- Details on experimental conditions:
- The pre-conditioned soil was adjusted to 50% of its maximal water retaining capacity. Test and control items were homogeneously mixed into the soil by aid of household mixer. Thereafter, aliquots of 180 grams dry matter were weighed into each of two gas washing bottles and then plugged with the respective equipment. Blanks were prepared in the same way where the stock solutions of test and control items were replaced by the respective amount of deionized water. The test treatments were aerated by humidified CO2-free compressed air. The incubation took place in an air conditioned room at 20 +- 1°C. Upon degradation of test and reference items ther carbon content is transformed into CO2 and liberated. This CO2 is trapped in a system of gas washing bottles being filled with bariumhydroxide solution and quatified by titration with hydrochloric acid. Comparing the amount of CO2 produced upon degradation of the test substance with the theoretical amount of CO2 (ThCO2) the percentage of degradation is calculated. The mean value of the blanks is subtracted from those with the test and control items.

- Conclusions:
- Only the reference item was degraded at a rate >60% within 28 days under the chosen conditions. The mean degradation value of the test item was 50% within 28 days and 72% after 63 days. There was no toxicity towards the bacteria at the concentration used as the toxicitity control exhibited a degradation of 55% after 28 days and 74% after 63 days. Degradation seems not having been complete after 63 days and further degradation is likely.
- Executive summary:
Only the reference item was degraded at a rate >60% within 28 days under the chosen conditions. The mean degradation value of the test item was 50% within 28 days and 72% after 63 days. There was no toxicity towards the bacteria at the concentration used as the toxicitity control exhibited a degradation of 55% after 28 days and 74% after 63 days. Degradation seems not having been complete after 63 days and further degradation is likely.
Reference
Description of key information
Degradation of the test substance was measured by CO2 evolution during incubation in the standard LUFA 2.2 soil. The mean degradation value of the test item was 50 % within 28d, and 72% after 63 days. There was no toxicity towards the bacteria at the concentration used as the toxicity control exhibited a degradation of 55% after 28d, and 74% after 63 days. Degradation seems not having been complete after 63 days and further degradation is likely.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Half-life in soil:
- 28 d
