Remarks:
(Aldrich Chemical Co. Ltd.,No,24228-4)
Parameter:
other: BOD versus ThOD
Value:
0
Sampling time:
28 d
Results with reference substance:
% of BOD versus ThOD is 98 % .
Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Remarks:
The degradation after 28 days of the reference substance (Anilin) has to be higher than 60 %.
Interpretation of results:
not readily biodegradable
Conclusions:
The % of BOD versus ThOD is 0% (28d).
The substance is not readilty biodegradable.
No toxicity of the test compound can be found.
Executive summary:

The determination of biodegradation was evaluated on the similar substance 01, according to the EEC Directive 79 -831, Annex V. C.7 based on the OECD Guideline 301 C (Ready Biodegradability: Modified MITI Test (I)).

The % of BOD versus ThOD was 0 % at 28 days, therefore the similar substance 01 was not biodegradable. No toxicity of the test compound was found.
