Additional information
The biodegradability of 2,2'-phenyliminodiethanol was investigated by Gannon et al. (1978) conducting manometric measurements of the biological oxygen demand according to the methods described in Tool, R. H. (1967) and using a bacterium (belonging to genus Pseudomonas) as test organism. Degradation was 0.5% after 10 d. The method of investigation has deficiencies as the inoculum was pre-exposed to the test substance (reliability 4).
In addition, the biodegradation was estimated using several estimation models, supporting the poor biodegradability of the substance:
- Catalogic v5.11.16, CATABOL OECD 301C v02.07:
The model predicted the substance to be not readily biodegradable. Based on O2-consumption (BOD), the model estimated 2% biodegradation after 28 days; the primary half-life was calculated to 2 years, 3 months and 7 days. The substance is 100% within the applicability domain of the model .
- Catalogic v5.11.16, CATALOGIC Kinetic (OECD 301B) v.02.08:
The model predicted the substance to be not readily biodegradable. Based on CO2-evolution, the model estimated 20% biodegradation after 28 days; the primary half-life was calculated to be 29.31 days. The substance is not within the applicability domain of the model (100% parameter domain; 100% mechanistic domain; 46.2% structural domain, due to unknown fragments).
- Catalogic v5.11.16, CATALOGIC Kinetic 301F v12.15:
The model predicted the substance to be not readily biodegradable. Based on BOD, the model estimated 16% biodegradation after 28 days; the primary half-life was calculated to be 29.21 days. The substance is 100% within the applicability domain of the model.
Based on weight-of-evidence approach, it can be concluded that the substance is not readily biodegradable (according to OECD criteria).
