The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information

Biotic degradation

The biodegradation potential of the substance was examined in a study according to OECD TG 301D (Closed Bottle test) and in compliance with GLP criteria (Dr. Noack, 2017).

Test item at a concentration of 4 mg/L (ca. 7.36 mg/L based on ThOD) was inoculated for 28 days under aerobic conditions with inoculum of the aqueous phase of non-adapted activated sludge derived from a municipal sewage treatment plant. In addition, an inoculum control, a reference control (5 mg/L sodium acetate) and a toxicity control (with 2 mg/L test substance and 5 mg/L reference substance) were run in parallel.Two duplicate bottles of all series were withdrawn for analyses of the dissolved oxygen concentration at day 0 and after 7, 14, 21, and 28 exposure. Cumulative percentages biodegradation were calculated from the oxygen depletion ratio BOD/ThOD. All validity criteria were met.

After the 28-day incubation period the substance was biodegraded 10%. Based on these findings the substance is classified as not readily biodegradable.
