Test organisms
- Test organisms (species):
- activated sludge
- Details on inoculum:
- Activated sludge obtained from Aeration tank of Datansha Sewage Treatment Plant of Guangzhou with batch number: IAs20190513-1 was used for the study.
Treatment: Coarse particles and impurities were removed from the sludge, then re-suspended in chlorine-free tap water. The activated sludge suspension concentration was determined. Before the study, the sludge suspension concentration was adjusted to 3.0 g/L, and was cultivated, 50 mL of synthetic sewage feed per litre of activated sludge was fed and aerated under the test temperature of 20°C±2°C. The pH value was determined as 7.12 before used.

- other: Deionized water
- Limit test:
- yes
- Total exposure duration:
- 3 h
Test conditions
- Test temperature:
- 20.6°C - 2 l .9°C
- pH:
- pH values of each group at the start and the end of the test were in the range of 7.4 5 - 7. 60 and 7. 66 - 7.99.
- Details on test conditions:
- The test was perfonned at a temperature within the range 20°C±2°C.
The test solutions were aerated with 1 L test vessels inserted into the outlet pipe. The reference substance, test substance, synthetic sewage feed, ATU and deionized water were added into the corresponding test vessels, respectively. The blank controls were prepared in the meantime. After starting the test, 250 mL of activated sludge suspensions were respectively added into each test vessel in tum, with a final volume of 500 mL, aerating and agitating to stay suspending. After the exposure times of three hours, the above test solutions were transferred to 500 mL bottles, then the dissolved oxygen concentrations of each test group and the test temperatures were detennined and recorded. The pH values of each test solution at the start and end of the test were determined. - Reference substance (positive control):

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- Under the present test conditions, the 3h-EC50 of the test substance for the total oxygen uptake was higher than 1000 mg/L.
- Executive summary:
The study was conducted to determine the EC50 value of the respiration Inhibition of the test substance on activated sludge. The study was conducted in accordance with OECD 209 guidelines and GLP. The test mixture contained the test substance, inoculum, synthetic sewage feed and deionized water. A blank control, reference mixtures and abiotic control were used in the study. Test substance had exposure concentrations of 10 mg/L, 100 mg/L and 1000 mg/L (three replicates) and the abiotic control had a concentration of 1000 mg/L in three replicates. After an exposure time of three hours, the test results showed that the 3h-EC50 of the test substance for the total oxygen uptake was higher than 1000 mg/L. The average of oxygen uptake rates of the abiotic control was 0 mg/(L·h), which revealed that there was no obvious abiotic oxygen consumption during the study period. The test temperature were in the range of 20.8°C - 21.5°C during the test, and the pH values of test mixtures at the start and the end of the test were in the range of 7.41 - 7.48 and 7.49 - 7.61, the pH values of a biotic control at the start were in the range of 7.40 - 7.41, and the end of the test were in the range of 4.98 - 5.1.
The absence of inhibition of oxygen consumption by the test substance in the range-finding test demonstrated that a definitive test was unnecessary.
Therefore, under the present test conditions, the 3h-EC50 of the test substance for the total oxygen uptake was > 1000 mg/L.
