Description of key information
The biodegradation potential of cyclododecanole was tested in the "Closed Bottle Test" according to OECD TG 301 D (Hüls AG, 1994). The oxygen consumption of a mixed bacteria population from the effluent of a STP was monitored over a period of 28 days. Furthermore, cyclododecanole was tested in the "BODIS Test" (BOD of insoluable chemicals) according to the draft ISO guideline 10708 (Hüls AG, 1994).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- readily biodegradable
Additional information
Both in the "Closed Bottle Test" and in the "BODIS Test" the test substance was observed to be readily biodegradable (83% and 88% degradation within 28 days).
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
