Description of key information
The substance is readily biodegradable according to OECD criteria.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- readily biodegradable
Additional information
The key study investigates the biodegradation of Sulfonic acids, C14-16 (even numbered)-alkane hydroxy and C14-16 (even numbered)-alkene, sodium salts in a modified Sturm test according to OECD guideline 301B using domestic activated sludge as inoculum. After 28 days the test substance was degraded by 80 % (Bazzon, 1997). Hence, the test substance is readily biodegradable according to OECD criteria.
Further, the biodegradation rates in all tests were above the trigger values for ready biodegradation indicating that the test substance is readily biodegradable in freshwater as well as in marine compartment.
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.
