Study design

Oxygen conditions:
aerobic
Inoculum or test system:
activated sludge, domestic (adaptation not specified)
Duration of test (contact time):
28 d
Initial test substance concentration
Initial conc.:
12 mg/L

CO2 evolution

Results and discussion

% Degradation
Parameter:
% degradation (CO2 evolution)
Value:
< 5
Sampling time:
28 d
Details on results:
In the toxicity control more than 25% degradation occurred within 14 days (based on ThC02). Therefore, the test substance was assumed to be not inhibitory.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
under test conditions no biodegradation observed
Conclusions:
The test substance was not readily biodegradable under the condition of the modified Sturm test presently performed.
