Endpoint:
biodegradation in water: ready biodegradability
Type of information:
(Q)SAR
Adequacy of study:
weight of evidence
Study period:
2022
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
results derived from a valid (Q)SAR model and falling into its applicability domain, with limited documentation / justification
Remarks:
Different valid QSAR models were used to support other experimental data and QSAR predictions. They are all summarized in table 2
Principles of method if other than guideline:
1. SOFTWARE
Several models were used:
- Ready Biodegradability Prediction (EPISUITE)
- Biowin5 (MITI Linear Biodeg Probability) (EPISUITE)
- Biowin6 (MITI Non-Linear Biodeg Probability) (EPISUITE)
- Biowin2 (Non-Linear Biodeg Probability) (EPISUITE)
- Biowin3 (Survey Model - Ultimate Biodeg) (EPISUITE)
- CATALOGIC: CATALOGIC Kinetic 301F
- CATALOGIC: CATALOGIC 301C

2. MODEL (incl. version number)
EPISUITE, Biowin v.4.11 (Biowin 1-6)
CATALOGIC 301F v.15.18, November 2021
CATALOGIC 301C v.12.17

3. SMILES OR OTHER IDENTIFIERS USED AS INPUT FOR THE MODEL:
see table 1

4. SCIENTIFIC VALIDITY OF THE (Q)SAR MODEL
See attached QMRF.

5. APPLICABILITY DOMAIN
The structures are within the applicability domain of the models

6. ADEQUACY OF THE RESULT
- The model is scientifically valid (see attached QMRF).
- The model estimates the biodegradability of a substance Screening information on the ready biodegradability is required for substances manufactured or imported in quantities of 1 t/y or more. Depending on the results, further information may be required for substances manufactured or imported in quantities of 100 t/y or more (simulation testing on ultimate degradation in surface water/soil/sediment). Column 2 of REACH Annex VII provides exemptions for conducting the study. It does not need to be conducted if the substance is inorganic. According to column 2 of REACH Annex IX, testing is not required if the substance is highly insoluble in water, or the substance is readily biodegradable.
Specific details on test material used for the study:
The test item is an UVCB with two identified components:
CAS 112-70-9 ( quantity: 29-41 %) and CAS 629-76-5 (quantity: 12-19 %). 38-59 % of the test item are an isomeric mixture of branched C13 and C15 alcohols which can not be identified analytically. Therefore, 16 possible structures were chosen by an expert group (see table 1) for QSAR calculations. In total, QSAR predictions for 18 structures were performed.

Description of key information

The substance is considered as being readily biodegradable according to QSAR modelling of its constituents. This is supported by the results of a ready biodegradability tests according to ISO DIN 9439 and EU Method C.4-D as the UVCB shows a degradation rate of 80-100% in 28 days.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Biodegradation in water:
readily biodegradable

Additional information

The test item is an UVCB with two known and analytically identified components:



  • 29-41% CAS 112-70-9, tridecan-1-ol

  • 12-19% CAS 629-76-5, pentadecan-1-ol


Besides that, the substance consists of an isomeric mixture of branched C13 and C15 alcohols (38-59%). Due to the high similarity of the isomeric structures, it is not possible to identify all structures analytically. Therefore, 16 possible and representative branched C13 and C15 alcohol structures were selected theoretically by an expert group. The structures were selected based on different C-chain length and different position of the methyl-group (see table 1 for structure SMILE codes).


The assessment of the biodegradation potential of the test item is based on reliable QSAR predictions for the two identified components (CAS 112-70-9 and CAS 629-76-5) of the UVCB. These predictions were supported by additional QSAR calculations for the selected and identified representative structures.


In Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, it is laid down that information on intrinsic properties of substances may be generated by means other than tests, provided that the conditions set out in Annex XI (of the same Regulation) are met.


According to Annex XI of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (Q)SAR results can be used if (1) the scientific validity of the (Q)SAR model has been established, (2) the substance falls within the applicability domain of the (Q)SAR model, (3) the results are adequate for the purpose of classification and labeling and/or risk assessment and (4) adequate and reliable documentation of the applied method is provided.


For the assessment of the substance (Q)SAR results were used for assessment of biodegradation. The criteria listed in Annex XI of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 are considered to be adequately fulfilled and therefore the endpoint(s) sufficiently covered and suitable for risk assessment.


The results of QSAR modelling of the main constituents 1-Tridecanol (CAS 112-70-9) and 1-Pentadecanol (CAS 629-76-5)  and of potential constituents of the alcohols C13-15 branched and linear showed that the UVCB can be considered to be readily biodegradable and that none of the consituents is poorly biodegradable or persistent.


These results is supported by the study results of the substance itself. The biodegradation potential of the substance in water was determined in a screening study according to ISO DIN 9439 (CO2 -Evolution Test) (BASF, 1999). In this study 26 mg/L test substance (20 mg/L based on TOC) was inoculated with non-adapted activated sludge from predominantly domestic sewage for 28 days under aerobic conditions. During the incubation period degradation was followed by determining the CO2-production in the controls and each treatment group at daily intervals. After the 28 -day incubation period 100% of the test substance was biodegraded. Approximately 10% degradation was seen at day 3 and the pass level of 60% degradation was reached after about 12 days. Therefore, the 10 -window criterion was met. Based on these findings, the test substance is classified as readily biodegradable.


These findings are further supported by findings from a biodegradation screening study according to EC TM C4 -D. In this study, 100 mg/L test substance was inoculated with activated sludge for 28 days and the oxygen consumption compared to a blank control. After 28 -days exposure 88.3% degradation was determined as BOD/ThOD*100. The lag phase lasted 2 days, the beginning of the plateau phase was determined at day 10. Therefore, the 10 -d window criterion was met. These findings confirm the ready biodegradability of the substance.
