Reference
Endpoint:
activated sludge respiration inhibition testing
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
1990-08-2 to 1990-09-03
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: According OECD 209, non GLP, limited information on test substance
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 209 (Activated Sludge, Respiration Inhibition Test
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
Instead of using 3,5-dichlorophenol as reference (acc. to OECD 209) potassium dichromate was used in a concentration to inhibit respiration of 50%.
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Instead of using 3,5-dichlorophenol as reference (acc. to OECD 209) potassium dichromate was used in a concentration to inhibit respiration of 50%.
