Description of key information

The substance was not readily biodegradable under the conditions of a modified MITI test according to OECD guideline 301 C (BASF, 09G0580/09G205, 2016).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

For the determination of the aerobic biodegradability of the test substance in water a modified MITI test according to OECD guideline 301 C was conducted (BASF, 09G0580/09G205, 2016). Mixtures of the test substance, a defined mineral medium and non-adapted, aerobic sludge from several samples were incubated and aerated under static conditions in a respirometer for 28 days. The mean degree of biodegradation of the test substance was 4% BOD/ThOD after an exposure period of 28 days. The results derived from specific analysis show that the test substance had a dissipation degree at the end of exposure of 25% related to the test substance content in the blank control and 98.0% related to the test substance concent in the blank control at the start of exposure. Thus, the test substance is not readily biodegradable under the conditions of this test.
