- EU Method C.11 (Biodegradation: Activated Sludge Respiration Inhibition Test)
- Deviations:

- Analytical monitoring:
- no
- Vehicle:
- yes
- Details on test solutions:
- 50 mg test item were dissolved in 100 ml water. To accelerate the process it was ultrasonic-treated for 3 minutes. At the start of the test the formulation, 16 ml synthetic sewage feed and 200 ml inoculum were mixed in the test vessel and filled up to 500 ml with water. During the contact time the vessels were continuously aerated.
- Test organisms (species):
- activated sludge
- Details on inoculum:
- The inoculum was derived from a treatment plant (Gemeinschaftsklarwerk Bitterfeld-Wolfen) which processes predominantly domestic sewage. A fresh sample of activated sludge was washed with tap water and the sample was adjusted for a level of 4 g/l suspended solids. The activated sludge was aerated until use.

- Total exposure duration:
- 3 h
- Test temperature:
- 20.6°C
- pH:
- 7.7 - 7.9
- Nominal and measured concentrations:
- 100 mg/l nominal
- Reference substance (positive control):

- Key result
- Duration:
- 3 h
- Dose descriptor:
- EC50
- Effect conc.:
- > 100 mg/L
- Nominal / measured:
- nominal
- Conc. based on:
- test mat.
- Basis for effect:
- inhibition of total respiration
- Remarks:
- respiration rate
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- After a contact of 3 hours no inhibition of the respiration rate by the test item at a concentration of 100 mg/1 was measured. For this reason in the present study the test item seems to be non-toxic in the respiration test at the concentration tested. Thus, the EC50 of the test item is greater than 100 mg/1.
- Executive summary:
The inhibitory effect of N-(2-Nitrophenyl)phosphoric triamide on bacteria was tested by measuring the respiration rate of activated sludge. The study was performed according to the EU guideline No. C. 11. The bacteria of activated sludge from a sewage treatment plant were exposed to the test item at a concentration of 100 mg/1. The test item solution, activated sludge and synthetic sewage feed were mixed in a test vessel and the content of the vessel was aerated during the incubation period. After a contact time of 3 hours the respiration rate was measured by an oxygen electrode. No inhibition of the respiration activity of the bacteria was measured after the 3 hours contact time. The result demonstrates that the median effective concentration (EC50) is greater than the test concentration of 100 mg/1.

Activated sludge from a biologic sewage treatment plant was used. The chosen plant treats mostly household sewage.
Source and Pre-Treatment
Source
The sludge was collected from the activation basin of the ESN (Stadtentsorgung Neu-stadt) sewage treatment plant, Im Altenschemel, 67435 NW-Lachen-Speyerdorf.
Date of collection: 17. July 2014

- 4 h
- Nominal and measured concentrations:
- 100 mg/l

- Effect conc.:
- > 100 mg/L
- Nominal / measured:

- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The test item was tested using six concentrations ranging from 0.01 to 3.2 mg/L test item and with urea and one concentration containing 100 mg/L without urea. At the highest test concentration 100 mg/L, no significant inhibition of nitrification could be observed (5 %).
- Executive summary:
One valid experiment was performed.
The result of a non-GLP pre-test was used to define the test conditions and the treatments to be tested in the experiment under GLP conditions.
The test for inhibition of nitrification was performed as a limit test at the concentration 100 mg/L.
The test item is a urease inhibitor. Therefore, for testing whether formation of ammonium from urea in presence of the test item was affected, additional replicates (control, positive-control and test replicates) were tested. In these additional replicates, the nutrient medium was supplemented with 2.15 g/L urea (CH4N2O), corresponding to 1 g/L nitrogen from urea (CH4N2O-N). The positive control with urea was not necessary for evaluation of the results.
In the main study, the test item was tested using six concentrations ranging from 0.01 to 3.2 mg/L test item in nutrient medium supplemented with urea and one concentration containing 100 mg/L in nutrient medium without urea. Urease inhibition was estimated by the content of total inorganic nitrogen (NH4-N, NO2-N and NO3-N) at the end of the test in the test replicates with urea, compared with the control replicate with urea.
The duration of the test was four hours. Activated sludge was used as the inoculum. It was taken from a domestic sewage treatment plant and washed before usage. The dry matter was determined as 3.14 g suspended solids/L, giving a concentration of 1.57 g suspended solids/L in the test.
N-Allylthiourea in a concentration of 11.6 mg/L was used as positive control for inhibition of nitrification. At this concentration, complete inhibition of nitrification was reached.
The following results were detected for the test item 2-NPT:

Additional information
EU C.11:
The inhibitory effect of N-(2-Nitrophenyl)phosphoric triamide on bacteria was tested by measuring the respiration rate of activated sludge. The study was performed according to the EU guideline No. C. 11. The bacteria of activated sludge from a sewage treatment plant were exposed to the test item at a concentration of 100 mg/1. After a contact time of 3 hours the respiration rate was measured by an oxygen electrode. No inhibition of the respiration activity of the bacteria was measured after the 3 hours contact time. The result demonstrates that the median effective concentration (EC50) is greater than the test concentration of 100 mg/1.
ISO 9509:
The test for inhibition of nitrification was performed as a limit test at the concentration 100 mg/L.
The test item is a urease inhibitor. Therefore, for testing whether formation of ammonium from urea in presence of the test item was affected, additional replicates (control, positive-control and test replicates) were tested. In these additional replicates, the nutrient medium was supplemented with 2.15 g/L urea (CH4N2O), corresponding to 1 g/L nitrogen from urea (CH4N2O-N). The positive control with urea was not necessary for evaluation of the results.
In the main study, the test item was tested using six concentrations ranging from 0.01 to 3.2 mg/L test item in nutrient medium supplemented with urea and one concentration containing 100 mg/L in nutrient medium without urea. Urease inhibition was estimated by the content of total inorganic nitrogen (NH4-N, NO2-N and NO3-N) at the end of the test in the test replicates with urea, compared with the control replicate with urea.
The duration of the test was four hours. Activated sludge was used as the inoculum. It was taken from a domestic sewage treatment plant and washed before usage. The dry matter was determined as 3.14 g suspended solids/L, giving a concentration of 1.57 g suspended solids/L in the test.
