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.

Ready biodegradability


Key, OECD 301 C, GLP, 4.56% in 28 days (based on HLPC-PDA analysis of residual test substance): not readily biodegradable

Additional information

The biodegradation in water, screening test was performed according to OECD Guideline 301C under GLP compliance. Inoculum used in this study was collected from 11 sites in Korea including 5 rivers (Gangjeong, Mulgeum, Gwangju, Daejeon, Paldang), 4 domestic sewage treatment plants (Dalseo, Gumi, Busan, Jungrang) and 2 industrial wastewater treatment plants (Dalseo, Yeosu). The biodegradation test was conducted according to the SOP of “Biodegradation test” and the oxygen uptake was measured by the BOD meter equipped with 6 bottles. Reference compound, Sodium benzoate, was used to check the microbial activity of treated inoculums. 


The test substance could not be concluded as readily degradable by microorganisms in the aquatic environment. The average percentage biodegradation of the test substance by BOD measurement after 28 days was calculated to be 0.0 % which was less than pass level of biodegradability (60%) specified by the OECD Guideline.


The percentage biodegradations based on the residual amount of test substance by HPLC-PDA analysis was calculated to be 4.65 %.
