- Relevant effect levels: EC50: 97.1 mg/L - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- The NOEC was determined by calculation of statistical significance of the inhibition of respiration in comparison to the control. One Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and DUNNETT’s test was used for NOEC calculations. When running a One Way Analysis of Variance a Normality test and an Equal Variance test were done first. P-values for both Normality and Equal Variance test are 0.05. The -value (acceptable probability of incorrectly concluding that there is a difference) is =0.05.
The EC-values of the test item and the reference item were calculated by sigmoidal dose-response regression and linear regression, respectively, using software GraphPadPrism. Calculations of the confidence intervals for the EC-values were carried out using standard procedures.
Any other information on results incl. tables
From the oxygen depletion the oxygen uptake rates were calculated in mg O2/L×h, additionally the specific respiration rates based on the dry sludge concentration were calculated in mg O2/g×h.
The inhibition of the oxygen uptake rates of the test and reference item concentrations in % was calculated in comparison with the oxygen uptake rates of the control.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The NOEC of (Benzothiazol-2-ylthio) acetic acid is 100 mg/L. The test item is not toxic up to the concentration of 100 mg/L to activated sludge of a municipal sewage treatment plant. The EC10 is 227 mg/L, the EC20 is 336 mg/L and the EC50 and EC80 of the test item are > 1000 mg/L.
- Executive summary:
A Respiration Inhibition Test with activated sludge according to OECD Guideline No. 209 was carried out with the test item(Benzothiazol-2-ylthio) acetic acid(Batch number:41273) from 2014-12-16 to 2014-12-17 at the Dr.U.Noack-Laboratorien, 31157 Sarstedt, Germany. The test item concentrations were pH-measured, pH-adjusted (if necessary) and stirred overnight. The test system was activated sludge of the municipal treatment plant of 31137 Hildesheim, Germany. The test was carried out under static conditions with the test item concentrations10 - 32 - 100 - 320 - 1000 mg/L. The respiration rates of the control, reference and test item replicates were measured after a contact time of three hours, and the inhibitory effects of the test and reference item were determined in comparison to the control respiration rates. The mean inhibition of respiration for the test item replicates ranged from 1 % to 44 %.
In order to check the activity of the test system and the test conditions a reference test was carried out with copper (II) sulphate pentahydrate as reference item and the reference toxicity was determined. The EC50-value for the reference item was 97.1 mg/L.
