- yes
- Specific details on test material used for the study:
- Methomyl technical
DPX-X1179-512
Purity: 100% - Analytical monitoring:
- no
- Vehicle:
- yes
- Remarks:
- tap water
- Details on test solutions:
- A stock solution of nominal 1 g/L was prepared by dissolving 200 mg test item into 200 mL test water by intense stirring for 10 minutes and ultrasonic treatment for 15 minutes.
- Test organisms (species):
- activated sludge of a predominantly domestic sewage
- Details on inoculum:
- - Laboratory culture:
activated sludge, micro organisms from a domestic waste water treatment plant.
- Name and location of sewage treatment plant where inoculum was collected: supplied by the sewage plant Groß-Zimmern, Germany
The sludge was washed by centrifugation and the supernatant liquid phase was decanted. The solid material was resuspended in tap water and again centrifuged. The latter procedure was repeated twice. An aliquot of the final sludge suspension was weighed, dried and the ratio of wet sludge (g) to its dry weight (g) determined. Based on this ratio, calculated aliquots of washed sludge suspension, corresponding to 4 g dry material per litre, were made up with tap water. To this mixture, 50 mL synthetic sewage feed (see 3.3) per litre was added daily, starting two days prior to use, and the sludge was kept at room temperature under continuous aeration until use. Immediately before use, the dry weight of the activated sludge was determined, and adjusted to 4 g/L with tap water again. The pH of the activated sludge was determined to be pH 7.9. - Test type:
- static
- Water media type:
- freshwater
- Limit test:
- yes
- Total exposure duration:
- 3 h
- pH:
- 7.7-9.0
- Nominal and measured concentrations:
- Nominal: 0, 1.0, 3.2, 10.0, 32.0, and 100.0 mg/L
- Details on test conditions:
- TEST SYSTEM
- Test vessel: glass flasks of approximately 1 litre volume and Karlsruher flasks of 250 mL volume
- Aeration: with compressed air (approximately 0.6 litre per minute); air flow rate was determined manually
- No. of vessels per concentration (replicates): 1
- No. of vessels per control (replicates): 1
EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED :
For the measurement of the respiration rate a well mixed sample of each test medium was poured into a Karlsruher flask after exactly 3 hours incubation time, and was not further aerated. The oxygen concentration was measured with an oxygen electrode, and was recorded for about ten minutes. During measurement, the samples were continuously stirred on a magnetic stirrer. The oxygen consumption (in mg O2 L-1 minute-1) was determined from the most linear part of the respiration curve in the range between approximately 6.5 and 2.5 mg O2/L. - Reference substance (positive control):
- yes
- Remarks:
- 3,5-dichlorophenol
- Key result
- Duration:
- 3 h
- Dose descriptor:
- EC50
- Effect conc.:
- > 100 mg/L
- Nominal / measured:
- nominal
- Basis for effect:
- other: inhibition of respiration rate
- Details on results:
- In comparison to the inoculum controls the respiration rate of the activated sludge was inhibited by 4.2 % at the lowest test concentration of 1.0 mg Methomyl (DPX-X1179) Technical/L. At the test concentrations of 3.2 and 10 mg test item/L inhibition rates of 11.5 % and 4.2 % were determined. Inhibition rates increased up to 13.7 % and 23.9 % at the two highest test concentrations of 32 and 100 mg/L. From the determined inhibition rates, the 3-hour EC 20 was calculated to be 86.7 mg test item/L. The 3-hour EC 50 was > 100 mg test item/L.
- Results with reference substance (positive control):
- The 3-hour EC 50 for the positive control 3,5-dichlorophenol, which was tested in the same way as the test item, was found to be 13.2 mg/L and is within the range of 5 - 30 mg/L recommended by the test guidelines; thus, confirming suitability of the activated sludge.
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- 3-hr EC50 > 100 mg/L
- Executive summary:
The influence of the test item Methomyl (DPX-X1179) Technical on the activity of activated sludge was evaluated by measuring the respiration rate under defined conditions. The respiration rate (oxygen consumption) of an aerobic activated sludge fed with a standard amount of synthetic sewage was measured in the presence of various concentrations of the test item after an incubation period of 3 hours. Test concentrations: 100.0, 32.0, 10.0, 3.2 and 1.0 mg Methomyl (DPX-X1179) Technical/L; 32.0, 10.0 and 3.2 mg 3,5-dichlorophenol/L and two inoculum controls.
In comparison to the inoculum controls the respiration rate of the activated sludge was inhibited by 4.2 % at the lowest test concentration of 1.0 mg Methomyl (DPX-X1179) Technical/L. At the test concentrations of 3.2 and 10 mg test item/L inhibition rates of 11.5 % and 4.2 % were determined. Inhibition rates increased up to 13.7 % and 23.9 % at the two highest test concentrations of 32 and 100 mg/L. From the determined inhibition rates, the 3-hour EC 20 was calculated to be 86.7 mg test item/L. The 3-hour EC 50 was > 100 mg test item/L.
The 3-hour EC 50 for the positive control 3,5-dichlorophenol, which was tested in the same way as the test item, was found to be 13.2 mg/L and is within the range of 5 - 30 mg/L recommended by the test guidelines; thus, confirming suitability of the activated sludge.
The 3-hour EC 20 of Methomyl (DPX-X1179) Technical was determined to be 86.7 mg/L The 3-hour EC 50 was higher than 100 mg test item/L.
