Biodegradation in water: screening tests
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- biodegradation in water: ready biodegradability
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 06/08/2011 tp 07/06/2011
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- OECD Guideline 301 C (Ready Biodegradability: Modified MITI Test (I))
- Deviations:
- no
- GLP compliance:
- yes
- Oxygen conditions:
- aerobic
- Inoculum or test system:
- mixture of sewage, soil and natural water
- Details on inoculum:
- Fresh samples were collected from ten sites, mainly in areas where a variety of chemicals were used and discharged. One liter samples were colleted and mix together. Floating material was removed and the sample was allowed to aerate for ~23.5 hours. After settling for 30 minutes, 1/3 of the sample was discarded and an equal volume of a solution (pH7) containing 0.1% each of glucose, peptone and potassium orthohosphate was added and the sample. This was repeated daily for 30 days, during which the sample was aerated and maintained at 25°C +/- 1°C and pH7. After approximately 30 days, the sludge was used as the microbial inoculum in the test.
- Duration of test (contact time):
- 28 d
- Initial conc.:
- 100 mg/L
- Based on:
- test mat.
- Parameter followed for biodegradation estimation:
- O2 consumption
- Details on study design:
- The test was performed in darkness. The BOD Analyzer was set to 20 +/- 1°C
- Key result
- Parameter:
- % degradation (O2 consumption)
- Value:
- -0.94
- Sampling time:
- 28 d
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Interpretation of results:
- under test conditions no biodegradation observed
- Conclusions:
- The test substance, 1,2-Bis9phenylthio)ethane was not concluded to be readily biodgradable, following OECD 301C guidelines.
- Executive summary:
According to the calculations, the theoretic oxygen demand of the test item was 2.66 mg O2/mg test item. The test results showed that after 28 days, the percent biodegradation of 1,2 -Bis(phenylthio)ethane in activated sludge was -0.94%. The accumulated percent biodegradation of the reference item (aniline) in activated sludge after 28 days was 78.84%. Therefore, the test material cannot be considered to be readily biodegradable.
