Biodegradation in water: screening tests

Description of key information
The test substance was readily biodegradable in two reliable studies (Key Study: BMG, 2010).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- readily biodegradable
Additional information
In the reliable key study (BMG, 2010), the biodegradability of the test substance exposed to microorganisms derived from the activated sludge of a municipal sewage treatment plant was investigated under aerobic static exposure conditions.
The biodegradability - based on CO2evolution - of the test substance was calculated to be 86% of the theoretical value (ThCO2) after an incubation time of 28 days. The biodegradation of the test substance reached 66% at the end of the 10-d window.
Significant biodegradation of the test substance was observed after a lag phase of about 7 days.
The positive control, sodium benzoate, reached 100% biodegradation after 14 days, thus confirming suitability of inoculum and test conditions.
The test substance reached the pass level of 60% for ready biodegradability in the CO2Evolution Test (OECD 301B) within the 10-d window and, therefore, can be termed as readily biodegradable.
This result is supported by another reliable study (Mr. Schwarz, 2004).
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.
