Description of key information
Methacrylamide is readily biodegradable in an OECD 301 E screening test within 28 days, fulfilling 10 day window. Therefore methacrylamide is regarded as readily biodegradable.
Additional information
Methacrylamide was tested in a 28 day OECD 301E screening test for readily biodegradation. 97 % biodegradation was achieved after 28 days, fulfilling 10 day-window.
Therefore methacrylamide is regarded as readily biodegradable based on OECD 301E study.
Additionally two tests of inherently biodegradation are available. One test acc. ISO 9888 (Röhm 2003) at concentration corresponding to 400 mg/l DOC was tested. 100 % DOC was eliminated after 6
days. In a second test acc. OECD 302 C (modified MITI test II) methacrylamide was also inherently biodegradable as the test reached 95 % biodegradation within 28 days (TOC-removal)
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.
