Description of key information
Terpenes and terpenoids, turpentine oil, alpha-pinene fraction oligomers attained 8% degradation over 28 days and is not considered to be readily biodegradable.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
A GLP-compliant biodegradation study following OECD Guideline 301F was conducted (Harlan Laboratories 2012). The validity criteria for the test were fulfilled: mean BOD of the innoculated mineral medium (control) was 16.08 mg O2/l after 28 days, pH in the inncoulated test item vessels ranged from 7.4 to 7.5 on day 28 and the difference between extremes of replicate BOD values was less that 20%. The test item cannot be considered to be readily biodegradable under the conditions of the test.
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.
