- Relevant effect levels: EC50: 94.4 mg/L - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- The NOEC was determined by calculation of statistical significance of the inhibition of respiration in comparison to the control. One Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and DUNNETT’s test was used for NOEC calculations. When running a One Way Analysis of Variance a Normality test and an Equal Variance test were done first. P-values for both Normality and Equal Variance test were 0.05. The -value (acceptable probability of incorrectly concluding that there is a difference) is a=0.05.
The EC-values of the test item were calculated by sigmoidal dose-response regression and the EC50-value of the reference item by linear regression using software GraphPad Prism, GRAPHPAD SOFTWARE, INC. Calculation of the confidence intervals for the EC50-values was carried out using standard procedures. - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The EC10 of the test item Sodium methyl oleyl taurate is 72.2 mg/L, corresponding to 44.0 mg a.i./L. The test item is not toxic up to the concentration of 72.2 mg/L, corresponding to 44.0 mg a.i./L, to activated sludge of a municipal sewage treatment plant.
The EC50 is > 1000 mg/L, corresponding to > 610 mg a.i./L. - Executive summary:
A Respiration Inhibition Test with activated sludge according to OECD Guideline No. 209 was carried out with the test item Sodium methyl oleyl taurate (batch number: DEB4003485) from 2012-11-20 to 2012-11-21, with the definitive exposure on 2012-11-21 at the Dr.U.Noack-Laboratorien, 31157 Sarstedt, Germany. Test system was activated sludge of the municipal treatment plant of 31137 Hildesheim, Germany. The test was carried out under static conditions with the substance concentrations 10 - 32 - 100 - 320 - 1000 mg/L, corresponding to 6.10 - 19.5 - 61.0 - 195 - 610 mg a.i./L. The respiration rates of the control, reference and test item replicates were measured after a contact time of three hours, and the inhibitory effects of the test and reference item were determined in comparison to the control respiration rates. The mean inhibition of respiration for the test item replicates ranged from 3 % to 47 %.
In order to check the activity of the test system and the test conditions a reference test was carried out with copper (II) sulphate pentahydrate as reference item and the reference toxicity was determined. The EC50-value for the reference item was 94.4 mg/L.
IMPORTANT NOTE TO AVOID CONFUSION:
As the registration substance is a UVCB this means that the test item is 100% active ingredient.

Reference
From the oxygen depletion the oxygen uptake rates were calculated in mg O2/L×h, additionally the specific respiration rates based on the dry sludge concentration were calculated in mg O2/g×h.
The inhibition of the oxygen uptake rates of the test and reference item concentrations in % was calculated in comparison with the oxygen uptake rates of the control.
