Details on study design:

Temperature: 25 ± 1°C
Test volume: 300 mL

Test bottle contents :
Bottle 1 : Test substance + ultrapure water (Abiotic sterile control)
Bottle 2-4 : Test substance + activated sludge + basal medium (test suspension)
Bottles 5 : Activated sludge + aniline + basal medium (Positive control)
Bottle 6 : Basal medium (control)

The BOD was measured continuously for 28 days.

Reference substance

Reference substance:

aniline

Results and discussion

Test performance:

From the biodegradability result based on BOD (average 0%), that of the residual test item remaining (average 5%), and the DOC (average 12%) it is concluded that the test substance is not readily biodegradable. Therefore, no transformation products were generated under the conditions of the test.

Details on results:

-Degradability based on BOD
The degree of degradability based on the BOD measurements was 0, 0, and 0% for bottles 2, 3, and 4, respectively.
-Degradability based on DOC
The degree of degradability based on the DOC measurements was 11, 13 and 13% for bottles 2, 3 and 4, respectively.
-Degradability based on the residual test substance concentration
The degree of degradability based on the residual test substance concentration was 10, 1, and 5 % for bottles 2, 3 and 4, respectively.

At the end of the experiment, the pH values were 9.0 for test substance suspension bottles with no sludge and 7.3 for test substance bottles with sludge.

BOD5 / COD results

Results with reference substance:

The degradability of aniline, based on the BOD measurements was 80 % after 7 days. The activity of the sludge was thus shown to be satisfactory.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:

yes

Interpretation of results:

under test conditions no biodegradation observed

Conclusions:

It is concluded that the test substance was not readily biodegradable and no transformation products were generated under the conditions of the modified MITI test.
