Description of key information
Additional information
The biodegradation of BBSA in water was determined in a 28day-ready-biodegradability test with carbon dioxide evolution (modified Sturm test). The substance was biodegraded for 12-23%, hence the substance is not ready biodegradable under the standard test conditions.
The biodegradation of BBSA was also determined in a standard simulation test in natural water (OECD 309) with [14C]-N-n-butylbenzenesulphonamide. The degradation rate and degradation products were measured. Two different concentrations (10 μg/L and 95 μg/L) were applied.
The mineralisation rate was negligible. The DT50 values for [14C]-N-n-butylbenzenesulphonamide were determined to be 858 days (10 μg/L) and 985 days (95 μg/L) in the water phases. Therefore, [14C]-N-n-butylbenzenesulphonamide is persistent. At both concentrations <1% of the applied radioactivity (AR) of organic volatiles were trapped. Only amounts of <1% AR were detected as CO2.
A soil degradation study is not considered necessary because exposure of the soil is unlikely. Furthermore, the substance has a low adsorption potential, the biodegradation in water is low and no transformation products were found in the water simulation 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.
