Key value for chemical safety assessment

Biodegradation in water:
readily biodegradable

Additional information

One study investigating the ready biodegradability of Bis(tridecyl) adipate (CAS 16958-92-2) is available. The study was conducted according to OECD guideline 301B under aerobic conditions using non-adapted activated sludge, from a STP which predominately treats domestic sewage, as inoculum (Defleur, 1998). Based on CO2 evolution a mean degradation of 75.6% was observed after 28 days. The criterion to pass the 10 -day window is not applicable for UVCB substances. Hence, the substance is determined to be readily biodegradable according to OECD criteria.
