- Method:
Definitive Test:
For the purpose of the definitive test, the test material was dispersed directly in water.
An amount of test material (500 mg) was dispersed in approximately 250 ml of water and subjected to ultrasonication for approximately 15 minutes. Intense stirring for 24 hours. After 24 hours synthetic sewage (16 ml), activated sewage sludge (200 ml) were added
- Synthetic waste water: The synthetic waste water was made as shown below:
16 g peptone
11 g meat extract
3 g urea
0.7 g NaCl filled up to a final volume of 1 liter
0.4 g CaCl2 · 2H2O with deionized water
0.2 g MgSO4 · 7H2O
2.8 g K2HPO4
This was filled up to a final volume of 1 l with deionised water
At the start of the test (after the stirring period of 24 hours), synthetic wastewater and activated sludge inoculum were added. The inoculum had a sludge concentration of 3.3 g/L dry weight (corresponding to about 1.3 g dry material per litre test medium). The sludge was added in time intervals of 15 minutes (an arbitrary but convenient interval) first to a control, secondly to the test solutions of the reference item, thirdly to the test solutions of the test item, and finally to the second control.
- Differential loading:
Not applicable.
- Controls:
Two controls containing only tap water, synthetic wastewater and inoculum were tested in parallel to the five test item concentrations under identical test conditions.
The reference item 3,5-dichlorophenol was tested in parallel under identical test conditions, and functioned as a positive control. The nominal concentrations tested were 5, 16 and 50 mg/L. A stock solution of 3,5-dichlorophenol was prepared according to the test guidelines: 0.5 g of 3,5-dichlorophenol was dissolved in 10 mL 1 M NaOH and diluted to about 30 mL with purified water. Excess NaOH was neutralized with 0.5 mol/L H2SO4 to the point of incipient precipitation. Thereafter, the mixture was made up to one litre with purified water. The pH was 7.8. The final concentration of 3,5-dichlorophenol amounted to 500 mg/L. Aliquots of this 3,5-dichlorophenol stock solution were mixed with synthetic wastewater and tap water in the test vessels to obtain the desired concentrations.

- Details on inoculum:
- The study was performed with aerobic activated sludge from a wastewater treatment plant (ARA Ergolz II, Füllinsdorf, Switzerland) treating predominantly domestic wastewater. The sludge was washed twice with 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.

- Dissolved oxygen:
- The dissolved oxygen concentrations was determined after the addition of synthetic wastewater and activated sludge in all test media and the controls at the start and at the end of the 3-hour incubation period.
The concentration of dissolved oxygen did not drop below 2.5 mg/L during the incubation period, and just before measurement of the respiration rates, the dissolved oxygen concentrations was at least 7.4 mg/L. - Salinity:
- Not applicable.
- Nominal and measured concentrations:
- The final nominal test concentrations were 10, 32, 100, 320 and 1000 mg/L. Test item amounts of 4.93, 16.51, 48.00, 155.20 and 520.76 mg were directly weighed by means of an analytical balance and transferred to the test vessels with 284 mL of tap water.

TEST SYSTEM
Preparation of test system: Test item amounts of 4.93, 16.51, 48.00, 155.20 and 520.76 mg were directly weighed by means of an analytical balance and transferred to the test vessels with 284 mL of tap water. The test item was mixed into the tap water by ultrasonic treatment for 15 minutes and intense stirring for 24 hours at room temperature in the dark, to dissolve a maximum amount of the test item and/or disperse it as homogeneously as possible. No emulsifiers or solvents were used. After the 24-hour stirring period, 16 mL of synthetic wastewater and 200 mL of the activated sludge inoculum were added (see table 1 in methods section).
OTHER TEST CONDITIONS
- Adjustment of pH:
The pH values of the test preparations at the start and end of the exposure period are given in Table 4
- Photoperiod:
3 hours.
- Light intensity:
Normal laboratory lighting.
EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED (with observation intervals if applicable) :
In order to calculate the inhibitory effect of the test and reference materials the respiration rate was expressed as a percentage of the two control respiration rates. The inhibitory effect of the test item, or of the reference item on the respiration rate (oxygen consumption per minute) is expressed as a percentage of the mean respiration rate of the two controls measured at the start and at the end of the test series (vessels 1 and 10).
% inhibition = [ 1 – (2 RS/RC1 + RC2) ] x 100
where
RS = oxygen consumption rate for test or reference sample
RC1 + RC2 = oxygen consumption rates for controls 1 and 2
The NOEC (3-hour EC15), the 3-hour EC20, EC50 and EC80 of the test and reference item (and their 95%-confidence limits) were (as far as possible) calculated by Probit Analysis. All test results were based on nominal concentrations of the test and reference item.
