Description of key information
The ready biodegradability was tested in study (Ciba-Geigy Ltd., 1989) according to OECD 301B (1992) with the close structural analogue substance CAS 1324-29-4. After the 28 day incubation period a degradation rate of 1 -3 % was observed. The test substance is considered to be not ready biodegradable under the test conditions.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- under test conditions no biodegradation observed
Additional information
The ready biodegradability of the substance was tested in study (Ciba-Geigy Ltd., 1989) according to OECD 301B (1992) with the close structural analogue substance CAS 1324-29-4. The biodegradation rate was determined by measuring the CO2 evolution of domestic activated sludge at test substance concentrations of 11 mg/L and 20.6 mg/L, respectively. The biodegradation of the reference substance (aniline) was determined to be 84.2 % in 28 days. The validity criteria were fulfilled. After the 28 day incubation period a degradation rate of 1 - 3 % was observed. The test substance is considered to be not ready biodegradable under the test conditions.
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.
