- Executive summary:
A study was conducted to determine the toxicity of the substance to activated sludge microorganisms according to OECD Guideline 209, in compliance with GLP. Activated sludge was exposed to the test substance at concentrations of 0, 1, 10 and 100 mg/L for 3 h. A reference substance (3, 5 - dichlorophenol) was included in this study at 1, 10 and 50 mg/L. The inhibition of the total respiration rate was measured and the mean percent of this parameter was calculated to be 14.31, 19.35, and 20.25% for 1, 10 and 100 mg/L of the test substance, respectively. Under the study conditions, the 3 h EC50 of the substance in activated sludge microorganisms was determined to be >100 mg a.i./L (Giarei, 2016).
Reference
Expression of results:
- Oxygen consumption rate (R) in mg/Lh: R = (Q1 -Q2)/Dt * 60 where;
Q1 is the O2 conc. at the beginning of the linear phase (mg/L)
Q2 is the O2 conc. at the end of the linear phase (mg/L)
Dt is the time interval between 2 measurements (min)
- Specific resrespiration ate (Rs) is expressed as the amount of oxygen consumed per g dry weight of sludges per hour (mg/gh): R/SS where; SS is the conc. of suspended solids in the mixture (g/L)
- Different indices of R which may be combined are: S (specific rate), T (total respiration rate), A (rate due to abiotic processes), and B (rate based on blank assays control (mean)).
- The percentage inhibition It (%) of total oxygen consumption at each concentration of the test substance:
It = (1 -(Rt-Rta)/Rtb) * 100
(Rta is equal to 0 if there will be no oxygen uptake in the preliminary test in the abiotic control of if the test substance does not have strong reducing properties).
Interpretation of results:
EC50 values including their associated 95% confidence limit were calculated by EPA Probit porgram Version 1.5.
