Recording: Test conditions were measured with suitable instruments and documented in the raw data.
CONTROLS
Untreated Control (C1 and C2): Two controls (deionised water, synthetic sewage and inoculum, but without addition of the test item) were tested in parallel.
Reference Control (R1 – R3): In parallel to the study with the test item, the reference item 3,5-Dichlorophenol was tested (the nominal test concentrations of 5, 16 and 32 mg/L) under otherwise identical test conditions. A stock solution of 3,5-Dichlorophenol was prepared according to the OECD Guideline No. 209: 0.25 g of 3,5-Dichlorophenol was dissolved in 5 mL 1 mol/L NaOH and diluted to about 15 mL with deionised water. Excess of NaOH was neutralised with approximately 4 mL of 0.5 mol/L H2SO4 to the point of incipient precipitation. Thereafter, the mixture was made up to with deionised water. The final pH was measured to be 7.62 and the final concentration amounted 500 mg/L.
TEST UNITS
Type and size: Erlenmeyer bottles of approximately 350 mL volume, and BOD bottles with special neck of 300 mL volume.Identification: Each test flask was uniquely identified with at least study code, treatment and replicate codes (in case of controls).
PERFORMANCE OF THE TEST
Preparations of the test flasks: One test solution with a final volume of 330 mL was tested per treatment in a glass flask. 10.56 mL synthetic sewage and an adequate amount of the test item or an adequate volume of the stock solution of the reference item was filled up with deionised water to 198 mL before the start of the test. At the start of the test 132 mL activated sludge inoculum with a sludge concentration of 4 g/L (dry weight) was added, first to first control (C1), then in time intervals of 15 minutes (an arbitrary but convenient interval) to the test solutions of the reference item and the test item and finally to a second control (C2). Time interval between the third reference item flask and the first test item solution flask was more than 15 minutes.
Measurement of Respiration Rate
For the measurement of the respiration rate a well-mixed sample of each treatment was poured into a BOD flask after exactly 3 hours incubation time, and was not further aerated. The oxygen concentration was measured with a stirring O2electrode and was recorded for about ten minutes. The oxygen consumption (in mg O2L-1minute-1) was determinedfrom the most linear part of the respiration curve.
Measurement of pH, Dissolved Oxygen and Water Temperature
The pH and the oxygen concentrations were determined at the start and at the end of the incubation period in all treatments. The temperature was measured in the climate chamber with a min/max thermometer during the incubation period. The water temperature was recorded during the oxygen measurement in all BOD bottles.

- Remarks:
- respiration rate
- Details on results:
- In comparison to the inoculum controls the respiration rate of the activated sludge was inhibited between 4.2 % and 12.5 % in the examined nominal test concentration range (10 - 1000 mg/L). Concentrations exceeding 1000 mg/L nominal were not tested.
The influence of Kronitex TXP on the respiration rate of activated sludge is shown in Table 1 and in Figure 1.
Based on measured inhibition rates it can be stated that the 3-hour EC20, EC50 and EC80 were higher than 1000 mg/L.
The NOEC was determined to be 1000 mg/L.
The NOEC for respiration rates was not based on the results of a statistical analysis, but it is biologically justified. The respiration rates were inhibited and influenced dose dependently in the whole concentration range, and the observed slight inhibition (12.5 %) at the concentration level of 1000 mg/L was evaluated as reflecting the biological variability in the test. The calculated respiration rate, 0.420 (at 1000 mg/L) was not in the historical control data range (0.524 +/- 0.070), but the deviation from the control was within +/- 15 %, it can be considered as a biological variability of the test system. - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- The following nominal concentrations of the positive reference control 3,5-Dichlorophenol were tested on the same activated sludge and under identical conditions as the test item: 5, 16 and 32 mg/L. In comparison to the controls the respiration rate of the activated sludge was inhibited by 35.4 % at the lowest nominal concentration of 5 mg/L. At the nominal concentrations of 16 and 32 mg/L, the respiration rate was inhibited by 60.4 % and 81.3 %, respectively. The 3-hour EC50 of 3,5-Dichlorophenol was calculated to be 9.46 mg/L with 95 % confidence limits of 7.40 to 12.11 mg
- Reported statistics and error estimates:
- See above.
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- A laboratory test was carried out with Kronitex TXP to evaluate the effect of the test item on microorganisms by measuring the respiration rate.
The test concentrations (10, 31, 100, 313 and 1000 mg/L) were chosen to permit the determination of the EC50.
In comparison to the inoculum controls the respiration rate of the activated sludge was inhibited between 4.2 % and 12.5 % in the examined nominal test concentration range (10 - 1000 mg/L). Concentrations exceeding 1000 mg/L nominal were not tested.

In comparison to the controls the respiration rate of the activated sludge was inhibited by 35.4 % at the lowest nominal concentration of 5 mg/L. At the nominal concentrations of 16 and 32 mg/L, the respiration rate was inhibited by 60.4 % and 81.3 %, respectively.

VALIDITY CRITERIA -The respiration rates of the two controls did not differ by more than 15 % (4.2 %). -The 3-hour EC50 of the reference item 3,5-Dichlorophenol for the used activated sludge batch was determined to be in the range of 5 to 30 mg/L (9.46 mg/L). -The concentration of dissolved oxygen did not drop below 2.5 mg O2/L during the incubation period, and just before the measurements of the respiration rates the oxygen concentrations were at least 7.0 mg O2/L.

Validity Criteria
-The respiration rates of the two controls did not differ by more than 15 % (4.2 %).
-The 3-hour EC50of the reference item 3,5-Dichlorophenol for the used activated sludge batch was determined to be in the range of 5 to 30 mg/L (9.46 mg/L).
-The concentration of dissolved oxygen did not drop below 2.5 mg O2/L during the incubation period, and just before the measurements of the respiration rates the oxygen concentrations were at least 7.0 mg O2/L.

- EC10 or NOEC for microorganisms:
- 1 000 mg/L
Additional information
Experimental study using the test substance.
In comparison to the inoculum controls the respiration rate of the activated sludge was inhibited between 4.2 % and 12.5 % in the examined nominal test concentration range (10 - 1000 mg/L). Concentrations exceeding 1000 mg/L nominal were not tested.
In parallel to the study with the test item, the reference item 3,5-Dichlorophenol was tested (the nominal test concentrations of 5, 16 and 32 mg/L) under otherwise identical test conditions.
The 3-hour EC50of 3,5-Dichlorophenol was calculated to be 9.46 mg/L with 95 % confidence limits of 7.40 to 12.11 mg/L.
Based on measured inhibition rates it can be stated that the 3-hour EC20, EC50and EC80were higher than 1000 mg/L.
The NOEC was determined to be 1000 mg/L.
The NOEC for respiration rates was not based on the results of a statistical analysis, but it is biologically justified. The respiration rates were inhibited and influenced dose dependently in the whole concentration range, and the observed slight inhibition (12.5 %) at the concentration level of 1000 mg/L was evaluated as reflecting the biological variability in the test. The calculated respiration rate, 0.420 (at 1000 mg/L) was not in the historical control data range (0.524±0.070), but the deviation from the control was within +/- 15 %, it can be considered as a biological variability of the test system.
Read-across information:
Two studies are presented for Activated Sludge Respiration Inhibition with the following results:
Where TPP content > 5%
NOEC (3 h): 1000 mg/L test mat. (nominal) based on: respiration rate
EC50 (3 h): > 1000 mg/L test mat. (nominal) based on: respiration rate
Where TPP content < 5%
EC50 (3 h): > 1000 ppm dissolved (nominal) based on: respiration rate
The substance is not considered to pose a hazard to STP microorganisms and is not dependent on triphenyl phosphate content.
