Description of key information
RA_CAS 70024-69-0, OECD 301D: 8 % degradation after 28 days (Douglas, 1989)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- under test conditions no biodegradation observed
Additional information
Experimental results for the biodegradation of the Benzenesulfonic acid, mono-C20-24 (even)-sec-alkyl derivs., para-, sodium salts (generic name: C20-24 sodium sulfonate) are not available. However, biodegradation studies were performed with three structural analogues of the C20-24 sodium sulfonate. Referring to the key study, calcium sulfonate read-across substance (Analogue of CAS 70024-69-0) attained 8 % degradation during the test duration of 28 days (OECD Guideline 301D, Douglas, 1989). With regard to the supporting studies, Sanitised, O. (1996) determined 8.6 % degradation after 28 days (OECD Guideline 301F) for the calcium sulfonate read-across substance (CAS 61789 -86 -4) while 9.1 % degradation was attained for the calcium sulfonate read-across substance (CAS 68783-96-0) after 28 days (OECD Guideline 301B, Sanitised, P. 1995). Based on the results of these studies, the C20-24 sodium sulfonate is not expected to be readily biodegradable.
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.
