Description of key information
Under the experimental conditions, the test substance is non readily biodegradable in the 28-day modified Sturm test. Since biodegradation of the test substance totalled 28% at the end of the test, the test substance is considered to be inherently biodegradable.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- inherently biodegradable
Additional information
The ready biodegradability of the test substance was evaluated using a 28-day modified Sturm test according to OECD guideline No. 301B and EC method C.4 -C, where all validity criteria were respected. The test item contained approximately 75 % of peroxide and 25 % of stabilizing agent (Isododecane) and was dispersed in reconstituted water (OECD mineral medium).
The inoculum consisted of sewage sludge sampled from the aeration tank of a sewage treatment plant and then aerated for 6 days. Inoculum concentration was 12.0 mg/L (dry weight) in all test vessels. CO2 scrubbed air was bubbled through the flasks for the 28-day test period.
The obtained results showed that the 10-day window (the 10 days immediately following the attainment of 10% biodegradation) started on the 3rd day. Biodegradation of the test substance totalled 26% at the end of this 10-day window (13th day) and 28% at the end of the test. Therefore, the test substance is considered to be inherently biodegradable. Under the experimental conditions, the test substance is not readily biodegradable in the 28-day modified Sturm 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.
