Biodegradation in water: screening tests
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
Description of key information
The test substance was considered to be ‘not readily biodegradable’.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- under test conditions no biodegradation observed
- Type of water:
- freshwater
Additional information
A study was conducted to assess the ready biodegradability of the test substance according to OECD Guideline 301D, EPA Guideline OPPTS 835.3110 and EU Method C.4-E, in compliance with GLP. Microbial inoculum (0.5 mL/L) was added to each preparation bottle of test substance, reference control (sodium benzoate), inoculum control and toxicity control and kept at a constant temperature (22±2°C) for up to 28 d. Degradation was assessed by the determination of Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) on Days 7, 14, 16, 21 and 28. The test substance degraded 2.5% by 28 d. The reference compound showed 82.5% degradation after 28 d incubation. In the toxicity control containing both, the test substance and the reference control, means of 40.5% and 40.1% biodegradation were noted within 14 and 28 d of incubation, respectively. The test substance can be assumed to bot not inhibitory at the applied concentration level of 2.6 mg/L on the activated sludge microorganisms as degradation was above 25% within 14 d. Hence, under the study conditions, the test substance was considered to be ‘not readily biodegradable’ (Sipos K, 2014a).
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.
