Details on inoculum:
- Source of inoculum: Waste water treatment plant Mannheim, Germany
- Preparation of inoculum for exposure: A suitable aliquot of the activated sludge suspension was sieved by a finely woven mesh with a mesh size about 1 mm. To reduce the content of inorganic carbon in the blank controls the activated sludge was aerated with carbon dioxide free air for about 72 hours at 22 ± 2° C. At the day of exposure the suspension was washed one time with tap water. Therefore the aeration was stopped and the sludge was allowed to settle. After settling the supernatant was discarded and the remaining sludge suspension was filled up with tap water and the concentration oft the sludge was adjusted to 6.0 g/L dry weight.

All samples were mixed by stirring in a single container for 1 h and then settled for 1h the supernatant was transferred to a culture tank after removing the floating foreign matter. The culture was aerated and adjusted to pH 7.0±1.0. Approximately 1/3 of the whole volume of the supernatant was removed and an equal volume of synthetic sewage (1g of glucose, 1g of peptones and 1g of monopotassium phosphate are dissolved in 1 litre of water and the solution is adjusted to pH 7.0±1.0 with sodium hydroxide) was added to the remaining portion of the supernatant everyday. The culturing is carried out at about 25 ± 2°c. The inoculum which sampled from multipe sites (cover for different enviromental conditions that the test substance may be exist) are based on the requirements of "Ministry of environmental protection of the people's Republic of China, The Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals - Degradation and Accumulation, 2013, 302C Inherent Biodegradability: Modified MITI Test II" and "OECD, Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals, 1981 , 302C Inherent Biodegradability: Modified MITI Test (II)". The above inoculum are suitable to investigate different potential exposure of test substance in 302C test. The inoculum began to use for testing on Sep. 28th , 2016. A fresh sample of inoculum was collected from the culture tank cleaned and washed three times with mineral medium. The sludge was separated by centrifuging for 20 minutes at about 4000rpm. A small amount of the washed sludge was weighed and dried to calculate the water content (105°C, 1h). The dry weight was 5.50%. According to the dry weight, 36.4g of concentrated sludge was calculated and suspended in 2L mineral medium to obtain a concentration of 2g suspended solids/L. The sludge suspension was used as the inoculum after stirring. The final concentrations of dry matter in inoculums blank and test substance are 100mg/L, in other test groups (except abiotic control) are 30mg/L.

Brown bottles with the volume of 500ml were used
Reference substance:
benzoic acid, sodium salt
Details on results:
The sludge cultured for 3 months was used as the inoculum in Modified MITI Test II. During the 28-d test, the temperature was in the range of 24.4-25.0°C. The air-tightness of the test systems were well and magnetic stirrers were running well. The pH of test solutions were within the range of 6.51-7.65. The average percentage degradations of procedure control were 52% and 75% after 7 and 14 days, respectively. It is concluded that the inoculum degradation activity meets the requirements of this test. The degradation percentage of toxicity control on day 14 was 54%, which was higher than the toxicity inhibition level (>25%). It is concluded that the test substance has no inhibitory effects on inoculum at the concentration of 30mg/L. The results of BOD indicated that the cumulative oxygen consumption level of three replicates of test substance group were 95.80mg/L, 94.40mg/L and 97.20mg/L respectively. They were very similar as the mean cumulative oxygen consumption of blank controls (96.50mg/L). All the results indicated that no mineralization occurred during the 28 days (the test substance could not be totally utilized by micro-organisms resulting in the production of carbon dioxide, water, mineral salts etc.). There was no biodegradability of the test substance based on the criteria of "OECD guidelines for the testing of chemicals: revised introduction to the OECD guidelines for testing of chemicals, section 3, 2006". No oxygen consumption could be observed in abiotic control in the day 28, the calculation results showed that there was no aerobic abiotic degradation
Concentration analysis by HPLC
The limit of quantification (LOQ1) of instrument for the test substance was calculated to be 0.422mg/L for the maximum signal-to-noise ratio of peak 3 is 12.1. The limit of quantification (LOQ2) of method for the test substance was calculated to be 1.99mg/L for the maximum signal-to-noise ratio of peak 3 is 26.8. It was found that the average recoveries were 85.6% and 95.3% of the spiked 1.99mg/L and 30mg/L samples with RSD values of 4.38% and 1.61 %, respectively. The mean measured concentration of test substance group (mean value) and measured concentration of abiotic control group were 29.9mg/L and 29.7mg/L respectively at zero-time, 27.1 mg/L and 25.4mg/L respectively on day 28. The mean residual rate of test substance group was 91 % on day 28, and the residual rate of abiotic control was 86%. The test substance has no biodegradability based on the results of HPLC analysis.

Interpretation of results:
not readily biodegradable
Remarks:
parent substance
Conclusions:
The substance is not readily biodegradable.

Description of key information

Not readily biodegradable according to OECD criteria. Poorly biodegradable.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Biodegradation in water:
under test conditions no biodegradation observed

Additional information

The ready biodegradability and the degradation products of the test item were assessed and identified combining several lines of evidence. An experimental study according to OECD 301 B is available for an analogue compound (the detailed read across justification can be found in the Annex of the chemical safety report). The nominal test concentration was 20 mg/L based on TOC. After 28d <10% degradation (CO2evolution) was determined. This result indicate that the test item cannot be classified as readily biodegradable under the conditions of the test.

A supporting study on the substance itself was conducted according to OECD 302 C. The initial test substance concentration was 30 mg/L (based on the substance itself). The analytical parameters were oxygen consumption, and concentration analysis by HPLC. The substance was not biodegradable under the conditions of this test.

In addition to the experimental studies, the degradability of representative components of the UVCB test substance were assessed with Catalogic v5.12.1, CATALOGIC 301 C v10.14. This tool was also used to identify the degradation products of the representative components. The components were chosen based on the results of the characterization of the test item and worst case considerations regarding the PBT properties (Table 1). On the following pages the different representative structures are only referred to according to the number in column one of Table 1.

Catalogic v5.12.1, CATALOGIC 301 C v10.14 predicted BOD values <20% for the representative components which is in line with the results of the experimental studies. The model’s applicability domain is divided into three subdomains. (1) the parameter domain (logKow, molecular weight and water solubility ranges), (2) the structural fragment domain and (3) the metabolic domain. The main component (#1) was not within the parametric domain whereas the smaller ones (#2and #3) were within the logKow, mol. weight and water solubility ranges of the parametric domain. Around 69% of the fragments of components #1 and #2 were found in correctly predicted training chemicals whereas almost 85% of the fragments of component #3 were found in correctly predicted training chemicals. The rest of the fragments were unknown and not present in the training set. Therefore, none of the components were within the structural domain of the model. However, the requirements of the metabolic domain were fulfilled and each component was in domain. The simulator of metabolism successfully simulated the mineralization. Table 2 lists the percentage of degradability (BOD) and the details of the applicability domain.

Although the compounds are not within the overall applicability domain of the model, the results are well in line with the experimental studies and regarded as adequate in a weight-of-evidence approach. None of the components can be regarded as readily biodegradable.

In addition to the prediction of the ready biodegradability the identification of degradation products was performed with the Catalogic 301 C model especially in regard to the PBT assessment. The components are not within the structural subdomain and, in case of component #1, not within the parametric subdomain. However, all components are within the metabolic domain. Therefore, the predicted metabolic pathways are reliable as the underlying metabolic transformations can be applied to the present components/their atom-centered fragments. The model successfully simulated the mineralization. The metabolites were filtered for quantity (0.1%) and logKow (4 as worst case) and further assessed for their PBT properties. The logKow threshold was set to 4 instead of the relevant screening criterion of 4.5 to avoid borderline cases. The model also predicted the respective BOD for the metabolites. The relevant metabolites are listed in Table 3.

According to the predicted BOD values, none of the metabolites can be regarded as readily biodegradable. The BOD values are <10%.

In an overall conclusion, the UVCB parent compound cannot be regarded as readily biodegradable. This is supported by the QSAR results of three representative components of the UVCB substance which also revealed degradation rates <20%. However, according to these results a certain degree of primary degradation might be assumed. According to CATALOGIC, the primary half-lives of the representative components is <2d.

The metabolites cannot be regarded as readily biodegradable either. The majority revealed BOD values of 1%. The highest predicted value was only 9%.

Regarding the persistency, the representative parent compounds clearly showed a certain degree of primary degradation. According to CATALOGIC the half-lives are <2d. Considering these results, the parent compounds do not fulfill the criteria for persistency. Especially, the alkylated amino groups are subject to enzyme-catalyzed hydrolytical cleavage. Therefore, the parent compounds of the UVCB substance are not expected to fulfill the persistency criteria.

In a subsequent step, Catalogic was used to identify possible degradation products0.1% (and logKow4) which are relevant for the PBT assessment. The majority of these metabolites revealed BOD values of only 1%. Therefore, the metabolites are expected to fulfill the persistency criteria.
