- GLP compliance:
- yes
- Radiolabelling:
- no
- Oxygen conditions:
- aerobic
- Inoculum or test system:
- activated sludge (adaptation not specified)
- Details on inoculum:
- - Source of inoculum/activated sludge (e.g. location, sampling depth, contamination history, procedure): Activated sludge was collected from the aeration tank of a waste water treatment plant treating predominantly municipal sewage. The inoculum was sampled on October 5th, 1989.

- Conclusions:
- The degradation of partially unsaturated TEA-Esterquat was investigated in a study conducted according to OECD Guideline 303 A (Simulation Test - Aerobic Sewage Treatment. A: Activated Sludge Units). In laboratory waste water treatment plant, the test substance was biodegraded by 84.9% on average during 23 d.
- Executive summary:
The aerobic biodegradation of partially unsaturated TEA-Esterquat was studied in a test according to OECD Guideline 303 A (Simulation Test - Aerobic Sewage Treatment. A: Activated Sludge Units) and in compliance with the – GLP standards. Activated sludge was collected from the aeration tank of a waste water treatment plant treating predominantly municipal sewage. The test system consisted of 2 laboratory waste water treatment plants (one receiving test material, one did not receive test material (control); the units were not coupled). After periods of stabilizing and adaptation; increasing amounts of partially unsaturated TEA-Esterquat were introduced into the system: 2.5 mg to 20 mg/L DOC. Degradation was followed by DOC measurements in the influent and effluent of the model waste water treatment plant. Samples were analyzed at day 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 23. The test substance was biodegraded by 84.9% on average during 23 d.
