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)
Deviations:
no
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method C.4-D (Determination of the "Ready" Biodegradability - Manometric Respirometry Test)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Oxygen conditions:
aerobic
Inoculum or test system:
activated sludge, domestic, non-adapted
Details on inoculum:
A mixed population of sewage treatment micro-organisms was obtained on 16 January 2017 from the final effluent stage of the Severn Trent Water Plc sewage treatment plant at Loughborough, Leicestershire, UK, which treats predominantly domestic sewage.
Duration of test (contact time):
ca. 28 d
Key result
Parameter:
% degradation (O2 consumption)
Value:
ca. 0
Sampling time:
28 d
Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Interpretation of results:
not readily biodegradable
Conclusions:
The test item attained 0% biodegradation after 28 days and therefore cannot be considered as readily biodegradable under the strict terms and conditions of OECD Guideline No. 301F.
Executive summary:

Introduction

This study was performed to assess the ready biodegradability of the test substance in an aerobic aqueous medium. The method was designed to be compatible with the following guideline: OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals (1993) No. 301F, 'Ready Biodegradability; Manometric respirometry. Adopted 17th July 1992'

Results & Conclusions

The test substance attained 0% degradation after 28 days and therefore cannot be considered to be readily biodegradable.
