TEST CONCENTRATIONS
- Range finding study: No - Reference substance (positive control):
- yes
- Remarks:
- 3,5-dichlorophenol
- Duration:
- 30 min
- Dose descriptor:
- EC50
- Effect conc.:
- > 1 000 mg/L
- Nominal / measured:
- nominal
- Conc. based on:
- test mat.
- Basis for effect:
- inhibition of heterotrophic respiration
- Key result
- 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 heterotrophic respiration
- Remarks on result:
- other: The study was carried out as a "limit test" at a single test concentration of 1000 mg/L using 3 replicate test vessels. Values of between 31 - 33% Inhibition were obtained after 3 hours contact time.
- Details on results:
- - Any observations (e.g. precipitation) that might cause a difference between measured and nominal values: none
- Effect concentrations exceeding solubility of substance in test medium: none
After 3 hours the EC50 was determined to be > 1000 mg/L - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- - Results with reference substance valid? yes
The EC50 of the reference substance was determined to be 14 mg/L after 30 minutes and 9.4 mg/L after 3 hous. - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- After 3 hours the EC50 was determined to be > 1000 mg/L.
The "limit test" at a single test concentration was carried out as opposed to a full EC50 determination over a range of test concentrations as the results of the preliminary range-finding studies indicates that testing at concentrations in excess of 1000 mg/L would not result in percentage inhibition values in excess of 50% and so enable determination of an EC50 value.
It is considered unnecessary and unrealistic to test at concentrations in excess of 1000 mg/L and so, therefore it was considered justifiable to carry out a "limit test" at 1000 mg/L and to state the percentage inhibition, EC50, values being >1000 mg/L - Executive summary:
