- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTIONS
- Preparation of test item solutions :
A stock solution with a nominal concentration of 13.81 mg test item/L was prepared by dissolving 13810 mg of the test item in 1000 mL water and thoroughly mixed by intense stirring for 10 minutes. In this way a clear solution was obtained. The pH of the stock solution was adjusted from 8.3 to 7.4 with 0.5M sulfuric acid solution. Adequate volumes of this stock solution were diluted with water to prepare the test media with the lower test item concentrations. The exact amounts used are given in the table1. Then, 16 mL of synthetic sewage feed and 250 mL of activated sludge inoculum were added.
- Preparation of reference substance (3,5-dichlorophenol) solutions :
A stock solution of 3,5-dichlorophenol was prepared by dissolving 0.5g of 3,5-dichlorophenol directly in about 950 mL water with the aid of ultrasonification and intense stirring. The 3,5-dichlorophenol solution was adjusted with NaOH to pH 7.7 and make up to one liter. The final concentration of 3,5-dichlorophenol amounted to 500 mg/L. Aliquots of this 3,5-dichlorophenol stock solution were mixed with water, synthetic sewage feed and inoculum in the respective vesssels to obtain the desired test concentrations (3.2, 10 and 32 mg/L).
- Preparation of test system :
At the start of the test, 16 ml of synthetic sewage were made up to 250 mL with water and 250 mL activated sludge inoculum with a sludge concentration of nominally 3 g/L (dry weight) were added to the first control vessel. Thereafter, in time intervals of about fifteen minutes (an arbitrary but convenient interval) the procedure was repeated, except that the 16 mL synthetic sewage were added to the appropriate amounts of reference item or test item in water to obtain a volume of 250 mL, followed by the addition of 250 mL inoculum.
The addition of the inoculum to the incubation mixture is considered as the start of the 3-hour incubation period.
- Evidence of undissolved material (e.g. precipitate, surface film, etc) : no - Test organisms (species):
- activated sludge of a predominantly domestic sewage
- Details on inoculum:
- - Source of the inoculum : aerobic sludge from a wastewater treatment plant (ARA Ergolz II, Füllinsdorf / Switzerland) treating predominantly domestic wastewater.
- Pretreatment : no
- Method of cultivation : no data
- Preparation of inoculum for exposure : The sludge was washed twice with the chlorine free tap water by centrifugation and the supernatant liquid phase was decanted. A homogenized aliquot of the final sludge suspension was weighed, thereafter dried and the ratio of wet to dry weight was calculated.
Based on this ratio, a calculated amount of wet sludge was resuspended in tap water to obtain a concentration equivalent to 3 g dry material per liter. During the holding period of two days prior to use, the sludge was fed daily with 50 mL synthetic sewage feed per liter and was kept at room temperature under continuous aeration until use. Before use, the dry weight of the activated sludge was measured again and reajusted to the level of 3 g dry weight per liter in the inoculum used for the test, equivalent to 1.5 g/L in the final incubation mixture. The pH of the activated sludge was 7.9. - Test type:

dissolved in 1 litre of deionized water. The pH of this solution was 7.2.
EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED
For measurement of the respiration rate a well-mixed sample of each test medium was poured into a BOD-flask after three hours incubation time, and was not further aerated. Then the oxygen consumption rate (in mg O2 L-1 minute-1) was measured with an oxygene electrode and was continuously recording. During measurement, the samples were continuously stirred on a magnetic stirrer. The oxygen consumption rate was determined from the linear part of the respiration curve normally in the range 7-2.5 mg O2/L. - Reference substance (positive control):

- Details on results:
- At all tested concentrations up to and including 2762 mg test item/L, corresponding to 1000 mg active ingredient/L, the inhibition of the respiration rate of activated sludge after the incubation period of three hours was in the range -56.7 to 1.2% compared to the control, i.e. a stimulatory effect was observed for all tested concentrations except the highest one.
According to these results, the test item had no significant inhibitory effect on the respiration rate of up to and including the highest test item concentration of 2762 mg/L.
Thus, the 3-hour NOEC of test item to activated sludge microorganisms was at least 2762 mg/L (1000 mg active ingredient/L). This value might even be higher but concentrations above 2762 mg/L (1000 mg active ingredient/L) were not tested. The 3-hour EC20, EC50 and EC80 could not be calculated but were clearly higher than 2762 mg/L (1000 mg active ingredient/L).
The specific respiration rates for the two blank control replicates prepared at the beginning of the beginning of the exposure period were 55 and 56 mg O2 per dry weight of activated sludge per hour, for the two blank controls prepared after the reference item group were 57 to 54 mg O2/gh and for two replicates prepared at the end of the test were 52 and 49 mg O2/gh. All six values are higher than the 20 mg O2/gh stipulated in the guideline, not more than 30%. - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- The 3-hour EC50 of the reference item 3,5-dichlorophenol (positive control) was calculated to be 18 mg/L. The 3-hour EC50 is within the Guideline-recommended range of 2-25 mg/l, confirming suitability of the activated sludge used.
- Reported statistics and error estimates:
- Test item :
The 3h-EC20, EC50 and EC80 and their 95%-confidence limits could not be calculated because of the absence of a toxic effect. - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Remarks:
- The variation in respiration rates of controls 1 and 2 after 3 hours contact time : less than 15% (+/-2%) ; The 3-hour EC50 of the reference substance is in the accepted range to 5 to 30 mg/l (6.9 mg/l)
- Conclusions:
- The test item has no inhibitory effect on the respiration rate of activated sludge after the incubation period of three hours up to and including the test concentration of 2762 mg test item/L, corresponding to 1000 mg active ingredient/L.
- Executive summary:
The inhibition effect of test item on the respiration rate of aerobic wastewater microorganisms of activated sludge was investigated in a 3 -hour respiration inhibition test according to the OECD Guidelines for testing of Chemicals, No. 209 "Activated Sludge, Respiration Inhibition Test", adopted 2010.
Based on the results of range-finding test and in agreement with the sponsor a definitive test with the following nominal test item concentrations, with three replicates per concentration, was performed : 173, 345, 691, 1381, 2762 mg test item/L corresponding to 62.5, 125, 250, 500 and 1000 mg active ingredient (C8-18 cocoamidopropyl hydroxysultaine)/L.
As a positive control, the reference item 3,5 -dichlorophenol was tested under identical test conditions, at concentrations of 3.2, 10 and 32 mg/L (all single replicates).
Six blank controls, containing an equal volume of activated sludge and synthetic medium but no test or reference item, were included in the definitive test.
The 3 -hour NOEC and ECx-values were as follows :
NOEC : >= 2762 mg test item/L (>= 1000 mg active ingredient/L)
EC10 : > 2762 mg test item/L (> 1000 mg active ingredient/L)
EC50 : > 2762 mg test item/L ( > 1000 mg active ingredient/L)
Conclusion :
The test item has no inhibitory effect on the respiration rate of activated sludge after the incubation period of three hours up to and including the test concentration of 2762 mg test item/L, corresponding to 1000 mg active ingredient/L.

- Executive summary:
The inhibition effect of the target substance, C12 -14 cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine (C12 -14 AAPHS) on the respiration rate of aerobic wastewater microorganisms of activated sludge estimated based on read-across from a study testing C8-18 cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine (C8-18 AAPHS). Given that C12 -14 AAPHS and C8-18 AAPHS share the same functional groups and general composition, the main variable being alkyl chain distribution, C8 -18 AAPHS was considered appropriate for the purposes of read-across to C12 -14 AAPHS.

Description of key information
C8-18 AAPHS has no inhibitory effect on the respiration rate of activated sludge after the incubation period of three hours up to and including the test concentration of 2762 mg test item/L, corresponding to 1000 mg C8 -18 AAPHS /L. The 3h EC50 is therefore >1000 mg C8-18 AAPHS /L and is considered appropriate for read-across purposes to C12 -14 AAPHS.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- EC50 for microorganisms:
- 1 000 mg/L
- EC10 or NOEC for microorganisms:
- 1 000 mg/L
