OECD Guideline 209 (Activated Sludge, Respiration Inhibition Test
Deviations:
no
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: ETAD method No. 103
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes
Specific details on test material used for the study:
STABILITY AND STORAGE CONDITIONS OF TEST MATERIAL
- Storage condition of test material: room temperature
- Solubility of the test substance in the solvent/vehicle: >100 g/l
- Appearance: Solid
Analytical monitoring:
not specified
Vehicle:
no
Test organisms (species):
other: Sludge from a Husman laboratory apparatus
Test type:
static
Water media type:
not specified
Limit test:
no
Total exposure duration:
3 h
Test temperature:
20 °C
Nominal and measured concentrations:
- Nominal test concentration: 1, 3.2, 10, 32 and 100 mg/L
Reference substance (positive control):
yes
Remarks:
3,5-dichlorophenol (RIEDEL- DE HAEN AG., No.62493)
Duration:
3 h
Dose descriptor:
IC50
Effect conc.:
> 100 mg/L
Nominal / measured:
nominal
Conc. based on:
test mat.
Basis for effect:
inhibition of total respiration
Remarks:
respiration rate
Details on results:
To calculate the inhibitory effect of a test substance, its respiration rate is expressed as a percentage of the mean of two control respiration rates.
IC50 was calculated to be >100 mg/L.No inhibition was seen at any of the test concentrations.
Results with reference substance (positive control):
The IC50 of the reference substance 3,5-Dichlorophenol is: 20 mg/L.
Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
The IC50 of FAT 40406/A was determined at >100 mg/L.
Executive summary:

The IC50 of FAT 40406/A was determined in a respiration inhibition test performed according to OECD 209, correspondig to ETAD-Method No.103. In this study, a mixed culture of bacteria (sludge of a Husman apparatus) was exposed to 1, 3.2, 10, 32 and 100 mg of test substance/L for 3 h. Positive control was used was 3,5- Dichlorophenol. No inhibition was seen at any of the test concentrations after the incubation period of 3 h. Hence, IC50 was estimated to be >100 mg/L. The IC50 of positive control was estimated to be 20 mg/L.

Description of key information

The 3-h EC50 of Reactive Red 245 was found to be >100 mg/L in microorganisms.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

EC50 for microorganisms:
100 mg/L

Additional information

The IC50of Reactive Red 245 was determined in a respiration inhibition test performed according to OECD 209, correspondig to ETAD-Method No.103. In this study, a mixed culture of bacteria (sludge of a Husman apparatus) was exposed to 1, 3.2, 10, 32 and 100 mg of test substance/L for 3 h. Positive control was used was 3,5- Dichlorophenol. No inhibition was seen at any of the test concentrations after the incubation period of 3 h. Hence IC50 was estimated to be >100 mg/L. The IC50 of positive control was estimated to be 20 mg/L.
