In a ready biodegradation study performed according to OECD Guideline 301 D and GLP, β-pinene was tested at concentrations of 2 mg/L and the inoculum was activated sewage sludge, domestic. The degradation of the test material was assessed by the determination of the oxygen consumption. The test treatments, inoculum blank, and reference (sodium acetate) were measured in duplicates.
At 2 mg/L test concentration, greater than 10% biodegradation of the test substance was reached on Day 3 and greater than 60% biodegradation was reached on Day 13. Hence, the test material met the 14 day window requirement for ready biodegradability. On Day 28, the biodegradation was 76%.
The reference material, sodium acetate, reached greater than 60% biodegradation on Day 6. β-pinene was considered to be non-toxic to micro-organisms as inhibition of the endogenous respiration of the inoculum was not detected during the test. Hence, the study met the validity criteria for reference material and toxicity control. The endogenous respiration at Day 28 was 1.0 mg/L and oxygen concentration during the test was greater than 0.5 mg/L.

The biodegradation of Sabinene was studied using a Manometric Respirometry Test according to the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, Method No. 301F. Inoculum came from fresh activated sludge from a biological waste water treatment plant in the city of Bois-de-Bay that treated predominantly domestic sewage. Sodium Benzoate was used as a reference substance. Toxicity of the test substance has been investigated and showed no inhibition. Initial concentration of the test substance was 100 mg/l. Biodegradation of the test substance is recorded by the evolution of the O2 consumption during the study. O2 consumption was recorded every day.
Sabinene undergoes 76% biodegradation after 28 days and 81% after 61 days. Therefore, and in accordance with The OECD Guidelines 301F, Sabinene is considered as ready biodegradable. Validity criteria are all met, the study is considered as acceptable for the endpoint.
