Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Interpretation of results:
- readily biodegradable
- Conclusions:
- n/i-undecanal is readily biodegradable according to OECD criteria (> 90% after 28 d; OECD 301F; Hoechst, 1991)
- Executive summary:
The test material was tested for ready biodegradability according to OECD 301F. The inoculum was derived from a wwtp treating predominantely domestice sewage. The type of inoculum was not stated. After 7 d, the degradation was above the pass level of 60%. After 14 d the degradation was greater than 90%. Therefore the test material is assessed as readily biodegradable according to OECD criteria.
The test material contained 60% 2-methyldecanal, which is the branched isomer of n-undecanal, and 35% of the linear undecanal.
