Description of key information

Biodegradation in water:

Estimation Programs Interface Suite (EPI suite, 2018) was run to predict the biodegradation potential of the test compound 4-[(2-chloro-4-nitrophenyl)diazenyl]-N-ethyl-N-[2-[1-(2-methylpropoxy)ethoxy]ethyl]aniline(CAS no. 85750 -13 -6) in the presence of mixed populations of environmental microorganisms. The biodegradability of the substance was calculated using seven different models such as Linear Model, Non-Linear Model, Ultimate Biodegradation Timeframe, Primary Biodegradation Timeframe, MITI Linear Model, MITI Non-Linear Model and Anaerobic Model (called Biowin 1-7, respectively) of the BIOWIN v4.10 software. The results indicate that chemical  4-[(2-chloro-4-nitrophenyl)diazenyl]-N-ethyl-N-[2-[1-(2-methylpropoxy)ethoxy]ethyl]aniline is expected to be not readily biodegradable.

Biodegradation in water:

Predicted data study for target chemical 4-[(2-chloro-4-nitrophenyl)diazenyl]-N-ethyl-N-[2-[1-(2-methylpropoxy)ethoxy]ethyl]aniline(CAS no. 85750 -13 -6) and supporting weight of evidence study for its read across chemical have been reviewed for biodegradation endpoint.

In a predicted data study Estimation Programs Interface Suite (EPI suite, 2018) was run to predict the biodegradation potential of the test compound 4-[(2-chloro-4-nitrophenyl)diazenyl]-N-ethyl-N-[2-[1-(2-methylpropoxy)ethoxy]ethyl]aniline(CAS no. 85750 -13 -6) in the presence of mixed populations of environmental microorganisms. The biodegradability of the substance was calculated using seven different models such as Linear Model, Non-Linear Model, Ultimate Biodegradation Timeframe, Primary Biodegradation Timeframe, MITI Linear Model, MITI Non-Linear Model and Anaerobic Model (called Biowin 1-7, respectively) of the BIOWIN v4.10 software. The results indicate that chemical  4-[(2-chloro-4-nitrophenyl)diazenyl]-N-ethyl-N-[2-[1-(2-methylpropoxy)ethoxy]ethyl]aniline is expected to be not readily biodegradable.

Next study was reviewed from authoritative database in this study the Biodegradation experiment was carried out of test chemical by taking activated sludge as inoculums at 100 mg/L concentration for 28 days. Biodegradation was analyzed by using two parameters that are BOD and UV vis .The initial concentration of test chemical was 30 mg/L. After 4 weeks of incubation percent biodegradation of test chemical was observed 0.0 % by BOD parameter 4.0 % by UV vis parameter in 28 days. Therefore it is concluded that test chemical not readily biodegradable.

Another study was also experimental reviewed from authoritative database in this study the Biodegradation experiment was conducted for 28 days for evaluating the percentage biodegradability of test chemical. Concentration of inoculum i.e, sludge u1 -(4 -Methyl-2 -nitrophenylazo)-2 -naphthosed was 30 mg/l and initial test substance conc. used in the study was 100 mg/l, respectively. The percentage degradation of test substance was determined to be 0 and 1% by BOD and HPLC parameter in 28 days. Thus, based on percentage degradation value is considered to be not readily biodegradable in nature.

On the basis of results of all the studies mentioned above it can be concluded that test chemical 4-[(2-chloro-4-nitrophenyl)diazenyl]-N-ethyl-N-[2-[1-(2-methylpropoxy)ethoxy]ethyl]aniline (CAS no. 85750 -13 -6) is expected to be not biodegradable.
