Remarks:
Although the study has been conducted according to GLP guidelines, no final report was drafted. The data summary lacks detail on: identity/composition of test material, materials and methods which makes it difficult to interpret the available data and to reproduce the study

Test material

Constituent 1
Chemical structure
Reference substance name:
N-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]acrylamide
EC Number:
223-342-4
EC Name:
N-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]acrylamide
Cas Number:
3845-76-9
Molecular formula:
C8 H16 N2 O
IUPAC Name:
N‐[3‐(dimethylamino)propyl]prop‐2‐enamide
Details on test material:
In the study report no information is provided about the exact composition of the material tested. However, the DIMAPA test sample was taken at the end of the production process at "Ringleitung P10" which is the same sampling point as used for substance analytical identification.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Remarks:
it is stated that the test can be considered valid as the criteria for the reference substance have been fulfilled.
Interpretation of results:
under test conditions no biodegradation observed
Conclusions:
28-day biodegradation of DIMAPA after product sample loads of 15.3 and 30.6 mg/l (10 and 20 mg C respectively) was 0%. DIMAPA should therefore, under the test conditions applied, be considered not readily biodegradable.
