Reference
Endpoint:
activated sludge respiration inhibition testing
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
09/2018-11/2018
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 209 (Activated Sludge, Respiration Inhibition Test (Carbon and Ammonium Oxidation))
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Analytical monitoring:
no
Details on sampling:
8 mL of the synthetic medium and 100 mL of activated sludge were added to the dissolved test item. The mixture was filled up with deionised water to 250 mL and aerated at 20 ± 2 °C.
The exposure medium with the reference substance was prepared by adding 8 mL of the synthetic medium, 100 mL of activated sludge and a defined amount of the stock solution to achieve the test concentrations, and was filled up with deionised water to 250 mL and aerated at 20 ± 2°C.
Control vessels (inoculated sample without test item) were prepared the same way.

Executive summary:

A study was performed to assess the toxicity of TRIFLUORACETAMID to bacteria.

The activated sludge was exposed to TRIFLUORACETAMID at a limit test item concentration of 100 mg/L. The respiration rate of each mixture was determined after aeration periods of 3 hours.

The EC50 is higher than 100 mg/L. The NOEC is equal or higher than 100 mg/L.

Description of key information

The EC50 is higher than 100 mg/L. The NOEC is equal or higher than 100 mg/L.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

EC50 for microorganisms:
100 mg/L
EC10 or NOEC for microorganisms:
100 mg/L
