixed population of aquatic microorganisms (activated sludge), taken from a laboratory scale sewage treatment plant unit which runs predominantly with domestic sewage (South Wupper area water authority) was used as inoculum. An incubation period of 30 min was chosen with aeration. Two controls without test item were included in the test design. The sensitivity of the activated sludge was checked using 3.5 -Dichlorophenol as reference compound. The physico-chemical oxygen consumption control was carried out, since some substances may consume oxygen by chemical reactivity. Direct weighings were prepared to give the different test item concentrations, which were 1000, 1800, 3200, 5600 and 10000 mg/L. 3.5 -Dichlorophenol was used in the concentrations of 2.5, 5, 10, 20 and 40 mg/L. 10000 mg/L test item was included in the physico-chemical oxygen consumption control. No analytical methods were applied.
Analysis of the respiration rates at the end of the test gave the following result: EC50 = 5850 mg/L. The EC50 value of the reference compound was measured to be 15 mg/L, thus being in the validity range of 5 - 30 mg/L.
