Executive summary:

The inbibitory effect of the test item Fluowet I 800 on the respiration rate of aerobic wastewater miccroorganisms of activated sludge was investigated in a 3 -hour respiration inhibition test according to the OECD Guideline 2009. In accordance with the EU Commission Directive 92/69/EEc (C.1, C.2 and C.3), a limit test with a nominal test concentration of 1000 mg/L was performed.

In addition, two controls and three different concentrations of the reference item 3,5 -dichlorphenol (5, 16 and 50 mg/L) were tested in parallel. the results of these treatments confirmed suitability of the activated slufge and the method used.

The test item had no significant inhibitory effect (< 15%) on the respiration rate of activated slufge after the incubation period of three hours at the test item concentration of 1000 mg/l.

Thus, the 3 -hour NOEC (EC15) of the test iten to activated sludge microorganisms was at least 1000 mg/L. this value might even be higher, but concentrations above 1000 mg(L were not tested. The 3 -hour EC20, EC50 and EC80 could not be calculated but were clearly higher than 1000 mg/L
