ACTIVATED SLUDGE RESPIRATION INHIBITION TEST OF ZONYLC^FCC^)
(OECD 209)
SUMMARY
Test System:
Zonyl(FCCyvatsested for toxicity towards activated sludge according to OECD Guideline
V
209 in the version dated 4-April-1984. For the determination of the toxic behavior of the test substance, activated sludge from the aeration tank of a municipal sewage treatment plant was exposed to the test chemical over a range of 10 to 1000 mg L'1. After 30 minutes of incubation, the respiration rate of the activated sludge was determined and compared to the respiration rate
of the controls.
Findings:
Under the conditions of the test, the highest test concentration of the test substance,
1000 mg L'\ exhibited <20% inhibition of the respiration rate (the detection limit of the
system).
Conclusions:
The EC5o of the test chemical could not be quantified because the highest nominal test concentration of 1000 mg/L resulted in less than 20% inhibition after 30 m of contact time. The EC5o of the test chemical is estimated to be greater than 1000 mg L''.

MATERIALS AND METHODS
Test Guidelines
The purpose of the procedure is to provide a rapid screening method whereby substances that may adversely affect aerobic microorganisms from municipal sewage treatment plants can be identified and to indicate the suitable non-inhibitory concentrations of test substances to be used in biodegradability tests. The test uses a microbial inoculum and a synthetic sewage feed. The respiration rate of the test system is measured after an exposure period of 30 minutes under controlled laboratory conditions. The inhibitory effect of the test chemical at the particular concentrations is expressed as percentage of the mean respiration rate of the
controls.

Test Vehicle No test vehicle was used in this study for the test substance. The test chemical was mixed with synthetic sewage feed, water, and inoculum before addition to the test vessel.
Application Information The test chemical was added to the test vessels from a stock solution at the following concentrations: 1000, 320, 100, 32 and 10 mg L"'.
Biological System Secondary activated sludge from Cecil County Fletchwood Facility, Maryland (USA) Publically Owned Treatment Works (POTW) was used as the microbial inoculum. The activated sludge was aerated and used within 24 h of collection. The solids were separated by coarse filtration, centrifuged at 10,000 m s'2 for approximately 10 minutes, washed twice, and resuspended in tap water. The solids concentration was determined by dry weight and adjusted to yield an inoculum concentration equivalent to about 4 g per liter (on dry weight
basis).

Physical System
Test Units The test vessels used in the incubation period were glass flasks of approximately 1-liter. For the measurement of the respiration rate, samples were transferred to 300-mL Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) glass bottles.
Test Conditions Test solutions were aerated for a 30-minute contact period at room temperature.
Test Conduct All test vessels were 1-liter glass flasks and contained a final volume of 500 mL. The test solution contained 16 mL of synthetic sewage feed, 200 mL microbial inoculum (containing approximately 4 g dry weight/L), the test chemical at the appropriate test solution concentration, and tap water to a final test volume of 500 mL. The test was initiated with the first positive control by combining the sewage feed, tap water, and inoculum in a 500 mL graduated cylinder and transferring it to the appropriately labeled test vessel. Aeration at 0.5 to 1.0 liter per minute initiated the test. The test vessel was continuously stirred using a stir bar and stir plate. The procedure was repeated at approximately 15-minute intervals with the reference chemical (at three concentrations) and then the test chemical to give a series of test vessels containing different concentrations of the test substance. A negative (abiotic) control at the highest test concentration was initiated by combining sewage feed, tap water, and test substance stock solution at the highest concentration in a 500 mL graduated cylinder. The solution was transferred to the test vessel to begin aeration. The final flask was a second positive control, prepared exactly as the first. The test was conducted so that the reference and test substances were bracketed by the two controls:
1. first positive control
2. reference chemical at 3 concentrations
3. test chemical at 5 concentrations

Parameters Observed
Analysis of Test Systems The respiration rate of a well-mixed sample of each treatment was determined after exactly 30 minutes of incubation time with aeration. The oxygen concentration was measured with an oxygen electrode and recorded over a period of up to about 10 minutes. During measurement, the samples were continuously stirred with a stirrer built into the oxygen electrode and measurements were recorded using an attached printer. The rate of oxygen consumption (in mg C>2L'1 h'1) was determined from the most linear part of the respiration
curve.
The temperature was measured in the positive control flasks at the start and the end of the
incubation period.
Result Analysis The respiration rate was calculated from the recorder output as mg 02 L"' h'1 over a period of approximately 10 minutes or less. The portion of the respiration curve over which the
respiration rate was determined should be linear.
The inhibitory effects were determined by comparing the rates at each concentration of either test or reference chemical to the rates in the controls. The results are expressed as percentage of the mean value of the respiration rates of the two controls according to:
where
^ ff
1-------s-- * 100= Percent inhibition
(1)
Ac, + ^2.
Rs = oxygen consumption rate at tested concentration of test substance
Rcj = oxygen consumption rate of positive control 1
Rc2 = oxygen consumption rate of positive control 2
The percent inhibition was calculated at each test concentration as above.
A linear regression analysis was performed using the Regression Analysis Tool in Microsoft Excel 2000. Percent inhibition was used as the input y-values. LoglO of the test or reference chemical concentration was used as the input x-values. From this analysis, an equation relating chemical concentration to percent inhibition was determined at the 95% confidence level (p = 0.05)
Percent Inhibition = A * [loglO (EC)] + B
(2)
where: A = X Variable 1, determined by the regression analysis
EC = Effective Concentration of the Test or Reference Chemical, in mg/L
B = Intercept, determined by the regression analysis

To calculate an 50, equation (2) was solved for [logio(EC)]. set equal to 50.
Logio(EC5o) = (Percent Inhibition - B)/ A
Percent Inhibition was then (3)
For A = 50.933 and B = -5.404 Logio(EC5o) = (50 - (-5.404))/ 50.933)
=1.088 EC5o:=101088:=12mg/L
Similarly, an EC20 and EC80 can be calculated by using a Percent Inhibition equal to 20 or 80, respectively, in equation (3). For example:
Logio(ECzo) = (20 - (-5.404))/ 50.933)
= 0.4988
ECzo^O^^mg/L
The percent inhibition also was plotted against concentration as a log-normal (or logprobability) graph, from which an ECso value can be derived graphically.
Validity Criteria of the Study
The test results are valid if:
The two positive control respiration rates (PCRR) rates are within 15 percent of each
other.
The EC5o of reference chemical 3,5-dichlorophenol is in the accepted range of 5 to 30mgL-'.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The test chemical showed no acute toxic effect towards the microbial inoculum (activated sludge) at the highest concentration of 1000 mg L'' that was tested.
ECso of the reference chemical was 12 mg 3,5-dichlorophenol per liter, which was within the acceptable range of from 5 to 30 mg L"1.
The respiration rates of the two positive controls were within 4%.
CONCLUSIONS
The EC5o of the test chemical Zonyl^nHk estimated to be greater than 1000 mg L''.
/
The EC5o of the reference chemical 3,5-dichlorophenol is 12 mg L''.
The respiration rates of the two positive controls were within 15% of each other.
The test is valid. .
