Reference
Endpoint:
activated sludge respiration inhibition testing
Type of information:
read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study with acceptable restrictions
Justification for type of information:
Read-across from the alternative salt form of the registered substance is justified and documented in section 13.
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
read-across source
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 209 (Activated Sludge, Respiration Inhibition Test (Carbon and Ammonium Oxidation))
Deviations:
no
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method C.11 (Biodegradation: Activated Sludge Respiration Inhibition Test)
Deviations:
no
Test organisms (species):
activated sludge, domestic
Test type:
static
Water media type:
freshwater
Limit test:
no
Total exposure duration:
3 h
Nominal and measured concentrations:
1000, 500, 250, 125, 62.5 mg/L as nominal concentration based on test substance without correction of purity and blank controls.

Duration:
3 h
Dose descriptor:
EC50
Effect conc.:
>= 1 000 mg/L
Nominal / measured:
nominal
Conc. based on:
test mat.
Basis for effect:
inhibition of total respiration
Duration:
3 h
Dose descriptor:
other: EC80
Effect conc.:
>= 1 000 mg/L
Nominal / measured:
nominal
Conc. based on:
test mat.
Basis for effect:
inhibition of total respiration
Conclusions:
The activated sludge respiration inhibition study performed on the source substance resulted in EC10 and EC50 values of >= 1000 mg/L (nominal conc.) based on inhibition of total respiration. This result is directly applicable to the registered target substance.

Description of key information

Based on a valid Activated Sludge Respiration Inhibition Test according to OECD Guideline 209 on the read-across substance, the 3-hour EC10 and EC50 of the substance is considered to be >1000 mg/L.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

EC50 for microorganisms:
1 000 mg/L
EC10 or NOEC for microorganisms:
1 000 mg/L
