Reference
Endpoint:
biodegradation in water: ready biodegradability
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
2020
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 301 F (Ready Biodegradability: Manometric Respirometry Test)
Version / remarks:
1992
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes
Oxygen conditions:
aerobic
Inoculum or test system:
activated sludge, domestic (adaptation not specified)
Reference substance:
benzoic acid, sodium salt
Key result
Parameter:
% degradation (O2 consumption)
Value:
99.2
Sampling time:
28 d
Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Interpretation of results:
readily biodegradable
Conclusions:
The maximum average degradation percentage of the test substance is 99.2% (at plateau, after 28 days). Furthermore, 60% degradation is obtained within the 10-day window even if the samples is an UVCB. Therefore, the substance can be considered as readily biodegradable.
