Biodegradation in water: screening tests
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
Description of key information
Two studies on biodegradability of the test substance are available.
The ready biodegradability of the test item was assessed over a 28
day period by the OECD Screening Test (OECD 301E). The test material
attained up to 44 % biodegradation after 28 days whereas the
positive control substance (Aniline) was 88 % degraded after 7 days.
These results indicate that the test item cannot be classified as
readily biodegradable under conditions of the test.
In the modified Zahn-Wellens test according to OECD 302 B the test
substance was tested for inherent biodegradation. After 28 days the
test substance was degraded to 61 % after 28 days, the reference was
degraded to 100 % in 27 hours. It was concluded that the test
substance is inherently biodegradable.
In addition, the chemical oxygen demand was determined to be 1.22 g
COD/g test substance in a 2 hour study. The chemical oxygen demand
of the reference substance potassium hydrogen phthalate was
determined to be 199.3 mg COD/L.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- inherently biodegradable
